| China's pension fund face huge shortfall-Media Watch June 17 -- BONTV Posted: 18 Jun 2012 03:17 AM PDT | China into a nationwide debate, with many people wondering how the nation should cope with its rapidly aging population.

When she was found pregnant again early this year, local officials detained her and threatened her to the extent that she finally agreed to have an abortion because she violated the country's one-child policy. Feng agreed to undergo induced labor on June 2, according to the statement published on the Zhenping Family Planning Commission's website.
