China's birth limits create dangerous gender gap

[GZBILL]

you know this very privince biased ?

 

in yunnan there is no restriction (imposed) on villages or a preference for gender on children.

Also most dont care in cities (yunnan) if children are girls or boys, I realise this is different in the north and east in some cities and villages, but it is changing.

 

Not so. It is not based on province.

 

What happens is that in some provinces there are certain ethnic groups and any ethnic group that is not Han is legally allowed to reproduce like rabbits. Han Chinese in Yunnan are under the population planning rules.

 

true and not true, china is not as rigid as usa govt control

 

Not a very lucid statement that anybody who has been in China for more than 4 days would find true.

 

When the Chinese government wants to exercise control, they can do it very rigidly and in the most brutal ways imaginable.

 

Oh, really? Show us an example.

 

As far as I know, when the fishing ship went to the coatline of Russia, the Russians fired at them, killing 7 out of 16.

 

Last month, the same thing happened in the Chinese coast line by American so called research ship, did we kill the Americans? Negative.

 

You must be confused.

 

Tiananmen, Tibet ... dozens -- if not hundreds -- of lesser incidents of the government exercising brutal control.

 

For those who are not freethinkers, I did not say that any forms of rigid, brutal control are wrong. I simply say that it exists here and, more often than not, much more than in the USA.

 

 

Ok, if some of the protesters took a gun, went out of control and began to kill people, what would your government do in that situation? I think the answer is very obvious.

 

Why did you support some of the Dali Tibetan riot? What is your propose? You want China to split into 30 tiny countries as USSR did? Did your government allow any of your state to break away from the union? I think History has told us the answer. And talking about brutal, everybody knows how many Americans got killed during the Civil War? Do you want me to remind you of that?

 

I just want to give you this example to show you that every government could be doing something out of their normal ways, becaus there are always accidents. Dont use that as a weapon to against them. Dont poke your neighbour while you have a fire on the backyard. That is not nice.

 

 

If you write coherent thought patterns I promise not to laugh.

My example just serves the propose of denying the saying that our government is brutal, by some guys here...actually our government is people friendly.

Totally agree!

 

Deep down, though, you really should feel sorry for someone who can write that and honestly believe it.

 

Yes, I did, am doing, will always believe in my country, not like your wife, two days after she went to America, she thought she was an American already.

 

I suppose if I were boxed into a corner and shown to have an IQ of your average gerbil I'd come out with that comment, too.

 

But the funny thing is that I do not have a Chinese wife.

This is a cheap shot too, don't you think?

GZBILL, I agree with you on just about everything, except this. My question, How can somebody from another country think they know more then a native born and raised and educated from that country?

What do we really know about China and it's culture? Just what we read in books and see on TV News and documentaries? In my opinion, I think the person that grew up there knows the best.

 

When the person that grew up there shows, by what they post, that they have the grasp of a three year old, then you don't have to be a rocket scientist to be right. And it really isn't rocket science.

 

You see this a lot in the uneducated sector -- often with poor self-esteem -- of every country where they take a non-threatening factual comment and get defensive to the point where what little reality they do hold turns into steam. Next will come the "Foreigners should get out of China!" rant and then it just goes downhill from there.

 

Some people who grew up here never really grew up.

You need to PM me. We need to talk.

Unlike those whose intellectual ability precludes them from formulating an even somewhat logical statement, I feel confident that there is a rational scientific basis to question the faculties of someone who makes a comment about a wife that doesn't exist.

 

Is it really rocket science to do a post search on someone before you make wild accusations?

 

I think anybody here with the attention span of a gerbil knows that my wife is not Chinese.

If you think we need to talk, then let's hope you have the intellect and manual dexterity to make use of the PM function and initiate contact.

 

Or might it be beyond your capabilities?
