China. The Unique Child.
=
Since 1979, the Chinese government has enforced
the "one family one child policy".
Because the country population had exploded to
one milliard three millions and demography must
be stopped.
If fines and propaganda do not work, women may be
forced to have an abortion and thousands of
unwanted little girls are abandoned in
orphanages.
After
20 years, the policy has taken a move since 1998:
the unique child is still highly "recommanded" in
big cities, and a second child is tolerated in
rural areas if the first child is a
girl...
