I was put off by the insinuations that all or most Chinese Orphanages are guilty of the same abuses. The things reported on the Shanghai orphanage are beyond bad, but that does not make the government guilty of supporting the death of all orphans. A very sad read, but some of it is a little unbelievable. The offical reports in the back are good to read for their explanation or denial of some of the events. I just can't decide if either side is truthful enough. A disturbing read if you are interesed in checking it out. This book was also written in the 90's and could be seen as pretty out of date on policy, etc. also. Not a have-to read due to heavy politcal bias in my opinion. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
China's claim to guarantee the "Right to subsistence" conceals a secret world of starvation, disease, and unnatural death--a world into which thousands of Chinese citizens disappear each year. The victims are not the political and religious dissidents who dominate the international debate over human rights in the People's Republic, they are orphans and abandoned children in custodial institutions run by China's Ministry of Civil Affairs. This report document the pattern of cruelty, abuse, and malign neglect which has dominated child welfare work in China since the early 1950s, and which now constitutes one of the country's gravest human rights problems.
And recommendations -- Social welfare in modern China -- China's orphans: The official record -- Unnatural deaths at the Shanghai orphanage -- Abuse and ill-treatment at the Shanghai orphanage: 1988-1993 -- The cover-up in Shanghai -- Developments in Shanghai, 1993-1995.
