Quote:
Actually, according to some reports and admissions from some Chinese leaders, this system is starting to backfire on China. There is now such a shortage of single females since boys are encouraged in China, that there is concern about unrest in the Army due to the same lack of women for the soldiers to start families with. Don't know how true the reports are, but think about an Army with a population bigger than our own country and no women for the male soldiers. Can't make for a happy barracks life!
If you'll check recent revisions in the adoption policies you'll find China has rethought their process and in order to restrict the outflow of girls they have implemented stringent adoption guidelines. Seems like they gave away too much breeding stock. One of my best friends adopted a Chinese girl in the 90's. In his own words the orphanages were like mini concentration camps, so under staffed that the babies were tied in their cribs or onto the potties because there wasn't enough staff to attend to them. His daughter had rope burns for months after they got back . Now she's and out-and-out American pre-teen and doing very well.
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)
