China Offered to send the US it's Women

This is a crazy excerpt that I just found that talks about Mao Zedong offering to give the U.S thousands or even 10 million of its women to the US because China has too many of them. This proposition is crazy!

State Department: Mao Zedong Offered to Send Millions of Chinese Women to U.S.
Friday, February 15, 2008

WASHINGTON � Amid a discussion of trade in 1973, Chairman Mao Zedong made what Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger called a novel proposition: sending tens of thousands, even 10 million, Chinese women to the United States.

"You know, China is a very poor country," Mao said, according to a document released by the State Department's historian office. "We don't have much. What we have in excess is women. So if you want them we can give a few of those to you, some tens of thousands."

A few minutes later, Mao circled back to the offer. "Do you want our Chinese women?" he asked. "We can give you 10 million."

After Kissinger noted Mao was "improving his offer," the chairman said, "We have too many women ... They give birth to children and our children are too many."

"It is such a novel proposition," Kissinger replied in his discussion with Mao in Beijing. "We will have to study it."

If I were Kissinger, I would be worried about Mao filling the ranks of those 10 million women with Red Guard cadets.

Exactly!  The 'offer' was accepted and the 'deal' has been in the process of being implement for decades now. 

Yes, I had heard the same, Many American men love to get women from other countries because they dont know their rights, or have different psychology that wouldn't allow they to require such; so they would put up with what American women wouldn't - llike no crediit or debit cards, no personal money, living in primitive conditions, giving all their money to their husbands, living under their full control, etc. - conditions that iin US are considered abuse, but are not so untypical for other countries, so women take them as granted, or accept them becaue living in a country they dont know they have no choice.

It's not about love, it's about convenience, most lamentabl; more of a simple math - wnat less, give more. Hopefully not all such cases are like that; but then how can one interpret being "fed up with white American women""?

This thread is getting as interracial as it can! 

I am fed up with American women too.  I find them needlessly demanding. Also, they don't age well because of the effects of the sun on light skin.  Chinese and Filipino women are HARDLY docile.  They just tend to look at marriage in a more practical and less romantic sense.  Thus it is easier to get married but just as hard to BE married.  I think of it as a market exchange.  The cost of entrance into the Market and your regular costs have to be low enough so that you can still profit in the venture.  Most American women have artificially inflated their value relative to non-American women and hence are no long competitive with the "imports."

Taking a serious look at the subject, the result of the Chinese "one family - one child" laws has been a huge shortage of women, which has lead to some civil unrest due to young men being unable to find wives.

Mao was basing his comments on the old customs of China, which did not value a female as much as a male because a female required a dowry to marry and left the household to work for her husband, whereas a male brought home a bride to help with the work at home.

OTH, CV, I will have to ask if a Chinese bride would be willing to shop at WalMart?
