中共中央总书记 胡锦涛 阁下
中国北京市中南海
尊敬的胡锦涛主席：
非常荣幸继2007年1月24日之后再给您写信。读过2007年1月23日CNN.com国际新闻“中国固守计划生育政策”(http://edition.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/asiapcf/01/23/china.population.ap/index.html)后，我想祝贺中国政府实行这一政策。我打印这个新闻附在这封信里了。中国政府是在这个世界上积极对应人口过剩问题的唯一一个政府。就像对许多事件一直表明过我的支持态度一样，我强力支持中国的计划生育政策。
有关中国在这一问题上对应梵蒂冈基督教会的可恶影响方面，我希望能助一臂之力。梵蒂冈积极反对任何一种对生育的调整，这将会给中国带来严重的后果。所以我强烈希望中国政府不与梵蒂冈恢复关系。梵蒂冈会促使中国人民尽量多生子女来对抗中国政府明智的计划生育政策。而且，我想在此指责几位中国一些高官。因为他们暗地里屈服于梵蒂冈，在所有方面在镇压支持中国政府的中国雷尔利安运动会员。
我做好了随时访问中国与中国政府首脑们会面的准备，以表明我有多么支持中国政府的政策。而且我希望公开发表以下有关我们对中国所有政策的支持。
中国的权利：
破坏敌对的人造卫星的权利
禁止破坏中国传统的西方影响的权利
实行计划生育政策对应人口过剩问题的权利
反对美帝国主义者支配世界的权利
其他
我希望得到中国政府的协助令联合国终止使用基督教的日历，改用以联合国建立年为元年的无神论的日历。
强力支持中国政府。 国际雷尔利安运动创始人兼会长

“中国固守计划生育政策” China sticking to one-child policy
http://edition.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/asiapcf/01/23/china.population.ap/index.html
POSTED: 0401 GMT (1201 HKT), January 23, 2007
BEIJING, China (AP) -- China will not loosen its one-child policy, despite a top family planning official's acknowledgment on Tuesday that it was partly to blame for a worsening problem of too many boy babies and not enough girls in the world's most populous nation.
In 2005, some 118 boys were born in China for every 100 girls. In some regions, the figure has hit 130 boys for every 100 girls; the average for industrialized countries is between 104 and 107 boys for every 100 girls.
Zhang Weiqing, minister of the National Population and Family Planning Commission, said the government is committed to solving gender imbalance within 10 to 15 years with education campaigns, punishments for sex-selective abortions and rewards -- like retirement pensions -- for parents who have girls.
"This problem is a reality of country life in China," said Zhang. "We have a 2,000-year feudal history that considered men superior to women, that gave boys the right to carry on the family name and allowed men to be emperors while women could not."
He called gender imbalance "a very serious challenge for China."
Bates Gill of the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington said pension benefits would help, but other financial incentives like school fees for girls, would also need to be included. He also thought the effects of such projects would take several years before families learned they could trust the government to deliver on their promises.
Zhang said China's basic policy -- in effect since the late 1970s -- was reviewed and renewed without change last month. The policy limits urban couples to one child and rural families to two to control the population and conserve natural resources. Beijing says it has helped prevent 400 million births and has aided the nation's rapid economic development.
Dropping restrictions on childbearing now would risk a population surge as a baby boomer generation born in the early 1980s becomes ready to start families, Zhang said. Another factor in the government's decision is that many migrant workers living in cities have been evading restrictions and having two or more children, he said.
China has about 1.3 billion people -- 20 percent of the global total. The government has pledged to keep the population under 1.36 billion by 2010 and under 1.45 billion by 2020, Zhang said.
Susan Greenhalgh, professor of anthropology at the University of California Irvine, said her research shows Chinese "couples' childbearing preferences have changed" since the imposition of the one-child policy, and many now say they would only choose to have one child.
The policy and easy availability of sonogram technology to determine fetal gender have prompted many families to abort girls, and other couples give up girls for adoption abroad so they can try for a son.
The United States is the No. 1 destination for Chinese children adopted abroad. China recently imposed new restrictions on foreign adoptions, barring applicants who are unmarried, obese, over 50 or who take certain medications.
Heather Terry, spokeswoman for Great Wall China Adoptions, said the new restrictions show China is committed to ensuring "only the best" for the girls given up for adoption.
China is "approaching [adoption], the way they approached their population problem: We need to tighten up a bit to get this under control," said Terry, whose agency is one of the largest in the U.S.that organizes adoptions from China.
Greenhalgh said that though sex selection was a problem in the past, "people's gender preferences are shifting where girls are at least as desirable as sons."
City-dwellers, most of whom will receive pensions upon retirement, depend less on their children for financial support, Greenhalgh said, so they are happy to have girls, whom they often consider better providers of emotional care late in life.
While popularly referred to as China's "one-child policy," the rule limits only 36 percent of the population to having one child, said Wang Guoqing, the family planning commission's vice director.
Most people, or 53 percent, are allowed to have a second child if their first is a girl. Poor farmers with a two-child limit account for nearly 10 percent of the population, while ethnic minorities -- who are allowed to have two or more children -- make up 1.6 percent of the total.
The complex policy reflects the greatly varied economic and social realities in different regions ofChina, Zhang said.
He said the government has begun studying the impact of a generation of "only children" -- since the late 1970s, nearly 100 million children have been born who will never have siblings.
"China's only boys and girls are certainly not as scary as some people say, like those who call them 'little emperors' or 'little titans' who can't tolerate authority," Zhang said.
"The majority of them have had a healthy childhood," he said. "You can see for yourself. Young people today are very energetic and creative." In addition, he said, they are likely to be better educated than children from bigger families, because parents need not divide their resources among many children.
"They are much better off than I was, being one of four kids," said Zhang, 62. "I envy them."
