<br/><br/> "The People's Republic of China's trade surplus with the United States approached $100 billion in fiscal year 2002. But the most significant and permanent Chinese export to the United States is not counted in dollars: Over the last decade, more than 30,000 Chinese children, the vast majority of them girls, have been adopted by American parents....There is a uniquely cruel reality behind the Chinese adoptions. These girls do not need to be adopted because of poverty. Rather, they have been made expendable by deliberate government policy: the 'one child' law maintained by the Chinese Communist Party which limits Chinese couples to a single baby in order to force population reduction." (AMERICAN ENTERPRISE) The author reveals that "many foreign governments have simply decided to turn a blind eye" to China's coercive one-child policy and suggests that Americans should "be concerned with policies that warp Chinese lives in ways that any American would find profoundly objectionable in his or her own life."
