Remember, yesterday, when I pointed out an anti-human article advocating that the whole world go on China’s evil “one child” policy? Well, here’s the kicker:
Wang Weijia and her husband grew up surrounded by propaganda posters lecturing them that “Mother Earth is too tired to sustain more children” and “One more baby means one more tomb.”
They learned the lesson so well that when Shanghai government officials, alarmed by their city’s low birthrate and aging population, abruptly changed course this summer and began encouraging young couples to have more than one child, their reaction was instant and firm: No way.
“We have already given all our time and energy for just one child. We have none left for a second,” said Wang, 31, a human resources administrator with an 8-month-old son.
More than 30 years after China’s one-child policy was introduced, creating two generations of notoriously chubby, spoiled only children affectionately nicknamed “little emperors,” a population crisis is looming in the country.
The average birthrate has plummeted to 1.8 children per couple as compared with six when the policy went into effect, according to the U.N. Population Division, while the number of residents 60 and older is predicted to explode from 16.7 percent of the population in 2020 to 31.1 percent by 2050. That is far above the global average of about 20 percent.
And not only that, there is the imbalance between men and women. Chinese culture, as in the case of a lot of non-western culture, highly values male children – and, so, as one-child became the rule, more and more couples would abort female babies in favor of male children. The Culture of Death is just like that – everything about it is wrong, and all of its effects are bad.
It is high time that we stopped thinking that we can get justice out of injustice – that right will emerge from wrong. Doing the right thing almost invariably seems to be more difficult, but as facts come in, it is always revealed that it was the best thing to do. Life is a wonderful thing – even at its worst, it is still sublime. We’re always doing the wrong thing, these days. Faced with teen pregnancy, we teach them how to have sex. Faced with a growing underclass, we subsidize it. Faced with historic injustice, we apply further injustice. Perhaps we should just try to do the right thing, from now on?
