2.  What is China's "One Child" policy?  Why did China institute this policy?  For how many years has it been in effect?  Who is Pan Guiyu?  When did he say China will end the One Child policy?

3.  China says they emphasize rewarding compliance to the One Child policy.  If the Chinese people agreed with the policy, do you think the Chinese government would be rewarding compliance?  Explain your answer.

4.  How has the U.S. under President Bush reacted to China's One Child policy?  How does this differ from President Clinton's stand on the issue?  (For an article condemning the one child policy and explaining President Clinton's beliefs, click here.)
The main reason for supporting China's One Child policy, and other population control methods around the world is that without them, supporters believe that there would be catastrophic consequences from overpopulation.  How does Stephen Moore (in the article linked to) refute this belief?

5.  What is the UNFPA?  Re-read the statement of the UNFPA's director in para. 19.  How would you respond?

6.  How is the one child law generally enforced in China today?  (What happens when a woman becomes pregnant with a second baby?)  Who in China are the victims of forced abortion, forced sterilization and infantacide?  The Chinese government denies this, and proponents of 'population control' ignore it.  How do we know these human rights violations are true?  What should we do about it?

7.  How is China's One Child policy responsible for the death of many baby girls? 

8.  Do you support or oppose China's One Child policy?  How would you refute the argument of people who disagree with you?
