US Department of State. (2003). 2002 Human Rights Report, China. Section 6, F.: Trafficking in Persons: "According to some estimates by experts, there were 4 to 10 million commercial sex workers in the country. The increased commercialization of sex and related trafficking in women trapped thousands of women in a cycle of crime and exploitation and left them vulnerable to disease and abuse. According to the official Xinhua News Agency, one in five massage parlors in the country was involved in prostitution, with the percentage higher in cities." http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/19602.doc
