Barbara Demick: Abducted & Adopted, The Story of China’s One-Child Policy

Geopolitics & EmpireBy Updated:No Comments3 Mins Read

Journalist and author Barbara Demick discusses her new, powerful, and must-read book “Daughters of the Bamboo Grove: From China to America, a True Story of Abduction, Adoption, and Separated Twins”. With a deep boots-on-the-ground experience, she details the brutality of China’s one-child policy and the profound lasting effects it continues to have. She describes the scandalous adoption frenzy that took place, where officials illegally kidnapped Chinese children from their families and disappeared them. Demick found a needle in a haystack and managed to reunite one set of twins who were strewn across the planet, from America to China.
