盗抢孩子并不是中国政府独生子女政策的法定组成部分,但却是其恶果之一。这一政策侵犯父母和准父母的基本人权,破坏家庭,打乱代际平衡。人们如此厌恶它,即使在中国国内它也正成为一个政治问题而受到批评。人口过亿的广东省正请求放宽独生子女政策,这在省级层面尚属首次。

千里之行始于足下
Chinese officials are fiercely attached to the one-child policy. They attribute to it almost everydrop in fertility and every averted birth: some 400m more people, they claim, would have beenborn without it. This is patent nonsense. Chinese fertility was falling for decades before theone-child policy took effect in 1979. Fertility has gone down almost as far and as fast withoutcoercion in neighbouring countries, including those with large Chinese populations. The spreadof birth control and a desire for smaller families tend to accompany economic growth anddevelopment almost everywhere.
中国官员们不遗余力地严格奉行独生子女政策。生育率有一点下降,出生人数有一点减少,他们都要归功于独生子女政策:他们宣称,要是不实行独生子女政策中国要多生出4亿人。这显然是无稽之谈。中国1979年实行计划生育前,生育率就已持续下降了几十年。中国的邻国,包括那些有大量华人的国家,没有采取过强制措施,生育率下降的速度及程度也和中国差不多。经济增长、社会发展与越来越多的人节制生育、希望家庭规模小些,二者之间通常是相关的,世界各地大体上一样。
