The Communist People’s Republic of China (PRC) today spoke out in support of its role as a “signatory” to the November 20, 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child, a day after it arrested a human rights activist who gave testimony to the U.S. Congress on November 10, 2009 on the role of the Communist government in continuing forced and coercive abortions in Communist China.

While the PRC’s Xinhua called for Chinese “people to offer their love to all children,” just 10 days earlier at the U.S. House of Representatives, human right activists spoke on the horrific and systemic practice of forced abortion of babies and dehumanization of women by the People’s Republic of China.  (You can read their testimony here.)

In Washington DC, on November 10, human rights activists testified to Communist China’s pride in “preventing 400 million births,” including the use of forced abortion.  Human rights activists also spoke of the “abortion, abandonment, and infanticide of baby girls” due to Communist pressures and the “burgeoning black market in stolen children – 70,000 a year” created by Communist China’s official policies.

They described how women’s babies were treated like refuse.  They described how Communist Chinese gynecologists and obstetricians discussed infanticide after induced labor.  Women’s Rights without Frontiers’ Reggie Littlejohn provided a translation of the Communist Chinese web site discussions on infanticide, which are still online in Mandarin Chinese.

Such discussion of methods included:
— Damohuyang: posted “Over 90% of 35-week infants died under induced labor. Most of them died of skull puncture.”  “Damohuyang” further described that some that were alive “would be left in trashcans. Some of them could still live for one to two days.”
— Xuexia: “Actually you should have punctured the fetus’ skull. By doing this there will be less damage and also you won’t get an infant born alive.”

Another women testified on November 10, 2009 on Captiol Hill how the Communist Chinese doctors forcibly removed and mutilated her baby from her womb.

The Communist Chinese government’s adoption of the Convention on Children’s Rights was based on the caveat that the Communist government “interprets the Convention as applicable only following a live birth.”

Others testified to how Communist Chinese policies had led to the development of a culture of abandoning those children that the Communist government prohibited, for fear of retribution.

Yet the Communist Chinese government today baldly and unashamedly uses the 20th anniversary of the Convention on Children’s Rights to claim its “love” of children.

For the real love of children, those of us Responsible for Equality And Liberty must condemn the inhuman and horrific violence against babies that has been rationalized by the Communist government and the astounding abuse of children in that Communist country.

The June 2009 U.S. State Department report on human trafficking states that “The People’s Republic of China (PRC) is a source, transit, and destination country for men, women, and children trafficked for the purposes of forced labor and sexual exploitation.”  According to this report, this includes the operation of an  “extensive child forced labor network” in one province “with thousands of children as young as seven years old.”  Earlier Congressional testimony on the Communist Chinese Laogai concentration camps deaths have included children and infants.

Communist China, Communist North Korea, and Communist Vietnam are some of the top offenders in human trafficking in the world, including trafficking of children.
