It's the same sh*t and the only way to fix the problem is to cut the root cause.

In the case of China, the root cause is recruiters and employers knowingly lying to clueless FOB foreigners about the legality of working in China. And when the foreigners run into troubles, there is no one to be found and help them.

In the case of the West, the root cause if human traffickers, often citizens of said illegal immigrants countries, crossing the border illegally

We agree that in both cases, the root cause must be eliminated, not the victims.

Problem is China is quick to blame illegal working foreigners but some infamous recruiters (i.e. Rebecca [edited]) are well protected behind their guanxi despite numerous reports of their activities with proof to the police from legal staying foreigners and Chinese citizens.

Maybe it's time to go get them ourselves and to do our own justice.
