The Xian Terracotta Warriors change gender in protest against abortions of girl babies--

Highly recommended--a non-Chinese artist draws attention to the imbalance of male:female ratios in India and China--brilliant--art as protest.
There has always been high female infanticide and selective abortions in China and now India, using ultra sound technology.
How does this bode for human trafficking in SE Asia incld Burma--
very very badly, already many women from Burma are being trafficked to China and elsewhere--Thailand to work as slaves in brothels or "wives" for Chinese men.
We should thank this very enterprising and creative and brave artist.
