Lin Liang Hui, a 43-year-old Chinese, is accused of being involved in a ring traffiking Vietnamese women to China

Police in the southern province of Tay Ninh Thursday said that they had arrested ten people, including one Chinese, for allegedly trafficking women to China, where they were sold to Chinese men as wives.

According to police, they busted the ring on July 6 when they caught Vong Kam Sang, 62, Pham Thi Nhung, 46, and Lin Liang Hui – a 43-year-old Chinese man – completing check-in procedures for three Vietnamese women and three Chinese men to fly to Hanoi.
The group planned to go to China by road from Hanoi.
Later police seized seven other suspected members in the ring.
Initial police reports said that the Vietnamese suspects were in charge of “recruiting” women for Lin, who would bring Chinese men here to meet them.

After that Lin would send the women to China, police said, adding that for every woman Lin received VND80-100 million (US$3,800-4,700) from Chinese men.
So far 40 Vietnamese women have been sold to China by the ring, police said.
The case is being investigated further.

They say "

“I can’t say what made me fall in love with Vietnam - that a woman’s voice can drug you; that everything is so intense. The colors, the taste, even the rain. Nothing like the filthy rain in London. They say whatever you’re looking for, you will find here. They say you come to Vietnam and you understand a lot in a few minutes, but the rest has got to be lived. The smell: that’s the first thing that hits you, promising everything in exchange for your soul. And the heat. Your shirt is straightaway a rag. You can hardly remember your name, or what you came to escape from. But at night, there’s a breeze. The river is beautiful. You could be forgiven for thinking there was no war; that the gunshots were fireworks; that only pleasure matters. A pipe of opium, or the touch of a girl who might tell you she loves you. And then, something happens, as you knew it would. And nothing can ever be the same again.”

Tips on Travel to Vietnam

It's always warm in Southeast Asia apart from high mountains, so leave the heavy clothing at home. Cotton and breathable fabrics are always better than synthetics -- although cotton does wrinkle a lot when traveling! December through April is roughly the dry season in that region, although it can still rain a little. December is a good time to go in terms of temperature -- cooler than in the humid summertime. Either way, wearing more clothing (shirt sleeves and long pants) is always more respectful towards the Asian culture, especially when visiting temples and rural areas.
