Why is surrogate mother is a big no no in China?
Abortions are legal for women above 18 and the women don't need to get permission from any man in her life period. However, if the girl is under 18 yrs of age, she must be accompanied by an adult family member to sign off on that decision.
As for the reason why surrogacy is banned in China. One of the reasonings stem from the previous State government mandated One Child policy that's no longer in effect since 2016. The main rational is ethical issues.

It's a legal no no but stigma is fading very very quickly because a lot of young women who otherwise want children just can't handle the pain and damage to both their bodies and careers. Some have spent their youths chasing careers and now in their late 30's to early/mid 40's, they find that their bodies can no longer do it... however, their bank accounts can! Some are even seeing it as a status symbol since rich people go abroad and pay massive sums to do it.
The ethical issue is not with surrogacy itself but with what might be done by unethical groups if surrogacy were allowed. There is concern that they may coerce poor rural women into doing it while keeping the lion's share of the profits with the handlers which is basically not too far from a human trafficking concern. But if well-regulated to ensure that the surrogate mothers are properly paid and give informed consent, there is nothing unethical and it could be a significant boon to China's birth rate. That's why there is a push in the CCP to find a way to achieve this and legalize surrogacy.
Might be better to wait for artificial womb.

That's perfection if they can get it to reliably work and be affordable to the middle class but we are very very far from that. Surrogacy is the best we have now and it's very affordable if you pick the right country to do it in but it's not sure-fire as there is significant failure rate, and as I recently found out, picking the right doctor, even when they're 3 doors down from each other in the same institute, makes all the difference between a joyously smooth experience with consecutive successes and endless frustration and failure.

They were planning to take a lot of money and then flee China, through exploiting a loophole in the law.
But the Chinese authorities ofc found out about it, and then just directly arrested them (on some other charges).
