[Breitbart] China’s use of forced abortions and sterilizations to weed out undesirable elements in the population is nothing new, declares a leading human rights expert, but reflects policies that go back 100 years."The practice of eugenics has been part of the debate on population control since Margaret Sanger’s visit to China in 1922," Reggie Littlejohn, a China expert and president of Women’s Rights Without Frontiers, told Breitbart News Thursday.
"The language of ’improving the quality of the population’ is not new," Ms. Littlejohn said in response to a Breitbart News story highlighting recent revelations that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is doubling down on its eugenic goal of breeding superior subjects.
The CCP has reportedly been carrying out a "systematic campaign" of forced abortions, sterilizations, and implantations of IUDs on Uyghurs and other minorities to lessen their numbers while simultaneously incentivizing procreation among the Han Chinese, the dominant ethnic group in China.
"I have long been concerned about the eugenic overtones of this language," Littlejohn said, noting that the CCP has no scruples about dictating who is allowed to procreate and under what circumstances.
