#onechildpolicy — Public Fediverse posts

Scientists who have never been to #China have been surprised by the ‘sudden’ dominance of #Chinese universities in world rankings of #Science and #Engineering departments, as well as the tables of contents of journals with high #ImpactFactors.

In 1979, China instituted its #OneChildPolicy and subsequently invested heavily in #education.

Meanwhile, #Texas built high school football stadiums costing over $70 million and the Duggars were the model #American family! https://www.businessinsider.com/duggar-family-scandals-controversies-19-kids-and-counting-2021-5 🤷🏻‍♂️

"Lin and Sun studiously maintain the enigma around Shuo so that we are left guessing as to whether he’s just a disadvantaged teen trying to make his way in the world or a cuckoo in the nest." - we take a look at Brief History Of A Family https://www.eyeforfilm.co.uk/review/brief-history-of-a-family-2024-film-review-by-amber-wilkinson #berlinale #film #movies #Berlinale2024 #OneChildPolicy

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

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

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.
