(THE DAILY CALLER) \u2013 A growing number of ultra-wealthy Chinese nationals are turning to U.S. surrogates to have children on American soil, taking advantage of America\u2019s largely unregulated market and birthright citizenship, The Wall Street Journal reported Saturday.\n<\/p>\n

In one such case, Chinese video game billionaire Xu Bo has sought parental rights for at least four unborn children in Los Angeles, having already fathered or arranged surrogacy for at least eight additional children, according to the\u00a0WSJ. The trend coincides with intensifying\u00a0debates\u00a0over the 14th Amendment\u2019s guarantee of U.S. citizenship for anyone born in the country, a policy the Trump administration has sought to reinterpret.\n<\/p>\n

Xu appeared in a 2023 confidential court hearing by video from China, telling the judge he hoped to have about 20 U.S.-born children, with a preference for boys, to inherit his business, the outlet reported. Several of the children were reportedly being cared for by nannies in Irvine, California, while awaiting paperwork to travel to China.\n<\/p>\n

Last month, Xu\u2019s ex-girlfriend claimed in a post on Chinese social media platform Weibo that he had 300 children living across multiple properties in different countries, according to the WSJ. Duoyi Network, Xu\u2019s company, disputed the 300 figure but confirmed that through years of U.S. surrogacy, Xu has \u201conly a little over 100\u201d children.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cThe boss does not accept interview requests from anyone for any purpose,\u201d a representative for Duoyi Network said in an email to the WSJ, adding that \u201cmuch of what you described is untrue.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

Neither the Duoyi Network nor Xu could be reached for comment.\n<\/p>\n

Xu is far from alone.\n<\/p>\n

In May, police launched a child abuse investigation into Chinese national\u00a0Guojun Xuan\u00a0and his wife after a two-month-old in their care was hospitalized with a head injury. The Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services subsequently removed 21 children from the couple\u2019s custody, including some born to surrogates.\n<\/p>\n

Notably, Xuan served as a senior Chinese government official for at least two decades with the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region People\u2019s Congress, responsible for repressive policies contributing to ongoing\u00a0genocide\u00a0against Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities, a Daily Caller News Foundation\u00a0investigation\u00a0found in July.\n<\/p>\n

Nathan Zhang, founder and CEO of IVF USA \u2014 a network of fertility clinics in the U.S. and Mexico catering to wealthy Chinese clients \u2014 also told the WSJ that a growing number of extremely wealthy foreign clients are commissioning dozens, or even hundreds, of U.S.-born children to create what he described as an \u201cunstoppable family dynasty.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

One Chinese businessman reportedly sought more than 200 children at once through surrogacy. Zhang said the individual was \u201cspeechless\u201d when asked how he planned to raise all the children, according to the outlet.\n<\/p>\n

Another California surrogacy agency owner said he had helped fulfill a request from a Chinese parent seeking 100 children, with the \u201corder\u201d spread across multiple agencies.\n<\/p>\n

Wang Huiwu, another Chinese executive, reportedly used U.S. surrogates and egg donors to father ten girls, with the intention of marrying them off to influential men. He purchased dozens of eggs from models, a finance Ph.D. and a musician at costs ranging from $6,000 to $7,500 each, people familiar with his company told the WSJ.\n<\/p>\n

The CEO of a New York IVF clinic helping connect Chinese parents with surrogacy agencies said that when a client requests three or four simultaneous surrogacies, agencies \u2014 which typically receive $40,000 to $50,000 per surrogacy, in addition to payments to the surrogate carriers \u2014 often respond enthusiastically.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m getting positive feedback from the surrogacy agencies, they\u2019re like, \u2018This is a big one! I want to do this!\u2019\u201d the CEO told the outlet.\n<\/p>\n

U.S.-based surrogacy arrangements involving foreign nationals more than quadrupled from 780 carrier cycles in 2014 to 3,240 cycles in 2019, accounting for nearly 40% of the U.S. total, researchers from Emory University\u00a0found. Between 2014 and 2020, 41% of international surrogacy clients were from China.\n<\/p>\n

Following reports of Chinese national\u00a0Guojun Xuan\u2019s\u00a0abuse of children in his care, Republican Sen. Rick Scott of Florida\u00a0introduced\u00a0the Stopping Adversarial Foreign Exploitation of Kids in Domestic Surrogacy Act, which would ban the use of surrogacy in the U.S. by people from certain foreign countries, including China.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cAmerica\u2019s surrogacy system is meant to help individuals build families \u2013 it should never be the avenue to allow abuse, neglect, or deceit of innocent women and babies,\u201d Scott\u00a0said\u00a0in November while introducing the bill. \u201cAnd it\u2019s terrifying that this might be at the hands of foreign adversaries with the sole intent of having a child that is a U.S. citizen.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

The Supreme Court is\u00a0expected\u00a0to consider President Donald Trump\u2019s\u00a0executive order\u00a0limiting birthright citizenship in early 2026.\n<\/p>\n
