chen spoke out. chen and his wife continue to pay a price. that policy, as we all know, has made brothers and sisters illegal. it has led to the absence of upwards of 100 million girls who have been killed by way of sex-election abortion as part of this one child per couple push, and that has led to a massive increase in human trafficking, because the women simply aren't there. we held a hearing at which we heard that between now and 2020, something on the order of 20 to 40 to 50 million -- 40 to 50 million men will not be able to find wives because they have systemically been killed as part of the one child per couple policy, so, it is a very serious policy. chen spoke out and paid the price. i will also note that i and members of our staff have tried to visit chen guanjen. we have appealed and applied repeatedly to the chinese embassy here for a visa to go and visit him. turned down. it's an ongoing request. my hope is that they will grant it and grant it soon. again, i want to thank our distinguished witnesses. i'd like to turn to my good

chen we, chen chi and li te all received prison sentences of five to ten years and they put a fourth activist on trial. each was charged with subversion or its incitement. this larger crackdown will only be exacerbated by the government's incredulous moves to potentially legalize disappearances like mr. gao's under chinese law. such a move would render the whole idea of the rule of law meaningless. finally, mr. gao's case is striking for how brazen the government has become in its willingness to publicly and transparently lie about the circumstances of his detention. after the government disappeared mr. gao in 2009, a security agent told the family that mr. gao had "lost his way" and went missing. later, the foreign ministry spokesman indicated that gao was "where he should be," an ominous reference, but when pressed later, smiled and said he didn't know where me was and couldn't be expected to know the whereabouts of all of china's 1.3 billion people. then, the government released a photograph of mr. gao purported to show him alive and well, but in it, he was wearing a distinctive b

chen is set to be close to the former president. >> reporter: he is 65 and studied at the university in pyongyang and said to be fluent in korean. he was promoted to parliament bureau member at the 2007 national party congress and became vice premier the following year. his portfolio includes safety management for coal mines and railways. in reporting on bo's dismissal, the hong kong television station carried an analysis by expert in chinese politics. >> reporter: on thursday, a television station in chongqing reported on the development. it quoted top party personnel official. he described the flight to the u.s. consulate as a grave incident with serious rep cushions. lee called chung politically powerful, fair and a person of good conduct. he added that chung is excellent at controlling situations. the television station said lee's comments appeared to insinuate criticism of bo. citizens in chongqing are divided over bo's sacking. >> reporter: authorities in chongqing appear to be nervous. they restrained the journalists from filming. there were many questions about bo's dismissal

but minister chen has agreed to answer more questions so we will accommodate a few more. the gentleman in the third row to my right. [ speaking foreign language ] >> translator: over the years china's export trade is serving as an important driving force behind the economic growth of this country and export trade has always been a pillar of economic growth. however, this development strategy orientation also causes many problems. for instance, the export of low end products was realized at a very high environmental and resource prize and also recently we've seen a contraction of external demand caused by the very serious debt crisis in europe as well as the slow and sluggish recovery of the u.s. economy. this also will negatively affect china's export trade. and there is also a tend i r ency that is to say that the ideological difference between china and some other countries will force china's export traders have to do with more hostility from other countries. so my question is what is your comment and what measures will the minister of commerce take to hand this will si

a memorial for richard chen, a longtime leader in a businessman in the chinatown committee that passed away on february 5. i want to take a minute to acknowledge and thank his family members who are here in the chamber today. he was born in a humble village in canton province in china. he proved over the course of his career to be a man a significant talent. after burying his wife in 1929, he began a remarkable military career with the chinese national party as a lieutenant colonel, later with the united states army, where he supported the famous flying tigers air force. soon after that, richard retired from his well decorated military service. he moved to san francisco with his wife and children. despite a modest start in the food industry, his hard work and dedication allowed him to build several successful grocery and restaurant businesses in chinatown. richard was highly respected in the community as an entrepreneur and business leader. in his story epitomizes the american dream. i want to thank him for his love for his wife, his children, his family, his compassion, and dedication

but under new president shui-bian chen, iwan has entered a transitional period.e government knows it cannot deny the momentum of business expansion. and on the mainland, local governments hotly compete for taiwanese investors, providing tax breaks and other incentives, because they know they are getting not only the technology but the people behind the technology. you need people, because today, most of technology is embodied in human people. and if you have cultural affinity and if you can speak the same language and you know each other very well, you can get the transfer down very well. narrator: and in the end, that may be the most important of all. hsu: and maybe after 50 years, after a long term of businesses and cultural exchange, maybe we can talk about if we can unite or separate. i think most of taiwanese people, you know, buy this idea-- wait and see. narrator: so much depends on the future of political relations between taiwan and china. for now, the answer is "wait and see." taiwan once associate asia's biggwithhe assemblyries. of cheap, inferior good

so david cameron thinks progress has been made but a lot more needs to be done at a time in chen individualountry's budgets are contracting. >> thank you. babies born two or three weeks early are more likely to have health problems in their first few years of life and that is according to a research publiced in the british medical journalist. until now, it was thought being born earlier than the full term made little difference but the b.m.j. study suggests doctors may need keep a closer eye on the health of these particular children. >> some babies arrive early into the world before the usual 40 weeks growing inside their mum. neonatal units look after the frailer. doctors have always known really premature babies need extra care. they can have health problems after life. the babies born just a few weeks early are regarded as completely healthy. today's research is based on 14,000 babies and it suggests the picture is more complicated. >> we found that it's no longer appropriate if we have them previously to think of babies as either being born out to term or premature. because what we fou
