"why should the Chinese officials care about these girls.....aren't girl babies regularly purged before birth and after as well?"

NO, that is about as far from the truth as you can get.

Those days have long been gone. It is illegal in china to have tests done that determine the sex of a fetus.

Having female children in China is no longer a bad thing. Especially if she grows up to be attractive because most families can not pay the traditional price paid to the brides family when their son wished to marry. In other words, having a female child can fetch a handsome price for her family when a young man wishes to marry her.

Re 33 and 34,

Enemy's comments are not really accurate. They do reflect Chinese communist apologetics and propaganda.
