Great article about the situation in China:
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. …
…And in every cheerful classroom there was a slightly sinister shortage of girls, as if we had wandered into some sort of science fiction fantasy.
The whole article is filled with interesting quotes, eye witness accounts of the problem. Warning: It’s very disturbing. But all the more reason to know and learn. I do wonder why we don’t talk about this more.

Michael Ignatief would be a good person to ask.

I think we don’t talk about this more as it seems to be the policy in North America to promote population control in countries like China and India, regardless of the methods. It may seem futuristic/conspiracy theorized to think that there are ‘methods’ being promoted to keep populations down (I’m think now of the book ‘The Wanting Seed’), but I can’t think of another reason for western governments to ignore the gendercide.
