Linyi City, Shandong Province, China. \u00a0 On the night of March 21, 2011, near the home of blind activist Chen Guangcheng, a Family Planning Official stabbed a young man to death while he was trying to protect his father from a beating.\u00a0 Family Planning Officials entered the home of Mr. Xu Shuaishuai looking for his sister to seize her for a forced sterilization.\u00a0 When they could not find Mr. Xu\u2019s sister, they beat and injured his father.\u00a0 When Mr. Xu tried to defend his father, one of the Family Planning Officials stabbed Mr. Xu in the heart twice with a long knife.\u00a0 Mr. Xu died on the way to the hospital.<\/p>\n
Local government authorities have not apologized to the family of Mr. Xu, nor have they arrested the murderer.\u00a0 The local news agencies have declined to report on the murder.\u00a0 A full translation of the Boxun report is below.<\/p>\n
Women\u2019s Rights Without Frontiers extends its condolences to the family of Mr. Xu.\u00a0 We also forcefully condemn this atrocious crime.\u00a0 We demand that the Chinese Communist Party bring the family planning murderer and his accomplices at the Family Planning Office to swift justice.<\/p>\n
The murder of Mr. Xu underscores the brutality of the coercive enforcement of China\u2019s One Child Policy.\u00a0 The first level of coercion is directed against the women themselves.\u00a0 In this case the Family Planning Officials came to Mr. Xu\u2019s home to seize his sister for a forced sterilization.\u00a0 The violence, however, extends to family members, including siblings, parents and even elderly grandparents.<\/p>\n
The fact that no action is being taken against the family planning murderer demonstrates one of two things:\u00a0 either the Chinese Communist Party sanctions murder to enforce its One Child Policy, or the CCP has lost control of its Family Planning Officials and is unable to bring the murderer to justice.<\/p>\n
This family planning murder is a shocking and extreme example of the way in which the CCP uses the seemingly innocuous \u201cOne Child Policy\u201d to terrorize the people of China, but every day coercive family planning presses fear into the hearts of the Chinese people.\u00a0 Women who become pregnant without a birth permit — illegally pregnant \u2013 are terrified of discovery and forced abortion.\u00a0 Fathers feel helpless to protect their wives and children.\u00a0 Paid informants \u2013 friends, neighbors, co-workers — tear down trust in Chinese society.\u00a0 Family members can be detained and tortured.<\/p>\n
The One Child Policy, moreover, is causing a demographic disaster for the nation of China and it makes no sense to continue it.\u00a0 Because of the traditional preference for boys, girls are disproportionately aborted.\u00a0 This \u201cgendercide\u201d has given rise to a critical gender imbalance:\u00a0 there are now an estimated 37 million more men than women in China.\u00a0 Thirty seven million men who will never marry is an irresistible, driving force behind sexual slavery, not only in China but in the surrounding countries as well.\u00a0 And in the year 2030, China\u2019s retirees will overtake the ability of the diminished youthful population to support it.\u00a0 China has no social security and no effective plan to deal with this \u201csenior tsunami.\u201d\u00a0 Because of the lack of young workers, China is no longer a source of inexpensive labor and is losing foreign investment to other nations.\u00a0 See, e.g.,<\/em> \u201cChina\u2019s Workforce Dries Up,\u201d http:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/news\/worldnews\/asia\/china\/8409513\/Chinas-workforce-dries-up.html<\/a>, March 30, 2011.<\/p>\n The CCP instituted the One Child Policy in 1980 to enhance China\u2019s economic prosperity.\u00a0 Ironically, this same Policy has become China\u2019s economic death sentence.\u00a0 Why, then, does the CCP insist on keeping this policy long after it has served its purpose?\u00a0 Could it be that the purpose of the One Child Policy is no longer to control the size of the population, but rather to keep a tight fist on social and political control?\u00a0\u00a0 Could it be that the One Child Policy not only results in terrorizing the population, but in fact instilling terror has become its very purpose?<\/p>\n How does this affect us?\u00a0 We (the people of the United States, England, and other nations) are helping finance the infrastructure used in coercive family planning in China.\u00a0 The international community funds UNFPA, United Nations Family Planning Fund, as well as IPPF, the International Planned Parenthood Federation, and Marie Stopes International.\u00a0 These organizations are operative \u201cabortion providers\u201d in China.\u00a0 In 2008, then Secretary of State Colin Powell found that UNFPA was complicit in coercive family planning in China.\u00a0 And the IPPF website openly declares, \u201cThe China Family Planning<\/acronym> Association (CFPA) plays a very important role in China’s family planning<\/acronym> programme. \u00a0It supports the present family planning<\/acronym> policy of the government, which is appropriate for the present national situation . . .\u201d http:\/\/www.ippf.org\/en\/Where\/cn.htm<\/a>.\u00a0 Meanwhile, the website for Marie Stopes International, lists as \u201cmajor partners\u201d the Family Planning Commissions of several provinces in China. http:\/\/www.mariestopes.org\/Where_we_work\/Countries\/China.aspx<\/a><\/p>\n Why are we financing the infrastructure of coercive family planning and forced abortion in China with taxpayer money?<\/p>\n To sign a petition against forced abortion and sexual slavery in China, click here. http:\/\/www.womensrightswithoutfrontiers.org\/index.php?nav=sign_our_petition<\/a><\/p>\n Translation of the report published on Boxun<\/span>:<\/p>\n http:\/\/boxun.com\/news\/gb\/china\/2011\/03\/201103272151.shtml<\/a><\/p>\n Linyi County, Shangdong Province, China.\u00a0 About 7:00 p.m. on the evening of March 21, 2011, Family Planning Officials from Jiuqu Town, Hedong District, Linyi County, Shangdong province, together with the women\u2019s director of Suyubu village of Jiuqu town \u2013a total of more than 10 people — came to the home of Mr. Xu Shuaishuai (the victim) in Xiao Xujia Zhanzi Village in Taiping Town of Hedong District.\u00a0 They arrived to coerce the sister of Xu Shuaishuai to be forcibly sterilized.<\/em><\/p>\n When the Family Planning Officials could not find the sister of Xu Shuaishuai, they initiated an argument with the father of Xu Shuaishuai and they began to beat him.\u00a0 When Mr. Xu Shuaishuai saw his father being beaten and injured, he came out and tried to stop the beating.\u00a0 Suddenly, one of the Family Planning Officials stabbed Mr. Xu Shuaishuai twice in the heart with a long knife.\u00a0\u00a0Mr. Xu Shuanishuai immediately fell unto the ground, bleeding.\u00a0 He died on the way to the hospital.<\/em><\/p>\n News of this incident immediately spread:\u00a0 the local Family Planning Officials illegally went to the home of a local famer and viciously murdered an innocent young man who tried to protect his father in his own home.\u00a0 The local farmers protested and strongly condemned this action.
