I live in China and have done for some years, your story is a mish mash of old news and gross innacuracy. The Chinese in general treat children far better than many western countries. The one child policy applied to the Hahn people only and was designed to stop them swamping the minority ethnic groups. Now that policy is being reversed. What is the moral difference between designer babies in China versus the USA? I would have thought it repugnant in any society but the author only choses to criticise China, ditto to abortion. If you really want to find out what goes on here come and visit, you will be pleasantly surprised. Demonisation of the unknown is a poor way to build understanding or peace. It seems that this author has allowed prejudice to get in the way of factual research, and hands down to all the old innacuracies in a new binder
