Wow, read the part at the bottom about the Romans. This has obviously happened before. Someone has said "history repeats itself."

I dare say that the chinese may suggest that this mob of christians should be examining the needs of the US and not bother trying to change China. Missionaries have a very poor success rate in China.

In many parts of the world, having a son is integral
            to one's future financial and social wellbeing. Recent articles have tried to shed light on the problem in India – putting
            much blame on the ultrasound machines women use to determine the sex of their unborn children in order to decide whether they
            should abort a female fetus.

            When the government only allows one child, it puts immense pressure on Chinese parents to determine the sex of their child
            in the womb, and terminate the pregnancy if it is a girl.
