Chinese gaming tycoon Xu Bo’s company [December 16, 2025] pushed back against claims he had fathered more than 100 children through surrogates in the United States.
Xu’s case—detailed in an investigation published [December 13, 2025] by The Wall Street Journal—highlights what researchers have described as a sharp increase in Chinese intended parents. This demand has been met by an expanding network of fertility clinics, surrogates, brokers, law firms, and nanny services aiming to fast-track the transfer of these children to China.
… The rise of Chinese elites spending millions to have large families in the U.S. has raised questions about how this largely unregulated industry will shape the upbringing and well-being of the children involved.
Xu, the 48-year-old reclusive founder of Duoyi, is reportedly seeking “50 high-quality sons” …. The billionaire also reportedly wrote that “having more children can solve all problems,” and fantasized about his children one day marrying those of Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
