Other info synthesized by me.
The one child policy in China is supposedly a "temporary measure." "The policy limits couples to one child. Fines, pressures to abort a pregnancy, and even forced sterilization accompanied second or subsequent pregnancies." People have "despised" having female children because the males apparently can take care of themselves when their older.
This makes the people in China lose their self respect because they can only have one child. They have to decide between a male or a female child. They only get one chance for a child and it puts a lot of pressure on them to make sure everything goes "perfectly."
