White Swan Hotel

Well, I'm not a fan of this article for lots of reasons. For me, two statements jump out. First: "After all, Beijing is well within its right to decide its own rules and weed out unhealthy parents. Why shouldn't it try to prevent its orphans from inhaling secondhand smoke?" Maybe I'm taking this statement too literally...but I've never heard of smoking or second hand smoke being an issue in adoption. Or, am I supposed to think of this as a metaphor to other health issues like being overweight (which I am). Second (and way more offensive) "Most orphans are older than 5, sick or disfigured not the kind most Westerners want. Think of the baby in the newspaper staring up at readers with a cleft lip." Seems to me if this reporter did his research, he'd realize how many more SN adoptions are happening each year.
