Asking if the Chinese still perform full-term abortions a very loaded question. Do you still beat your wife?
Officially, it's always been illegal, though some officials have performed late term abortions as a result of pressure coming from above.
I believe the different regional bureaucracies and officials implement the rule differently. The one child policy has mostly been relaxed in the rural provinces, though these were also the places with the most horrific atrocities happening in them. Possibly, in some remote parts, late term abortions continue.

Questions that go to revealing systematic infanticide are by their nature loaded. > I believe the different regional bureaucracies and officials implement the rule differently. You're telling me that a country that uses the death penalty for people shipping contaminated milk can't keep regional bureaucrats from murdering newborns?

- timje1 13y agoNo, your question is loaded because of the use of the word "still", not its content.

That's actually very coherent: the weaker your grip, the more brutal you want to be. Mao was very fond of the Latin "Unum castigabis, centum emendates".
