By Greg Maresca, The American Spectator - (recently a) discerning headline ran in the Wall Street Journal: “The Chinese Billionaires Having Dozens of U.S.-Born Babies Via Surrogate.” Chinese billionaires are using surrogacy laws in the U.S. to construct family dynasties, while raising significant ethical, legal, and national security concerns in the process... The most prolific case that highlighted this growing and largely unregulated surrogacy marketplace was that of Xu Bo, a billionaire Chinese video game mogul who has fathered over 100 children... Yes, you read that right.
