Why is surrogacy in China proving so difficult to ban despite the crackdown?

Surrogacy in China has proven difficult to ban despite repeated crackdowns. This underground practice continues to persist, with two laboratories in central China being shut down for alleged surrogacy activities. The recent crackdowns, which have resulted in the detention of six people, highlight the challenges authorities face in eradicating this illicit industry. The persistence of surrogacy in China has significant implications for the country's reproductive health policies and the potential for exploitation of vulnerable individuals.

Why it matters

China's surrogacy crackdown has not been effective, and the practice continues underground. This is a complex issue with many factors at play, including cultural and economic influences.
