The One Child Policy in China

We heard it from the Chinese people who escaped. It was in the Christian news online and the papers. Oh Lifesite News reported it. I do not have the exact date but you can probably find out yourself. Us Christians if we lie, fear hell and damnation, so we are doubly told to tell the truth. And I am not talking about recent - of course, now it is illegal to have harems, and concubines, but think about back 500 years ago before they knew the outside world, then multiply it by the centuries.

I think that it would be great for Mr Y and Mrs Y if they live in a country area. Do you think Chinese people move from the city the countryside in order to have two children? I would understand a second time pregnant lady hiding so she is not forced to have an abortion. The way an abortion would be performed sounds worse than really horrible. I think the force would be incredibly scary for the lady. I think the sterilizing a lad without her wishes would be awful. I was surprised to see how low Ireland's population is given the Catholic religion is common there. I live in a small country that has a population of over 58 million. Thanks for your wonderful response my friend.

hey,guy ,i want to tell you ,you opion "the reason they have a large population was that many wealy men had concubines" was totally wrong ,that because Chinese family has too many children before (just like my father or grandfater generation, having concubines are illegal in China). and also abortion though legal in China , not as you said they did so horrible things,if you don't really know the truth ,you'll mislead the members here.

Thanks for responding because My Lot is about discussing and I can see you are interested in what might happen. I am pro-life.

That's good.

I'm also wondering about that... And I agree that I hope they won't resort to abortion... =[

As you know, if the population of China is smaller, Chinese will live a more flourish life! 20 years ago, there were no such one child policy. Thus, Chinese had been looked upon by the else world! They couldn't afford most of the things they want. But now, everything changed! It means the one child policy helps a lot! A coin has two sides; Nothing is perfect, I guess! Some people do want a second child! They can have one if they want! But it is still against the rules! So, the guys have to pay for it! They would be fined for some money accordingly! I don't know why lots of Chinese prefer to have a son! Since their first kid is a girl, they break the rule in order to have a son regardless of all consequences! If it turns out that they have another girl, they will try to have a son under the table another time. If things won't work out either, they just do it again and again! Then, they will be fined by the goverment again and again! At long last, these guys become poorer and poorer? After that, there are more guys than girls in China! Most of the time, the thing that I mentioned happened in some rural area. Most educated parents won't do that! Now the policy has been changed. Some people can have a second kid in reason if they want! Have a nice day!

Plus, no one will be forced to do the abortion! There are some iglegal test, by which they can know the kid on the way is female or male. Some parents found that they would have a daughter. So, they just gave up to give birth to her! This is stupid, I guess! I hate people with gender discrimination

Hi my friend Bombshell. Then it would probably be expensive for the couple. It might put a strain on their finances.

Many thanks for your fantastic response. So it would depend where the couple live. I think that it is wise to increase the number of minorities. I think abortion is horrible though. It is interesting that a couple in a country area might be able to have a second child if they have a daughter. I can see what you mean about the Chinese having preferential policies for an only child. So if Mr Y and Mrs Y are both only children they might be able to have the second baby. If they live in a country area they should be fine with having the second pregnancy. If they live in Beijing and the wife has a sister then is it true she would be given a fine?

Thanks for your fantastic response. I think that couples in urban areas like Beijing and Shanghai would try to have just the one child. I imagine most would abort a second unplanned baby but some might pay the fine. I understand that the lady wants to have a boy. China has some unwanted girls that have been abandoned. In country areas I think it might be more pleasant to live knowing that the one child policy is not in force there. It is fortunate that minority tribes are free to increase their population. Chinas residents face different rules depending on where the live.
