> China is more strict on population planning for certain minorities - not officially, but in the background; think Muslims in western China or Tibet or Mongolians, or ethnic Koreans in northeastern China... If you had no population planning for all the Han chinese, you might have a brighter light cast on this small in number but impactful population control actions.
LAMO
My mother was almost forced to sterilze, which would make me disappear in 1984, she is Han Chinese. That was because local beauracrats' stupid idea of birth planning.
Can you stop making CCP looking better by saying it's discrinating against minorities...
Edit: I was the 2nd child.
- stanrivers 5y agoVery curious - why was she selected for this?
- mensetmanusman 5y agoIt was a broad policy that affected millions of women.
- stanrivers 5y agoUnderstood - but I think he was saying that before she even had one child, they were trying to force sterilize his mother, who was Han Chinese. That is a new concept to me, unless maybe it was wealth / income / genetic disease related?
- justicezyx 5y agoShe was a poor rural village woman. Of course, forced sterilization is not going to work in the cities. Because people with some form of certain degree of intellect understand the use of contraception and can just forgo their job or certain possession to pay the fine. Forced sterilization was never an explicit policy. Everyone with decent intellect knows that's ridiculous. It was practiced, of course, out of middle and low level bureaucracy's sense of "meeting the goal". Of course CCP has not enough resources to enforce a ridiculous policy anyway.
- stanrivers 5y agoWell I am glad that she was able to avoid it for your sake. Unfortunately, I am sure many women were not able to do so. It is very much a terrible thing.
