By the year 2020, there will be 30 million more men than women of marriageable age in this giant empire, so large and so different (its current population is 1,336,410,000) that it often feels more like a separate planet than just another country. Nothing like this has ever happened to any civilisation before.
The nearest we can come to it is the sad shortage of men after the First World War in Britain, France, Russia and Germany, and the many women denied the chance of family life and motherh.
It is possible that the effects of that imbalance are still with us, in the shape of the radical feminist movement which found ready recruits among the husbandless teachers and other professionals of the Twenties and Thirties.
All kinds of speculation is now seething about what might happen; a war to cull the surplus males, a rise in crime, a huge expansion in the prostitution that is already a major industry in every Chinese city, a rise in homosexuality.

Pretty amazing but predictable!
To many men, not enough women is not a good thing:

I cannot stand China - everything they do and everything they are.
They are like robots.
OK, they abort their girls - NOT OK!!!
OK, they are going to take over the world - NOT OKAY!!!!
The Chinese are robots and they are going to take over the planet because they will end up richer than everyone else.
Don't worry about UFOs, worry about the Chinese nation.

No fascist police force takes these women to the clinic and holds their legs open for the operation.

A few years ago the Autralian government sent an 8 month pregnant woman back to china. She was trying to claim refugee status on the grounds that they would force her to have an abortion but was denied. The baby was of course aborted so yeah it does happen.

I was refering to a wide-spread practice which happens routinely. Like penalties for thievery, etcetera. Like I said, I completely agree that the favouring of males over females is messed up...but again I re-iterate that this is not a blanket approach, in which all women are rounded up at the first sign of morning sickness to have their fetuses gender classified and removed should the result show an undesirable
Australia sent the woman back to have an abortion...that opens up a whole other can of worms. Again I say, people in every western nation have their daughters and sons aborted daily. I grow exceedingly tired of the "China are evil ahhh!" gag.

A truly screwed up policy that dictates males over females sure...but you may want to apply the measure to where you live before ranting about the evil socialist robots coming to a town near you to slaughter your unborn. What ridiculous-ness.
