Charles, According to the article that does not appear to be the case. Even if one could argue that poverty made selling ones blood an important additional income (one person that the journalist interviewed said he'd sold his blood around a thousand times) and even if poverty did not allow for hygenic drawing of blood (hard to imagine) then at least the Chinese government could help these people out...instead, they get ignored or menaced by the police.
