In recent years, whole monographs have been written about the plight of these women, and I see it as another form of Holocaust of East Asian women (and also a few non-Asians who were trapped within the gulag). As quoted in the news, when you know you are going to die anyway, you have nothing to lose.

Will write more on this issue when I have the time. Might upload more materials on this in the wing dedicated to women's issues
