Everyone knows that China is incredibly overpopulated, and they have implemented certain incentive to slow down the issue. One of them is a "one child per family" type thing, if a family only has one child, they'll be able to get benefits from the government and a lot of help from their employers.
Any more children and they'll be left in the cold, so basically most families only pop out one sprog. However, the Chinese are full of pride and feel their family name should continue through the years, meaning having a girl is useless to them.
Unfortuanatly, this means abandoned children and people being sold.

Surely China should implement systems to prevent this issue, it's gone on too long now.

I remember an horrific picture in the papers a while back of a new born baby girl that had been killed and dumped in the gutter in the street and people just walked past like it was a piece of rubbish.
That was around the time the Chinese President / Prime Minister / Dictator / Leader / Kn*bhead came on a state visit to the UK and became the Queens bestest buddy..........

Also girls are no good for manual labour, which represents a huge part of their economy.
Yes, there already is.
I see a problem, every family wants a boy, gets rid of any girls. Wont there soon be a shortage of girls?
The phrase 'Surely China should ...' can pretty much always be answered in the same way: yes, yes they should, but they won't.

What would you suggest? In a way they do, it is a punishable offense.

To be honest, it's better than dumping the baby in a bin, or in the street, which is quite a common practice over there.
