The meaning of smuggling.

The meaning of smuggling is as follows for reference:

First of all, a brief introduction.

Smuggling across the border refers to the act that a natural person can be investigated for administrative or criminal responsibility for violating the national (border) management regulations without going through the designated port or border inspection, or crossing the border or passing through the legal imaginary border without an exit permit or an entry permit. It is illegal to cross the border illegally.

Second, the origin

1. With the rise of the European capital movement 500 years ago, some transnational business transactions increased day by day, and many businessmen started large-scale illegal immigration and "smuggling" under the condition of imperfect laws at that time. Among them, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese and British "sneaked into" Taiwan Province Province, Hongkong and Macau on the southeast coast of China to do business.

2. Since the Ming Dynasty, China Zheng He's seven voyages to the West were also escorted by powerful gunboats, and he wandered uninvited in the Indian Ocean countries of Southeast Asia, South Asia and East Africa. Especially after the Opium War, businessmen from Spain, Britain and other western countries smuggled hundreds of thousands of laborers from Xiamen and Shantou to North and South America and South Africa respectively.

3. Among them, from 1847 to 1852, there were 15000 Chinese workers who smuggled out of Xiamen. After 1852, 40,000 China laborers "smuggled" from Shantou; In addition, this trade, which was accused by Chinese people of selling "piglets", was also transferred to Macao. According to relevant historical statistics, hundreds of thousands of Chinese workers smuggled from Macao to Cuba and Peru.

4. According to statistics from 65438 to 0882, there were 290,000 China laborers who were "smuggled" by western powers to San Francisco in the western United States to develop gold mines and build railways. According to relevant statistics, from 1807 to 1925, more than 3 million Chinese workers were illegally smuggled and sold to all parts of the world through the hands of the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, France, Britain and the United States.

The causes of these illegal immigration activities all started from the expansion of western powers. Successive governments in China have resolutely opposed such large-scale illegal "illegal" immigrants who have crossed the ocean and been confined in cabins with no personal safety guarantee.

6. However, this kind of illegal smuggling, which was taught and taught by western ancestors, has already formed the custom of relatives and friends "going out" before and people "going out" after in the southeast coast of China.
