The Chinese population is rapidly urbanizing, going from less than a third urbanized to a majority urbanized in just the last ten years.
Flat lie, most people still live in the countryside. China has a LOT of people. You know how the American countryside is pretty much empty except for some cows and a few pickup trucks? The Chinese countryside is rural but hardly unpopulated...it's packed full of people. Everywhere.
The selective-sex thing isn't because Dad wants an heir to carry on the family name. It's because there's no social security in China thus the son's potential income is the Mom & Dad's retirement plan. Any daughter goes to live with her husband and takes care of her in-laws in their old age. Now you understand why they're such fanatics about education?
The atheism of the Chinese Communist Party is challenged by two religions, Christianity and Falun Gong.
The biggest howler of the entire uninformed post. Christianity is tame and Falun Gong is a weirdo cult.
The amount of "people making shit up" about China is astounding in the West. This is the kind of junk I'm used to reading from foreign journalists based in Beijing.
