Viral video highlights targeting of Hmong women to marry Chinese men
Many of the young women who accept the marriage offers end up victims of human trafficking in China.
The man behind the phone chuckles as he calls out in the Hmong language to villagers sitting around a raised wooden home in rural Laos.
A young man in a yellow hooded sweatshirt offers a slightly embarrassed smile, while other men gathered around a motorbike appear to pay him no mind.
The camera zooms in on two young women who look shocked or turn away, as others laugh, before it settles on a girl barely in her teens, sitting atop a bike between two other children.
This 30-second video, shot in an undisclosed location in Laos, went viral late last month after it was posted to Facebook, along with dialogue warning of ethnic Hmong middlemen working as interpreters for Chinese nationals seeking Hmong women and girls as wives.
While the offer of marriage can be a financial leg up for largely poor Hmong villagers in rural Laos, many women who accept end up victims of human trafficking, according to a Lao official, who is calling on authorities to take action against the middlemen.
Some of the women end up as forced laborers and sometimes face physical punishment, the official said.
“In the video, the middleman goes to a village and says that there are some Chinese men looking for Lao Hmong girls and women to be their wives,” a speaker of the Hmong language told Radio Free Asia.
“The video doesn’t mention the province, district, or village,” he said. “It’s only clear that Chinese men are looking for Lao Hmong wives.”

Inside Diane’s Place, a Landmark New Restaurant for Hmong American Cuisine
At Diane Moua’s Minneapolis restaurant, the Beard-nominated pastry chef delves into the savory world
Pastry chef Diane Moua’s new Hmong American restaurant, Diane’s Place, is finally open in Northeast Minneapolis. It’s a big moment for a few reasons, the first being that Moua, who has spent decades at the apex of the Twin Cities’ pastry scene, is now leading all realms of the kitchen, serving bright papaya tamarind salads and slow-simmered noodle soups alongside her pastries. But it’s also a watershed for Minnesota, another restaurant cementing the Cities as the capital of Hmong American cuisine, home to coarse-ground Hmong sausage, pickled mustard greens, and sweet pork Danishes with salted-cured egg yolk.
Moua is no stranger to restaurant openings — she’s a veteran of La Belle Vie, Solera, Spoon and Stable, and Bellecour, where she became known for her dexterity, her speed, and her subtly sweet pastry style, earning two James Beard nominations for Outstanding Pastry Chef. Small echoes of her past appear at Diane’s Place: Spoon & Stable’s iconic honey and cream cake is rendered as a shot with Red Locks whiskey, and many of the cocktails have intricate pastry garnishes. (The “She-Eye,” she says, is a little inside joke for the Hmong girls who love their Sex on the Beaches — it comes with a whorl of white chocolate.) “There’s a little bit of my world in all the dishes,” Moua says.
But opening Diane’s place, Moua says, has been a whole different beast. “Usually when I’ve opened a restaurant, I’m like an eighth of the restaurant,” Moua says. “Now I’m the owner, the chef, the pastry chef. I had the team come in, and I was losing my shit because it was like ‘Chef, chef, chef, chef!’” To train her staff, she built a staggered schedule: lamination team at 5 a.m., pastry team at 10 a.m., savory team at 1 p.m. In the evening she’d do computer work. “I think back on it and it’s fun, but in the moment it’s very stressful.”
