China: The Truth About China’s Missing Daughters
National Review – June 01, 2016
What Johnson and her research associates found, however, as they interviewed thousands of Chinese families, was that this picture was far from complete. Talking to rural Chinese parents who relinquished daughters, other rural families who took those daughters in, and a third, almost entirely unrecognized category of parents — those who hid over-quota, unregistered children from population control officials — Johnson learned that few families in the region used the expression “more sons, more happiness” that was supposedly typical of Chinese son preference.
