I enjoyed reading your elaboration on the effect of the one-child policy implemented by Deng Xiao Ping. Especially how families begin to change their behaviour in terms of choosing the gender of their baby and avoiding female children. While I initially planned to discuss the reproductive politics of China, I had a different approach. I examined the growth of Chinese babies and how China is facing a masculinity crisis. Apparently, the government believe that boys are becoming more and more effeminate where they are physically and emotionally weak. Although gender stereotypes are much more blurred in Western culture, China still remains stereotypical.
