"Mr President, if a one-child policy leads to forced abortions, then this is something to be condemned, irrespective of whether this is the result of an official decree or because the perpetrators believe that their actions will be covered up by the authorities. Fortunately, matters like this can no longer be hushed up, thanks to the Internet. It also seems like a positive development that the local authorities are to pay compensation and intend punishing those involved.
Unfortunately, this is simply a case of good luck because China’s citizens cannot rely on universal human rights or the protection of the rule of law. Hence, our need to discuss the issue, because the list of those suffering persecution is long and includes writers and journalists, Tibetans who demonstrate against foreign infiltration and repression, Falun Gong practitioners who are tortured in Laogai re-education camps and many other groups. That is why it is right that we keep this issue on the agenda here and seek dialogue with China in this regard."@en1
