How are women valued in Chinese society

Not as highly as men that's for sure

This is a complex question, but I believe they are not valued as highly as men. For example, there was a law that Chinese couples could only have one child. If they had another child, they had to give it up for adoption. Because females are not as valued, many couples who gave birth to a daughter would give them up for adoption and try for a son instead. This led to a lot of Chinese girls being up for adoption
