Hong Kong — China has suspended two health authorities in the southern Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region as authorities are investigating the case of a boy taken from his parents by local government officials in the 1990s.
The most commented case on Chinese social media was after the mass turmoil about the case of a woman chained or caged by a man who bought a woman. It is in the midst of crackdowns on kidnapping and trafficking.

In a comment posted on Tuesday about the social media platform Weibo, Tang said the local health department to which the case was transferred had a baby for a "social coordination" policy under the one-child policy. The rule that said that was taken away. The
Bureau said it refused to admit the case as trafficking. This is the description used by many who commented online.

Prolific Chinese commentator and state-sponsored former editor of Global Times, Hu Xijin, called the "social adjustment" policy harmful and contributed to Weibo's problems. ..
"If Quanzhou County engaged in the unified social coordination of additional children born more than 20 years ago, it is clearly wrong, according to the understanding of today's people. , Very inhumane, "he said in a post.
