China to control sex ratio of newborns

The world-wide ratio for boys to girls is 102 boys for every 100 girls born. In China the situation is much worse, having 115 boys born for every 100 girls.  To help combat this the Chinese authorities are going to launch a new campaign to stop gender exams and illegal abortions.  In China, there is a high demand for males who can support the family.  But by having males heavily outnumber females, reproduction becomes an issue and could lead to the decline in the Chinese population. By cracking down on gender exams and illegal abortions, hopefully the ratio can be re-balanced.
