More on rioting in China over one-child policy

More on rioting in China over one-child policy.

"They are destroying our families and killing our children. How can we not revolt?"

The rioting makes it clear that local officials are still under pressure to meet birth control quotas. But their motivations to act often are selfish, critics say.

"They want to protect their political futures, and they can make a lot of money while they are at it," said Li Jinsong, a lawyer who represented a blind activist arrested for exposing excesses in the carrying out of family planning in eastern China. "It is easy for them to abuse their power and act against the best interest of poor peasants."

Villagers in Bobai County talk of a reign of terror that has forced many into hiding to avoid forced abortions or sterilization.
