Re: China Must get It's Come-uppance?
end of story - "they will never tell you the truth - and have prevented a full exploration by WHO"
however China has a habit of shooting itself in the feet - it did it with the `1 child policy - some would say successful - they don't give you the full story - it's all there to read on www? and now they do a reverse turn and are encouraging families to have up to three children if they wish - not sure if it is an order yet or just a democratic "if you wish" - but remember democracy don't figure?
but they didn't foresee or chose to ignore [I favor the didn't foresee] the longer term results of forced abortions and insertion of IUD's - yes I did say 'forced' and there is no indication in my mind that they have considered or are even interested in the total outcomes of this decision. But you don't need to be too bright to work it out yourselves? 1+1+1 = ???
ps: another non-quoted stats of the one child policy was the number of unrecorded infanticide cases [female in particular]
don't get me wrong I have many Chinese friends both in Oz and in China; love their food and histories but am also aware of their shortcomings or rather to be more accurate the shortcoming of their politburo - perhaps the common people themselves would never make these decisions and/or mistakes?
