Financial Times, on March 14 the Chinese Health Ministry reported the following statistics for its family planning practices since 1971:



-- 336 million abortions performed;



-- 196 million sterilizations conducted;



-- 403 million intrauterine devices inserted.



China, the world's most populous country, first instituted limits on population growth in 1971 and established its "one-child" population control program in 1979.



What It Means: The story has been shockingly underreported considering what China has admitted: Since 1971, the country has carried out the largest single slaughter of human beings in the history of the world.



To put the numbers in perspective, the 336 million deaths in China are:



• More than the entire population of the world at the time of the Crusades (c. 1100 AD).



• Equal to the entire combined populations of the United States and Australia.



• More deaths than were caused by (in millions): the Bubonic Plague in Europe (100), the Great Chinese Famine (45), the 1918 Influenza Pandemic (40), the HIV/AIDS pandemic (25), the Holocaust (13), the Soviet famine of 1932-1933 (8), the Russian famine of 1921 (3), and the American Civil War (0.80).



• More than all the people killed in the 10 ten deadliest wars in human history (Based on highest estimates (in millions): World War II (72), World War I (65), Mongol Conquest (60), An Lushan Rebellion (36), Taiping Rebellion (30), Qing Dynasty conquest of the Ming Dynasty (25), Conquests of Timur (20), Dungan Revolt (12), Russian Civil War (9), Second Congo War (5.4))



• More than all the children that will be born in the world over the next ten years.



No comparisons, however, can truly help us to understand the scale of these 336 million deaths—and that is in a single country. The magnitude of the crime is incomprehensible to the human imagination.

If they didn't then wouldn't all China be in a famine  of worse proportions than the infamous Great Leap Foreword of 1969-1962 ? China's population might be about two billion people if they didn't do this.

I think our number here in the states is 50 million since 1973, and we have no policy of one child.

Percentage wise it's worse here killing babies, and here they usually do it because of irresponsible behavior calling it a woman's right.  

Not trying to make it an argument against, or for, but people being frivolous shouldn't make it a right when the act was a right.

If you don't want kids wear protection, or snip, and clip is all I have to say.

Frost

Yeah that is an issue, and the way people wanted boys is such a shame.

Many little girls was abandoned and died from that as well as some boys because fines.



This just makes me cry  :(

Korea doesn't have an intrusive one-child policy, but there is still a preference for boys. Aborting unborn baby girls is not uncommon among the wealthy.
