The reason why you tend to see other nationalities in sex trading is because they've came from poor countries and someone has told them that they will get wealthy by following their lead. Most of the girls are unaware they are joining a sex-trade and are tricked by being told they can become models, actresses, and singers for free.
Some of the children are simply seen traveling alone to the market and snatched up quickly. It isn't uncommon to send young children out alone to pick up a few items at the market in poorer countries. These children are very vulnerable and may even follow a stranger if offered more money or free market items to bring back to their families.
Usually, when the people are tricked into going along, a fake company comes up and offers to take these young girls to the United States where they will become "famous" and all of the other pretty little things they really desire but are simply too poor and too young to be able to do. The poorer and younger the girl, the more likely the girl will believe their lies. After the girl gets her passport they are usually asked to give it over to the person in charge of the group for "safe-keeping" which really ensures that the girl isn't going to leave the country after they move them away from their friends and family.
There is also the note that these young people want to help support their poor families and may seek out jobs early in life. They may find ads offering them jobs as nannies, waitresses, or simply cleaning hotel rooms. The jobs seem easy and doable and they are told they will be paid reasonably. They feel that this is a good way to help get money to send back to their families and go into it.
Many times when the girl goes to the "interview" section of all of this they are greeted by a woman to throw them off the tracks of it being a scam. The woman seems to be pretty, friendly, and wealthy. The woman also swears on the Bible and other holy things that she is being honest and sincere about the job and pay. Her job is to completely convince the girl that she will be helping her family so much and that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The parents of these girls usually do not know what exactly is going to happen; however, there are cases in which the parents sell off one of their children to have money to feed the rest of the family. Sometimes the family is tricked and told that they owe someone for something and if they trade off their youngest son/daughter the debt will be paid. It's wrong to do but, like I said, these people usually come from very poor countries.
The women could also be talked into marrying a wealthy, smooth-looking man that is just "visiting" their country. The man may offer her a very simple home-life and money to send back to her family for just marrying him. These men do tend to insist that the woman move away from her family though and to where he lives in a totally different country. These women finally think a wealthy man has shown interest in them and fall into the trap. The man takes them out of the country and the woman finds out he's been doing this to many women and has his own sex-trade going on.
From there they are kept prisoner, pretty much. They are told that very bad things will happen to them, their friends, and/or their family if they even attempt to leave or seek out help. The girls tend to be very young so many of them fully believe the power these men hold against them. They are also beaten until they stop fighting back against their capture and simply go along with what they are instructed to do. Sometimes the child is taken so young that they forget where their family resides and believes they have no one to turn to for help.

Kidnapping is one of the main ways that it happens. This kind of thing happens all over Europe (often with Eastern European girls) not just Asia.
I have seen a number of programs on it. Also I am originally Romanian so I have heard a lot of details on how it occurrs (both with Romanian girls being abducted and with girls that were kidnapped and taken to Romania).
Anyways they very often pick them up in villages and smaller towns. Sometimes they are just taken off the street, other times it is semi voluntary after they are lied to (about all the great stuff they will get in the west).
From then on they are taken abroad and told that all sorts of nasty things will happen to them if the authorities ever find out. Fear is the key really, they are kept in constant terror- so much so that when people try to rescue them they often run away (sometimes back to their captors).
I saw them bust a huge Asian prostiture ring on tv. Even after reassuring the girls all was going to be ok, that they were not in trouble etc. almost all ran away when they turned their back on them.
In Romania about 10 years ago I heard some guys talking about the prostitutes they frequented. One was bragging about the price (it was in a bar), which at the time was equivalent to a couple of dollars. I asked him how it was possible, and he said casually... "Oh its kidnapped Russian girls". My mouth dropped open and I asked the guy "What about the police?"... he replied "Oh yeah, the police go there too...".
No joke. Hard to fight the sex trade when corruption is rampant.
Anyways, seems I went on for a bit :) Hope this was of some use to you.

Well the young girls that need the money hang around the streets where there are strip bars and so on, where men are loitering about looking for pleasure.
Also they hang around places where truck drivers take breaks. As weird as it may seem, the truck drivers are looking for pleasure too while they are on long trips.
Sometimes they are young girls who are offered jobs so they go with the people and then they are forced to have sex with whoever wants it. They can't escape or they'll be killed.
I did a project on this in school some time ago, so I don't really remember much.
Hope this helped a bit.
