That's what happens when you try and control things in such a manner. Maybe they'll import them from other countries, who knows. But it is a problem. <BR/><BR/>LMC: I would agree, but won't happen.

I think the U.S. should have a much different trade policy with China until they agree to clean up their act.Dionnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05013166054883351020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34133856.post-13628357912576271572007-06-26T23:47:00.000-04:002007-06-26T23:47:00.000-04:00Incog - I don't think the government gives their p...Incog - I don't think the government gives their people any credit for intelligence. A civilization that is more agrarian tends to have more children to help. One that is more technical or industrialized tends to have fewer children. One of the issues they are facing is the lack of women for all these young men to marry. Because they have favored the male child and aborted (or even worse - murdered a girl at birth), they now do not have enough women for their young men. So what are they going to do?<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the post!Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04018768293766814480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34133856.post-58615501695358632372007-06-26T18:45:00.000-04:002007-06-26T18:45:00.000-04:00RIGHTY64: I know, it's terribly sad about valuing...RIGHTY64: I know, it's terribly sad about valuing males over females in that society. There's a wonderful Chinese film called "The King of Masks", that deals with that issue. It's a beautiful film and I highly recommend it. well, the U.S. no longer funds the UNFPA.. About all we can do.<BR/><BR/>PATJ: Would be a good name for a blog. But, I hate to say this, it goes the other way, as well. Government controlling anything in our lives is not a good thing. <BR/><BR/>FRASY: Not sure what the demographics are but, in a way, I do understand the need to keep a cap on the population but there have to be better ways than this.<BR/><BR/>MUD: I agree, I personally find it abhorrent as a form of birth control, but I also believe that government shouldn't interfere in any way with our lives. You start treading into dangerous ground there.<BR/><BR/>ANGEL: welcome home!!Incognitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09692949516037191969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34133856.post-42061612154225879552007-06-26T17:27:00.000-04:002007-06-26T17:27:00.000-04:00so sad hun and so sickening!.hiya!..back from my t...so sad hun and so sickening!.hiya!..back from my trip..ty for all the comments while I was gone! :)WomanHonorThyselfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17211851365273181636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34133856.post-82897949040166555932007-06-26T10:51:00.000-04:002007-06-26T10:51:00.000-04:00There is just no reason that what goes on in China...There is just no reason that what goes on in China is worth the effort to write about. One of these days they will have a war with India and both nations will throw a couple of million soldiers at the problem and solve both over population problems. I hate abortion as a for of birth control but I hat it more that any Government gets between a woman and her doctor about something so personal.

It is not just the forced abortions that are nauseating, but the killing of girls because the Red Chinese value boys over girls. This is a problem that neither political party wants to address. Yes, it is their internal policies, but we have always stood against immoral practices and I think of nothing more immoral than forced abortions. Believe me, if you do not think it can happen here, the deafening silence on this leads me to believe that, sadly, it canRighty64https://www.blogger.com/profile/09732939643534694274noreply@blogger.com
