Doctors are working round the clock to sterilize those who disobeyed the one child policy:
In Puning county couples with illegal children and their relatives who apply for permits to build a house are rejected. Illegal children are refused residency registration, a penalty that denies them access to healthcare and education. Authorities have discovered, however, that those methods have less success than rounding up relatives.
I thought there had been a softening of the one child policy. Apparently not.

That would be Beijing you are thinking of. Puning County is another part of the country altogether. The one-child policy varies in it’s details and the strictness with which is it enforced as China tries to maintain an even population growth rate throughout.
Commies never die. Unless you actually kill them.
I am reading Better Ten Graves than One Extra Birth: China’s Systematic Use of Coercion to Meet Population Quotas – written by Laogai Research Foundation, a group led by a fellow called Wu who says that Laogai means gulag. He wants to expose what is going on in China to the rest of the world. He has photos and copies of documents enforcing sterilization and abortions, the picture is very grim.
One child policy doesn’t sound all that terrible until you realise how they achieve it; Wu claims that the ultimate right is the right to reproduce and China has removed that from people, reducing the population to slaves. Pretty convincing statements.
Now Stephen Moser claims that Obama is leaning that way, with his appointment of a science czar who is in favour of population control. The very word “czar” is scary enough. We should be paying attention to this kind of political thought. While this may be fear-mongering, if there is any grain of truth in it, we need to be on the alert.
