Abstract
This article first discusses the shortcomings of the crime of human trafficking in China, which involve "different crimes of buying and selling." These include the relatively light criminal responsibility of the buyer, the singular statutory punishment, and the unclear conditions for applying a lighter punishment. The second part of the article reviews the perspectives on the "same crime of buying and selling" in the context of human trafficking. Professors Luo Xiang and Ken Sangmoto primarily advocate for the concept of the "same crime of buying and selling," while Professors Che Hao and Bai Langtao oppose this viewpoint. They further elaborate on and provide reasons for their stance against the "same crime of buying and selling" in this article. Additionally, suggestions for enhancing the handling of human trafficking crimes in China are presented from the perspective of the controversy surrounding the "same crime of buying and selling." These suggestions mainly focus on strengthening penalties for buyers, refining statutory criminal regulations, and specifying criteria for applying lenient punishments.
