Population Research Institute President Steve Mosher, China expert and author of several books, will testify before a House subcommittee about China. Mosher who has lived in China will talk about the systematic human rights abuses that take place under the Communist government’s coercive population control program.
Chinese women are forced to abort their children and are sterilized by the thousands every year. The program mandates a maximum of one or two children for most Chinese families. Because sons are favored in China, girls are often aborted so their parents can try again for a boy without exceeding their legal quota of children. PRI estimates by 2020, up to 15% of young Chinese men will be unable to find brides.
The hearing of the House International Relations Subcommittee on Africa, Global Human Rights and International Operations is called “Human Rights in China: Improving or Deteriorating Conditions?” and will be chaired by Rep. Christopher Smith (R.-N.J.).
