Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 47 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Coerced sterilization [should be] viewed as a permanent and continuing act of persecution . . . .”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“To some extent, therefore, this case presents a dilemma. The respondent has, without question, sustained past persecution, which makes him eligible for asylum.... On the other hand, the respondent has no reasonable basis to fear this form of persecution in the future, based on the very fact that he has already been persecuted.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Qu v. Gonzales“It is manifestly clear that Congress intended to make eligible for asylum those who were victims of China's coercive family planning policy, not simply those who could be victims if returned to China.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Lin v. Ashcroft
