(United Nations – C-Fam<\/a>) The Trump administration blasted the UN population agency for working with the population control bureaucracy of the Chinese Communist Party and for promoting gender ideology and DEI.<\/p>\n

A U.S. statement at the executive board of the UN population agency this week explained that the administration\u2019s decision to withhold funding to the agency was due to UNFPA\u2019s continued involvement with the Chinese government\u2019s population control programs. \u201cFor decades, the United States has called on UNFPA to end its partnership with the Chinese government agency responsible for implementing coercive policies,\u201d the\u00a0statement<\/a>\u00a0explained.<\/p>\n

Millions of families and generations of women were subject to \u201cbarbaric forced abortions and involuntary sterilization\u201d, it says. \u201cWhere is their justice? UNFPA\u2019s silence on the health and well-being of those women suffering still today is deafening.\u201d<\/p>\n

The statement announced that the administration had no other choice but to apply the Kemp-Kasten Amendment. That law requires the executive branch to withhold federal funding to agencies or programs that involve coercive population control.<\/p>\n

Even though the one-child policy was abolished a decade ago, China still has an active population control regime managed by a powerful bureaucracy that does not leave spouses free to decide on the number and spacing of their children. China\u2019s policy currently allows families to have a maximum of three children, up from a single child under the one-child policy.<\/p>\n
