In the natural babies are born about half and half. If I’m not mistaken I think there is 1 women for ever 20 males in China.
A Communistic culture is the worst of all Its failures go far beyond the financial structure. It world drive anyone crazy to live in such a mind controlled, sexist and infanticide society
My guess is there is more to this story.
If they are frustrated, they should leave the children alone and take out those frustrations on the officials who have implemented the policy.
In answer to the first question, yes. Some villages have male/female ratios as high as 130 to 100 - really abnormal. In fact, a lot of beautiful young Chinese women I have met here in Chicago are downright insufferable. They, especially the ones from Shanghai, make Jewish-American Princesses look like Wal-mart shoppers.
I think Rupert Murdoch’s wife, who slept her way to him, married and divorced three others, who divorced their spouses, before hitting the proverbial jackpot.
If they have hit that wall, who could blame them?
A family with one child is fine for those who plan it that way themselves. What happens if something happens to that one child?
Certainly no one in their right mind would argue for litters like the octomother had, but what right has a government to limit the children of a family who pays for their own kids and supports them themselves.
I fear this portends horror beyond horror. Both China and India have the same problem, both due to culturally despising females. The result is 30-50 million men, and growing, with no prospect for employment or marriage.
“Any young man who is unmarried at the age of twenty one is a menace to the community.” - Brigham Young.
From 1850 to 1864, China experienced the second bloodiest conflict in human history, called the Taiping Rebellion. Little known in the US, this murderous civil war was to a great extent caused by one charismatic individual, who led millions of people in pernicious slaughter, against an equally determined Empire. Perhaps 30 million people died.
But people who work and eat do not so easily rise up, as do young men without employment or their own family.
In this case, what India and China may face is that either both will have bloody civil wars, or that they will war with each other, solely to kill off these “excess” men.
Now if asians were as smart as their always trying to convince us they are then why don’t they have a daughter and when she grows up demand a SERIOUS dowry??
