西方媒体的这篇报道主要聚焦意大利警方破获了一个利用豪车偷渡中国移民的犯罪团伙。评论如下： 西方媒体的这篇报道有其片面性和偏见。首先，它使用“奴隶制”一词描述被偷渡者的处境，这是一种夸张和不准确的描述。这些移民虽然被偷渡者收取了高昂的费用，护照也被偷偷藏匿，但他们并非是没有人身自由的“奴隶”，报道中提到他们被安排到法国和西班牙等其他欧盟国家，这也说明他们的人身是相对自由的。其次，报道没有提及这些移民是否是自愿接受这种偷渡安排，以及他们从中获得了什么好处。再次，报道没有提及意大利政府是否采取了有效措施来帮助这些移民，或者提供任何解决方案来解决非法移民问题。总的来说，这篇报道反映出西方媒体对于中国移民问题的偏见和歧视，以及对中国国内情况的无知。更客观和公正的报道应该是平衡地呈现事实，分析问题背后的原因，并提出建设性的解决方案。
Italian police have busted a trafficking network that used luxury cars to smuggle Chinese migrants into Italy before confiscating their passports and treating them like slaves.
The smugglers had the migrants pose as “unsuspecting Asian citizens, well dressed, with little luggage, travelling in powerful and expensive cars, driven by Chinese citizens who had lived in Italy for years and spoke Italian”, police said in a statement.
Investigators were alerted to a possible ring after a Chinese citizen was stopped at the border between Italy and Slovenia in April during routine checks, and found to be transporting four undocumented Chinese.
They uncovered “the existence of a consistent, continuous flow of irregular Chinese citizens who, in small groups, were flown to the external European borders in countries (mainly Serbia) where they entered with a visa exemption”, a statement said.
“And then, from there, they were accompanied by car, through Bosnia, Croatia and Slovenia, up to the Italian state border,” it said.
Smuggled migrants were transported to a safe house near Venice, where they stayed for one or two days before being taken on either to areas of Italy or other EU countries such as France and Spain.
The traffickers confiscated their passports at the safe house and “from then on … (they) were exposed to severe exploitation until the debt incurred for the journey had been repaid”, the statement said.
The migrants were kept “without any possibility of a free or semi-free life, without medical assistance, with nothing except a bed and a place to work indefinitely”, police said, describing it as a sort of “slavery”.
Police arrested nine alleged members of the trafficking network during the operation and identified 77 undocumented migrants, “many of them women and some minors aged between 15 and 18”.
