"entitled"

China has a #OneChildPolicy?

On the topic of one-child policy: https://invidious.fdn.fr/watch?v=nFA-68cvpI4

Why is #EggFreezing banned in #China ?

eggs as in human eggs for #IVF

(no #sinophobic answers please)

Is that still current info? If it is a legacy of the #OneChildPolicy i would expect it might be changed now that they are encouraging three kids per family?

It was mentioned in passing on this #podcast from #TheEconomist https://open.spotify.com/episode/5AVoUA3cR6mt28OPG7VBE0?si=FwW18SGwSQq2JZYhQ7tIUw link from #spotify normally I'd find a direct link, but it's not very relevant to this post

Central planning for society often doesn't pan out the way you'd expect. Zero-Covid past the availability of vaccines is one example. In the coming decades, the effects of One-Child Policy are going to be tremendous.

My grandparents on one side emigrated from China in the 1930s. That was a lucky decision, it seems. For a Chinese person to have no siblings, cousins, nieces/nephews is unimaginable, but that's going to be the reality for many in the 21st century because of the CCP's policies of the 20th century.

In much of #China, prevailing local regulations and social mores make having a third #child—or any child at all if you’re unmarried or LGBT—nearly impossible. But for the 83 million people in the #Sichuan province, that’s about to change. https://time.com/6252262/china-sichuan-unmarried-people-children/ #OneChildPolicy

In 2015, the #ChineseGovernment did something it almost never does: It admitted it made a mistake. The ruling #CommunistParty announced that it was ending its historic and coercive #OneChildPolicy, allowing all married couples to have up to two children. https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/23558772/china-population-overpopulation-one-child-policy-demographics-aging-beijing-xi-jinping

Wiki-
In the late 20th century and the early 21st century, the percentage share has been trending down. This was caused by two opposite factors: On one hand, the world population has been growing explosively. On the other hand, in order to address the poverty issue, China implemented a strict birth control policy.

@seankearney
Quite right. Home to roost.

Having said that, they seem to trade in equally bad #proxyWars. China have surplus men from #oneChildPolicy, and west seem willing to off #Trump/#Brexit-type voters, and #SouthAmerica has stuff.

Re #homeToRoost, we were talking to a young adult recently about #Israel genocide and #landGrab from #Palestinians. They said, beating chest, "I don't watch the news, I do my own thing," Something to that effect.

All we said was, these things come full circle.

Li Jingzhi still lives in Xi'an and
Jia Jia continues to live in Chengdu.
They once lived together as mother and her son Mao Yin in Xi'an till when he was two years eight months old and she was 28 years old and #China's . #OneChildPolicy was in full swing...
