| Democracy or not. Governments never like to admit mistakes they have made. The result is always the same. That is the common people will suffer. ie, Bush Administration invading Iraq. JS did not mention the pain and suffering of the one child policy enough. Forced abortions were routine. To make sure they don't have to do that again, force sterilization was a regular practice. Pregnant women with their second child use to go into hiding fearing that they would be caught. Fines were very heavy which amount to years of Annual income. The lucky ones that escape forced abortions in the village, no land was given to them to farm on or to grow rice/food with. That means, the newborn do not exist and have to get a little food from each of the family members's plate. That is if you can call them lucky, causing psychological scars that will never heal. |
