Am I surprised? No.
Am I pissed? No.
I believe time will tell.
- humanrebar 11y agoThe one-child policy in China is one of the few issues that will piss off both pro-choice and pro-life Americans. Very few things will bring this sort of across-the-board unanimity in American politics.
- TeMPOraL 11y agoI don't know. Going through the comments, people here seem to be ahead of the curve in accepting that China may actually have had a point. But it's hard to agree with for many, because that would mean conceding that undemocratic solutions can be good and effective.
- mazerackham 11y agoYa I find that westerners in general have a REALLY hard time dealing with the success of China in the past 30 years, all of which springs from undemocratic policy. All media articles I read about China are ridiculously spun to grasp at straws for flaws in the government, while glossing over the tremendous good that the government has done for the people.
