As Hu Jintao speaks of social harmony, a peaceful rise, good-neighborliness,wealth, and the upcoming 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the Communist Party continues to promote its One-Child Policy to control China's population.
The following are pictures and translations of government slogans painted in villages throught China to remind and threaten the people to obey the policy:
Translation: "Let's destroy the homes and take the fortunes of those who have excess births. Let's ruin the families of those who have excess births." (wall of the Laohekou Fiber Glass No. 2 Factory)
Translation: "Better blood flowing like a river than one extra birth."
Translation: "Must take new action for population control this summer."
Translation: "Pregnancy and birth certificate approval!"
Translation:"Abort whether early or late, abort using any method!"
Translation: "Your home will be destroyed and your cows taken away if you don't abort."
