In a National Public Radio (NPR) interview, Wei Linrong, of Guangxi, China, discussed how her second pregnancy was forcibly terminated under Southwest China’s “one-child policy.” Wei is among dozens of other similar victims uncovered by NPR investigators in China.
This appalling situation violates human rights and is being covered up by the Chinese government. It is also the topic of James Mann’s new book, “The China Fantasy.” Apparently, the Chinese people have more choices in coffee brands and flavors, than real life situations.
A few weeks ago, Liane Yage, a pastor in China’s Guangxi province and his wife, Wei Linrong, were expecting their second child. Since enforcement of China’s infamous “one-child policy” has reportedly become more lax, they expected to get away with paying a fine—a small price for having a second child.
That’s not what happened. On April 16, officials invaded their home and told Wei that she must have an abortion, which, as a Christian, she refused. Officials made it clear that if she did not go voluntarily, they would carry her to the hospital.
