Chinese authorities have arrested over 600 people and freed 178 children as part of a nationwide crackdown on child trafficking.
In southeastern China, police raid houses - arresting people suspected of buying and selling children.
Here, police rescue a baby boy.
This suspect allegedly paid around 9,000 US dollars for a trafficker to find him a child - at the time of purchase, the boy was only 20 days old.
The arrests took place on November 30, and China's Ministry of Public Security heralded the crackdown "one of the biggest victories for anti-trafficking".
Child trafficking is rampant in China, where population control policies have bolstered a traditional bias for male offspring, and have at times resulted in abortions, killings or abandonment of girls.
