Abstract

Bride trafficking is a phenomenon where women are sold for forced marriage. This phenomenon occurs in many Vietnamese women brought to China without their consent to marry. It has been claimed that there are 'supply and demand factors in encouraging the development of bride trafficking from Vietnam to China, such as an imbalanced sex ratio in China and a lack of education. This research analyses the occurrence of bride trafficking from Vietnam to China through the lens of gender and politics. Using the narrative analysis method and literature study through the perspective of socialist feminism, this research found that bride trafficking from Vietnam to China embodies double oppression towards Vietnamese women. It results from the intersection between two oppressive structures: patriarchy and capitalism.Consequently, a practice of sexual economy is developed in the form of bride trafficking. This research also found that globalization significantly affects bride trafficking from Vietnam to China. Globalization paves the way for this phenomenon to happen. Thus, this article offers a perspective favouring women in analyzing transnational phenomena in international relations.Keywords: bride trafficking; globalization; patriarchy; capitalism; sexual objectification

从越南到中国的新娘贩卖:对社会主义女权主义的批判

贩卖新娘是一种贩卖妇女强迫结婚的现象。这种现象发生在许多未经同意就被带到中国的越南妇女身上。据称，从越南到中国的新娘贩卖有供需因素，比如中国的性别比例失衡和缺乏教育。本研究从性别和政治的角度分析了从越南到中国的新娘贩卖的发生。本研究运用叙事分析法和社会主义女性主义视角下的文献研究法，发现从越南到中国的新娘贩卖体现了越南妇女受到的双重压迫。它源于父权制和资本主义这两种压迫性结构的交集。因此，以新娘贩卖的形式发展了性经济的做法。本研究还发现，全球化显著影响了从越南到中国的新娘贩卖。全球化为这一现象的发生铺平了道路。因此，本文在分析国际关系中的跨国现象时，提供了一个有利于妇女的视角。关键词:拐卖新娘;全球化;父权制;资本主义;性对象化
