The trafficking is no longer in the present tense. It was exposed in 2005, and no longer takes place. It involved approximately 900 babies (all total). To put this into perspective, according to the US Consulate in China, in 2005 alone, Guangzhou's ACIVU processed 7906 visas for adopted orphans from China.
In addition, it's believed that the the majority of the infants that were involved in the Hunan incidents, were from birth parents selling their babies to the traffickers instead of abandoning them. As far as I know, it was not due to a shortage of children. The preceived reason for the handfull of SWIs purchasing the babies was for quick profit, because most potential parents request AYAP, and the children being sold to the traffickers were infants.
