Don’t forget the consumers that can’t get enough of “china prices” for crap they dont really need.
The Dying Rooms
Chinese Orphanages adopt a “zero population growth policy”

This is an old article - Jan. 7, 2002.
I don’t believe this is true anymore.
There is a HUGE problem with not enough little girls to some day be wives. In fact trying to adopt a little girl from China is VERY DIFFICULT today.

It’s not the corporations. It’s not the “customers”.
It’s about a society that elevates males over females to an extreme.
“It’s not the corporations. It’s not the “customers”.”
If you’re referring to the economic growth taking place in China it is certainly about corporations and customers being greedy.
“It’s about a society that elevates males over females to an extreme.”
No, its about a government that kills babies, forced sterilizations, and forced abortions.
The male over female is a reaction by desperate parents to the govt atrocities. The asian cultures certainly value males more than females but its a deeper issue. Parents depend on their kids for support when they get old. Girls cannot support their parents.
Orphanages in Eastern Europe are just as grim. In Russia handicapped children are shunted into psychiatric institutions to die among the insane. Orphaned children in Russia and Ukraine are preyed upon by pedophiles with access to the orphanages. Children in the poorest orphanages and in the institutions for "imbeciles" (which are often closed to foreigners) live without heat, with little food because the money to feed them is siphoned off by the corrupt or never paid by the govt. Children in my son's baby orphanage were fed sugar water for days one winter to survive when no money arrived from the govt to pay for food. In the summer the staffs bring vegetables and fruit from their tiny gardens to share with some of the children. Yogurt is like gold- so is a banana. I've seen the faces of kids who see these foods offered to them.
At least they have a roof over their heads- check out “The Children of Leningradsky” to see a documentary about Russian street children.
Humna Rights Watch has issued reports about both the Chinese "dying rooms; and about the entire Russian orphanage system, done in 1998. Romania where the poor dump their babies and handicapped kids in hospitals and abandon them, has not even permitted adoption for many years now. People are so poor in Moldova that human flesh is reportedly sold as food during the winter. You can imagine the fate of orphans in such a poor society. Street children are bought and sold by the hour in the Philippines and Cambodia.
Adopting from China and most of these other places has become an onerous process, unfortunately. Many good people are being turned away or turned off by the long wait.
Who knows.Blessed Harry Wu is banned from China now.We do know that the evil government of China is now making money off of selling organs by killing people who speak out against them.
Whatever way you look at China US relations,it's all bad from both sides
This is incredible. How can a communist country blame capitalisim?
Social engineering is at the root of communisim and socialisim. The state assumes it knows who should live or die.
How many generations must learn this lesson? I guess Stalin & Hitler, Pol Pot and even Mao himself weren’t enough. The Left ignores it’s own sad history, and can not see the death it reaps even now.
Thank you for posting this.
May these people answer to our Lord for this.
Whatsoever you do to the least of my brethren, that you do to me.
Thank you for bringing these horrific atrocities of eastern Europe to this forum as well.
Harry Wu is a blessing.
What’s intersting though is that China, yes China is more of a CHRISTIAN nation that the U.S.. No kidding. The leaders are not Christian but the church is growing by leaps and bounds over there. Here we want to abolish God.
“How can a communist country blame capitalisim?”
My guess is because the government in a communist country is never wrong.
You're 100 percent on target and in a very slow and methodical fashion this is happening here.
You know nothing about China. You read too much propaganda. Corporations are not creating these orphanages. It is the government that has a one child policy because there are OODLES of people over there that often starve to death. So the government came along with the one child policy. I don't agree with it but it has NOTHING TO DO WITH CORPORATIONS!
It has everything to do with Communism. It keeps people down. As China becomes more capitalistic, they are RELAXING the one child policy when people can AFFORD to feed more than one child. That's a fact.
“It’s about a society that elevates males over females to an extreme.”
No, its about a government that kills babies, forced sterilizations, and forced abortions.
The GOVERNMENT does do that because they believe it is more “compassionate” than seeing people starve to death. I don't agree with it.
The male over female is a reaction by desperate parents to the govt atrocities. The asian cultures certainly value males more than females but its a deeper issue. Parents depend on their kids for support when they get old. Girls cannot support their parents.
You really don't understand the Chinese. It the GOVERNMENT forcing the abortions. The family would keep the girls but they are only limited in many areas to one child so they value th boy over the girl. Many a poor Chinese girl has pitched in to help support the family. The Chinese still have an extended family type outlook - that includes females.
Half of my family is Chinese. We go to China. I know what I am talking about.
The progress the “underground church” is making in China is SHOCKING. They appreciate HOPE. They WANT FAITH in something. They KNOW socialism and communism isn’t right. They are EAGER to learn about Him.
Of course I’m not the only person out here extremely disturbed by this situation and wondering HOW to help.
Is it possible for you or somebody to post links to any reputable organizations that help these orphanages ?
or is anybody able to give a “ballpark” estimate of how much it costs to adopt a child from these places ?
does anyone think it could be possible for groups to contribute towards the goal of adopting children one at a time for willing folk to raise ? ( I hope you can understand what I mean here....together we could bring out one child at a time )
I am willing to help out in anyway I can,the SAME as MANY OTHERS.
we just need some knowledge to get started.
thank you.
....i don’t believe for one minute that it’s a simple coincidence that i read this post—
ummm so if the corporations weren’t involved in sending massive business to China how would their economy be doing?
