Submission + - Boys to Girls ratio exceeds 120:100 in China (sina.com)
hackingbear writes: "Surveys in China show that boys-to-girls ratio exceeds the alarming 120:100 in the country.
The number of males in China at marriage age is 18 million more than that of females due to a long period of high sex birth ratio since the 1980s, according to the country's family planning authorities.
The sex ratio at birth in rural areas is 122.85:100, higher than the national average of 119.58:100, as compared with the normal sex ratio of 103 to 107:100, according to Zhang Weiqing, National Population and Family Planning Commission director.
This is, of course, the result of the One-Child Policy mixing with the must-male-offspring-or-damned-by-ancestors heritage (which is the main cause of the Policy was needed.)The sex ratio at birth in rural areas is 122.85:100, higher than the national average of 119.58:100, as compared with the normal sex ratio of 103 to 107:100, according to Zhang Weiqing, National Population and Family Planning Commission director.
China will continue to crack down on illegal prenatal sex selection and will try to help people discard traditional ideas of a preference for boys...
And of course, as usual, whatever the laws say people will find a way to get around. They will continue to abort girl fetuses until they get a boy."
