The gender preference has made a surplus of boys even in history.

Female babies were literally thrown out windows and left to die on the street. Unwanted daughters were sold to other families as slaves and later worked to death. This was normal in China.

You can't blame the gender imbalance on the 1 child policy. In modern technology it is the prenatal screening and selective abortion that causes it. A family that wants a first son will want two sons.

This imbalance is just evidence of China's backwardness and sexism. It shows how far the Government still has to go in educating the people.
