Chinese billionaires are using American surrogates to expand their 'unstoppable family dynasty' by breeding mega-families with more than 100 children.
Wealthy businessmen, who claim to have been inspired by the likes of Elon Musk, say they will fight declining birth rates in China.
The ban on domestic surrogacy in the country means some tycoons have spent up to $200,000 (£150,000) per child to ship their genetic material abroad to the US where laws are more lax.
One billionaire, Xu Bo, who made his money making fantasy video games, boasted of having 'a little of over 100' children.
Dubbing himself 'China's first father', Mr Xu appeared in court in 2023 when a judge denied his parental rights to four unborn children as it was found he had already fathered or was in the process of fathering another eight.
In court, Mr Xu said he hoped to have 20 US-born children via surrogates so they could take over his business.
He allegedly said he wanted boys because he considered them superior to girls - remarks which a representative of his company, Duoyi Network, have since claimed he did not make.
Social media accounts linked to Mr Xu in the past have stated 'having more children can solve all problems' and fantasised about his offspring marrying those of Mr Musk, the Wall Street Journal reports.
His former partner, Tang Jing, claimed the business tycoon had fathered at least 300 children.
Babies born in the US are classed as American citizens through the 14th Amendment - though President Donald Trump is seeking to change this through a supreme court challenge.
Another wealthy Chinese executive, Wang Huiwe, is said to have hired American models as among his choice of egg donors to have 10 girls.
According to sources close to him, he wishes to marry them off to powerful men.
Nathan Zhang, the founder of IVF USA, a fertility clinic chain which branches across the US and Mexico added some of his 'crazy rich' clients from China wanted to make hundreds of babies born in America.
He said Elon Musk was 'becoming a role model now' and some customers had their sights set on 'forging an unstoppable family dynasty'.
Mr Zhang said he previously refused one businessman who asked for more than 200 children at once via surrogates - the request was turned down when the client became 'speechless' after being asked how he planned to raise them.
Other accounts include an agency owner in California saying he had helped a Chinese parent who was after 100 children via surrogacy and a Los-Angeles based lawyer claiming to have help his Chinese billionaire customer have 20 children.
Liu Pengyu, spokesman for the Chinese Embassy is the US insisted Beijing's position is surrogacy can lead to a 'serious family and social ethical crisis'.
