title: Forced abortions and involuntary sterilization in China: are the victims of coercive population control measures eligible for asylum in the United States?
abstract: This Article discusses the propriety of granting political asylum to Chinese citizens fleeing China's coercive population control policy. It argues that China is persecuting some of its citizens through its population control policy and that the United States should grant asylum to those who have been persecuted or who have a genuine fear of future persecution.
