China One Child Policy to Stay

China’s one child policy will remain unaltered during the 12th Five Year Plan period (2011-2015), said a Chinese official, refuting rumors of a relaxation in the family planning measure, NFDaily.cn reported Friday.

The policy has been dogged with controversy recently in the country where the sizzling economy is increasingly laden by an aging population and foreseeable shortage of labor forces.

China’s one child policy causing school aged children to stress

China’s one child policy means many children grow up with their parents and two sets of grandparents focusing exclusively on them, driving them to succeed in a nation of 1.3bn people where gaining entry to universities, government jobs and graduate careers is highly competitive.

Even among young children, mountains of homework and long hours of extra-curricular activities are not uncommon as China’s new middle classes strive to give their only children an edge over their playground rivals.

“The aspirations of many parents, who had limited educational opportunities themselves are now invested in their only children,” the study said.

Chinese Man Seeks US Asylum Under the United Nations Convention Against Torture

CHANG HAO LIN-LIN v. ATTORNEY GENERAL OF U.S.

CHANG HAO LIN-LIN, Petitioner,
v.
ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES, Respondent.

No. 08-1180.

United States Court of Appeals, Third Circuit.

Submitted Pursuant to Third Circuit LAR 34.1(a) January 5, 2010.

Opinion filed: January 13, 2010.

Before: AMBRO, CHAGARES and ALDISERT, Circuit Judges.

NOT PRECEDENTIAL

OPINION

PER CURIAM.

Chang Hao Lin-Lin petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”). For the reasons below, we will deny the petition for review.

Lin-Lin, a native of China, entered the United States in December 2004. He was charged as removable as an alien who entered without being admitted or paroled. See Immigration and Nationality Act (“INA”) § 212(a)(6)(A)(i) [8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)(6)(A)(i)]. He conceded removability and applied for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the United Nations Convention Against Torture (“CAT”).

Specifically, he argued that as the spouse of a woman who had been forced to have an IUD inserted and undergo two abortions, he qualified as a refugee under the Act. Following both abortions, Lin-Lin became “angry” and “extremely upset,” and went to the family planning office to protest. The first time, Lin-Lin “quarreled” with the family planning authorities.

As a result, he was detained for two days and “beaten up,” resulting in leg “injur[ies] and bleeding.” Lin-Lin went to his village doctor, who treated him with medicine. After learning of his wife’s second forced abortion, Lin-Lin returned to the family planning office and was again “beat[en] . . . up badly.” He also had to pay fines totaling 8000 RMB. Read more

Don’t follow China’s example

Holding China up as an example of how a country can control its population is a poor model.

It is well documented that women who dare to “choose” carrying a second child to term, are ostracized, coerced and have been made to stay in waiting rooms until they decide to go through with terminating their pregnancies. Read more

One Child Policy: The Case For Killing Junior

The Case For Killing Junior: One Child PolicyAside from the most important environmental issues, population control has also been discussed at the Copenhagen climate summit. More and more governments are looking into a policy similar to that of China (a policy according to which a family is only allowed to have one child) as a possible solution to problems such as overpopulation.

We do not hear too much about China here in the states and reports on this one child policy. So, I thought I would provide you all with some research links, facts and the cold reality of how China treats humans

In 1994, the UK Telegraph an article reported the truth:
