The Chinese government admitted recently that over the last four decades the country has aborted 336 million unborn children.

According to Financial Times, the Chinese Health Ministry reported on March 14 the following statistics for its family planning practices since 1971:

- 336 million abortions performed;

- 196 million sterilizations conducted;

- 403 million intrauterine devices inserted.

China, which has a quarter of world’s population, first instituted limits on population growth in 1971 and established its “one-child” population control program in 1979.

According to a report by The Gospel Coalition, the 336 million deaths in China are:

- More than the entire population of the world at the time of Crusades (c. 1100 AD)

- Equal to the entire combined populations of the United States and Australia.

- More deaths than were caused by (in millions): the Bubonic Plague in Europe (100), the Great Chinese Famine (45), the 1918 Influenza Pandemic (40), the HIV/AIDS pandemic (25), the Holocaust (13), the Soviet famine of 1932-1933 (8), the Russian famine of 1921 (3), and the American Civil War (.8).

- More than all the people killed in the 10 ten deadliest wars in human history (Based onhighest estimates (in millions): World War II (72), World War I (65), Mongol Conquest (60), An Lushan Rebellion (36), Taiping Rebellion (30), Qing Dynasty conquest of the Ming Dynasty (25), Conquests of Timur (20), Dungan Revolt (12), Russian Civil War (9), Second Congo War (5.4))

- More than all the children that will be born in the world over the next ten years.

The editor of article wrote, “No comparisons, however, can truly help us understand the scale of these 336 million deaths – and that is in a single country.” He said that only God can truly fathom the depths of this depravity and only God can truly apprehend the magnitude of this loss.
