Jiangsu authorities vowed to "severely crackdown on crimes related to trafficking women and children."
China has fired, punished and probed more than a dozen local officials in eastern Jiangsu province, after an investigation intended to quell public anger over the case of a mother of eight found chained by the neck.
The Communist Party chief for Feng county was among those fired, the official Xinhua News Agency reported Wednesday, citing the local government investigation. Officials also announced a crackdown on the trafficking of women, pledging to investigate cases that infringed on the rights of women, children and mentally disabled people.
Jiangsu authorities vowed to "severely crackdown on crimes related to trafficking women and children, as well as those who purchase trafficked women and children," report added.
The Jiangsu government announced last week that it would form a team to "find the truth," after China censored a letter signed by 100 alumni of Peking University calling for the central government to look into the matter, a rare public challenge to President Xi Jinping's government.
Three of the top 10 trending topics on China's Twitter-like Weibo were about the investigation.
The woman's plight outraged citizens after a video showing her confined in a doorless hut appeared in late January. Many users of the Twitter-like Weibo posted past cases of women being trafficked across the world's No. 2 economy, including footage of a man confining his wife to a potato shed, and discussed the limited rights of rural women.
Much of the public anger was directed at officials in Xuzhou, the third-largest city in the rich coastal province of Jiangsu that borders the financial hub of Shanghai. Their early statements seemed to play down the plight of the woman living in the rural village of Dongji and at times contradicted each other.
The woman, named Xiaohuamei, came from a remote village in Yunnan and was sold twice in late 1990s, the investigation confirmed. The second sale was to the Dong family, whose son married her in 2000 and changed the woman's surname to Yang. She gave birth to eight children between 1999 and 2020, Xinhua said.
Local prosecutors have now arrested the woman's husband on charges of maltreatment, and another two people for trafficking, the investigation said. Separately, six people were detained by police amid ongoing criminal investigations.
"The fate of this woman is too tragic," former investigative journalist Tiemu, who traveled to Yunnan to try to confirm Yang's identity, told the Chinese-language podcast Story FM. "In that era, many Chinese women have encountered such a situation -- they were reduced to tools."
He said society should have the courage to correct its mistakes. "And we should have the conscience to correct those errors," he added.

Disturbing footage showing a Chinese mother of eight chained by the neck to an outdoor shed has sent shockwaves through the country — and sparked backlash about its treatment of rural women.
The video, which was posted by a blogger on the Chinese version of TikTok called Douyin in late January, showed the woman wearing a metal collar outside of a filthy home in China’s rural Jiangsu province, according to the blog Whats On Weibo .
The mother, who is named Xiao Huamei, was seen wearing only wearing a sweater despite being filmed in the middle of winter in chilly Fengxian county.
At one point in the video, the blogger gives her a coat. The metal collar around her neck is visible throughout the short video, and the mom is missing teeth.
Xiao is seen struggling to communicate, leading social media users to question her mental capabilities and wonder if she was forced to have her eight children, including one who was just recently born.
The footage also featured some of her children who explained that they bring their mother food every day while she remains chained up, according to the blog.
Social media users expressed ire and concern over the video, some wondering if Xiao was abused, why she had recently had a child if she might be mentally ill.
One woman wrote in an online post that she tried to visit the mother and was told Xiao was now hospitalized, Washington Post reported .
To give the full story, here is the original video that caused the social media storm, which is still ongoing today (tw distressing content, not sure why the lock is blurred, as if that is the most shocking thing about this video..) pic.twitter.com/UOA5zrfeQ4
“The video really was too frightening. Everyone is paying attention because we can imagine ourselves in this situation, and then it’s quite scary,” Liu Ruishuang, deputy director of the department of medical ethics and health law at Peking University told the newspaper. “Is it the case that every day we have to be afraid that we too may be trafficked?”
More backlash ensued over the response given by authorities, who originally misspelled the woman’s name when insisting that “there was no abduction and trafficking” and that she suffers from schizophrenia.
Local officials then gave two more statements: one insisting that Xiao was only restrained by family when unstable and then another claiming she had been sent by her family to the rural area to find a husband but then went missing.
One post on WeChat that went viral and has since disappeared compared Xiao to Olympic star Eileen Gu.
“The systemic and structural shackles that Chinese women face have not changed. The vast majority of women have no chance of becoming Eileen Gu, but the tragedy of the woman in Fengxian can happen to anyone,” the post read.

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Australia’s prime minister on Wednesday urged China to allow detained Chinese-born Australian journalist Cheng Lei to make her first contact with her children in more than two years.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese renewed his government’s call for Cheng to have access to her family after China’s Ambassador Xiao Qian offered the family his help.
“Cheng Lei should have access to her family. Australia continues to make representation and we have a very strong view about her treatment, and we’ll continue to make representation,” Albanese told reporters.
“There’s been no transparency in any of these processes at all. And the Chinese Government needs to do better,” Albanese added.
The journalist for CGTN, the English-language channel of China Central Television, has been detained in China since August 2019.
She was tried in Beijing in March on espionage charges. Australian diplomats were denied permission to attend the proceedings. No verdict has been announced.
A change of government in Australia for the first time in nine years at May elections has produced signs of a thawing of frosty bilateral relations.
Xiao said on Tuesday he had sympathy on humanitarian grounds for Cheng’s family, that includes a young son and daughter who live with their grandparents in Melbourne, Australia.
“Personally, I have sympathy to her family, her kids and their relatives that they face such a difficult situation,” Xiao told Australian Broadcasting Corp.
“On the humanitarian basis, I’ve been trying to see if I can be help as ambassador to facilitate a possible much easier access” between Cheng and her family or the Australian Embassy in Beijing, Xiao said.
Xiao said his intervention would be “based on humanitarian considerations.”
“I cannot get involved with the legal procedure,” Xiao said.
Cheng’s Papua New Guinea-based partner Nick Coyle said in a television interview last month that Cheng’s access to her family was “virtually nonexistent.”
“Lei hasn’t been able to make a phone call or anything like that to her children, to her parents to any of her loved ones now in two years,” Coyle told Sky News.
Australian embassy officials ask for family contact each month but Chinese officials never respond, Coyle said.
“Lei just needs to get home to the kids and kids need their mom,” Coyle said.
