Summary and Response #2
Imbalance

In Xinhua General News Service’s article “China vows to halt growing gender imbalance,” the author critiques the new disposition about abortion and test of sex. The Chinese government declares that if people try an abortion because they want to select the sex or use illegal sex testing, the government will punish them. That means medical institutions will be guarded from the government. One of the reasons is that Chinese people have an imbalance sex ratio. Moreover, the government said this imbalance would affect social balance. Then they are trying three ideas, which are assistance for people with girl-only families, people who marriage late, and people who bear children at an advanced age. However, the government said that we impose penalties on offender families too. They will keep looking for better family planning service. Moreover, they respect old people, and they will make better facilities for them. If young people misuse old people, they will be punished by government.

I agree with this author, because the author completely gets the Chinese population problems, and with accuracy suggests the answers; especially, I strongly agree with those three points, which are punishment for illegal testing, assistance for wider families, which means that in the past, the Chinese government helped just a few families, who had one boy child; however, they help other families, who have girl child too; and establishment of person of advanced age’s social disposition, because they treasure human rights. I think those ideas can help China in the future, because those ideas grasp the most important points faultlessly.

First, the Chinese government declares that they do not allow choosing sex through abortion, and control unborn baby gender testing, because the government does not want any more sexual imbalanced society. China has too many boys, because Chinese people have a limit such that usually people cannot have more than two children; however, people care about sex. China has imbalance sex; therefore, people have different opinions about it. Males and females do not have different on the human rights, so we must respect both.

Second, in the past, many people could not take help from the government; however, now they can get assistance, because the government moderated qualifications. They may not notice, but those qualifications have changed. However, they changed, because China has a new problem, which is imbalance sex. First, they wanted to decrease the berth rate, however, this action created a new problem, which was that people did not want to get the new girl baby. This assistance system can help many children. And this idea can emphasize human rights.

Finally, people must protect old people, especially. Many countries will became aging societies, however, we must not treat old people as obstacles, because they have human rights. Moreover, we must respect for them, because they tried hard to make a better world. We must admit their efforts. The Chinese government’s idea, which they establish better facilities, is a great idea.

In conclusion, many people argue whether the only child policy was good or bad; however, it is not very important, because it is just one of the many solutions, which means that China has other ways too. This article suggested the other ways. I strongly agree we should keep trying assistance, punishment, and a foundation of helping old people. Moreover, usually people suggest who will take responsibility; however, those articles see the future. I think it is one of the most important things. If we can forget about the future, those problems will become fixed easily; however, we must not forget the future, because our children will take over anything from us. We have to establish the future, which are those three subjects.
