Many baby girls from China are being adopted throughout the world, which has made an interesting dynamic in China, socially, because the guys are sorta' at the mercy of women now, and because of that, women are starting to see a gain towards class equity in China (this applying in the cities, suburban areas - in the countryside, women haven't gained the bonuses of the progressive movement). Disabled children are seen as lesser as well, and if they manage to live beyond infancy they're often institutionalised. In fact, recently I had read an article about the Chinese information brochure for the Paralympics, and they used the term (until recently) 'Useless' as their word for 'disabled'....their brochure still is rather awkward sounding.
