Multiple hospitals across several provinces in central and southern China were allegedly involved in providing fake birth certificates for abducted babies, with seven suspects arrested and four others being detained in Hubei province alone, according to Chinese state media.

Sina reported on Nov. 13 that local authorities, after receiving information and materials from Shangguan Zhengyi, an anti-child abduction and trafficking volunteer group, have ramped up scrutiny at hospitals in Hubei, Guangxi, and Guangdong, and dozens of suspects are currently under investigation.
