The Chinese Communist Party denies that it forces women to abort wanted pregnancies or to be sterilized. This is propaganda. The breaking story—Population and Family Planning Bureau has detained 1,300 people in a campaign to sterilize nearly 10,000 people in the city of Puning, Guangdong Province—proves it.

A courageous investigative report by the Nanfang Countryside Daily gives us a rare glimpse into the brutal inner workings of China’s One-Child Policy. The Puning population control authorities have detained parents—as well as other family members, such as elderly grandparents—for refusing the sterilization procedures.
