To the best of my knowledge there is no gender imbalance in taiwan or hk, so this seems to be a chinese thing.
If chinese abuse this information, why not just block it from chinese and allow if for the rest ? Seems a bit blunt to ban it outright as it does not seem to be an issue in hk to do sex selective abortions.
