China's Brutal One-Child Policy

The other day, the New York Times, ran this guest op-ed by Ma Jian, called "China's Brutal One-Child Policy."  It's difficult, but important reading (as is this year-old Economist piece.) It is important that respected and respectable voices (I'm looking at you, Melinda Gates and Thomas Friedman) not shy away from speaking up and speaking the truth about this policy, and not rationalize, euphemize, or look the other way.
