there’s the HUGE gender imbalance due to the one-child law.

Many many more males than females..

which complements Russia’s opposite problem...

sickly males.. many healthy females.

interesting no?

I will not willingly subsidize slavery.

Nominalism is more Powerful than Politics. China, though, wanted Tofler’s Third Wave without noticing that there is more to the package and it is not possible to implement only the superficial elements without the rest of the basis. They want Capitalism, but they haven’t adopted the rest of the Western constitution. So, their miracle is a sand castle and the tide is turning.

What ever happened with that?
