There is no proof that Pakistani women were forced into prostitution or sold their organs after they married to China, according to a senior official at China's
Ministry of Public Security.
Chen Shiqu, deputy director of the criminal investigation bureau under the ministry, said that Chinese law prohibits the establishment of foreign-related matchmaking agencies, and individuals are banned from engaging in foreign-related matchmaking services through deception or for profit, according to the website of the Chinese Embassy in Pakistan.
Chen made the remarks when visiting Pakistan from April 24 to Wednesday. The two sides had in-depth discussions on the safety of Chinese enterprises and personnel, strengthening police and judicial cooperation and jointly cracking down on illegal international matchmaking agencies.
Chen said that China would like to cooperate with Pakistani law-enforcement departments to crack down on agencies dealing with illegal international marriages to protect the legitimate rights of people in the two countries.
The embassy also issued a statement on Friday, reiterating that investigations by China's Ministry of Public Security showed no forced prostitution or sale of human organs from Pakistani women who stay in China after marrying Chinese.
The statement came after some false media reports, including one from Pakistan Today, claimed that eight Chinese men were arrested by Pakistan's Federal Investigation Agency for their alleged involvement in trafficking Pakistani girls to China for prostitution.
"It is worth noting that several media reports have fabricated information and spread rumors," the embassy's statement said.
