59: Bride Trafficking

In this episode we will be discussing the very precarious demographic issue in China but we will be focussing in some of the end results of that. We will be talking about how the one child policy has changed the face of the country as well as the behaviour of men and women in society. We also touch on a disturbing viral story that is thought to be a result of human trafficking and how communist run countries create hollow societies.
