6. There are major factual problems with this 2010 article.

While it is a fact that problems exist in some areas of India and China its assertion that wealthier areas have similar problems didn't sound right to me.

It's basic assertion is that the problem exists in the Indian/Chinese diaspora, and I find this very hard to believe.

Taking one example, Singapore I googled birth statistics and found that for 2011 the number of live births is

Male 79.3

Female 84.1

That search took me all of 30 seconds.

While some aspects of the article may be correct the assertion that Chinese and Indians are doing this all over the world is really quite racist.

Given that it doesn't advise who the author is and all of its assumptions are based on unsourced 'facts', some of which are 100% wrong and easily disproved the OP may wish to put a disclaimer into the article or delete it all together.
