Due to the Family Planning Policy (One Child Policy) in China, females may be aborted, abandoned, neglected, confiscated by the family planning officials, or intentionally killed.
Boys. Since the Chinese are only allowed one child, they prefer to have a boy to carry on the family name.
China is over populated. Also, to the Chinese girls are use less.
One family can have up to one baby because of the "One Child Policy", but people are able to pay a large amount of money in order to keep another child. A cultural belief in China is that boys are supposed to be kept over girls since China has a lot of agricultural land and boys are supposed to work out on the farms. So when a family is trying to have a boy child, or they don't think about the fact that they might not be able to afford a child, and they have a girl instead, then the girl is either killed, adding up to the 900,000 "missing" girls, or if lucky, put in an orphanage.
babies arent really killed in china.they are just unwanted and either put up for adoption or left in the garbage can were people could mabey find them.and not all babies are unwanted,its just the girls. sad hugh?
Historically in China, boys have been preferred due to traditional beliefs such as carrying on the family name, inheriting property, and providing for elderly parents. The one-child policy also influenced this preference as families wanted a son to continue the family line. However, attitudes are slowly changing with increased awareness about gender equality.
It has worked in one way, but they the boys will not get girls to marry.

* In China, the population is so high that they hae a law which allows each couple no more than one child. Many people have abortions if they find out that they have a girl because the boys are found more useful and carry on the family name ect. So because there are roughly 126 boys born for every 100 girls born, girls have been kidnapped by people who want girls.
