"Why Were 100,000 Pregnant Women’s Blood Samples Smuggled Out of China?"
Here's the setup, can you guess why the blood was being smuggled?
The case was part of a major operation by Guangzhou’s anti-smuggling authorities following a year-long investigation and the mobilization of 265 officers. As part of the operation, two professional criminal groups specializing in the smuggling of pregnant women’s blood samples were dismantled, and a total of 26 people were arrested.
The groups earned a staggering 30 million yuan (US$4.2 million) from their blood-smuggling activities.
So far, the story reads almost like a vampire novel, especially with Chinese media detailing how the blood was smuggled: smugglers reportedly strapped tubes of blood to their bodies to cross the border. Others hid them in specially modified suitcases with concealed compartments.
