Thank you very much. I really appreciate your commitment and your leadership. We listened and everything we can do, we will support you and support this great need.

The Chinese Government has shown a blatant disregard for the basic human rights of women.

Considering the relaxation of the one-child policy, have you seen a drop or increase in terms of the number of women seeking to abort females?

I spoke freely about the concerns that I had with human rights, religious liberties, freedoms of conscience that are pervasive throughout China.

It is bizarre, and it certainly is a gross violation of human rights, to say the least.

I take any relaxation of the policy as a step in the right direction, but the underlying problem... is the problem of the planned birth policy itself.

And they saw the impact that it had on women's lives and was a real dark stain upon their culture.

On one occasion, one of the leaders quietly lamented to me that they felt that this policy was horrific and should hopefully be changed in their culture.

I returned from China. I was there this fall, meeting with the leadership in Beijing and Shanghai and Shenzhen, with business leaders and government leaders, and had formal and informal discussions regarding issues related to human rights…

It is not the status quo that should be acceptable.

The American taxpayer really deserves accountability on these dollars.
