Ah, another anti-China propaganda piece based on American misconceptions about Chinese policy.
- Someone1234 11y agoWhile there are absolutely tons of anti-Chinese US pieces written, I'd be interested to hear what misconceptions the US has about China's policy (I'm guessing the one child policy)? From the raw data I've seen in recent years there is just under a 4% "shortfall" in girls Vs. boys within China.
- caskance 11y agoMost Americans believe the "one child policy" limits families to one child. Then they extrapolate conclusions based on how they imagine that might be enforced. It's like someone thinking the American "Affordable Healthcare act" made healthcare in America affordable. And then they guess "oh, that law probably limited how much hospitals and doctors could charge or something". "So that probably made it harder for hospitals to make money, right? I don't care enough to find out whether that's true, but it makes sense." "Hey, an article about a healthcare merger in the US. I'll comment on it since I know all about why this is happening."
