Topic: China Offered to send the US it's Women Posted: 16-Feb-2008 at 05:16 |
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."

Crazy indeed,  but I don't believe it's logistically realistic for either China to transport that many women or for the US to receive them. Besides, because of female infanticide, isn't that country short on women now?

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.

My Anglo neighbors (2 of whom married Filipinas and one a Chinese mainlander woman) said they got fed up with white American women. Mao didn't have to propose, it is already happening as we speak!

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""?

^Some of it is psychological or hurt wounds too. I know some young white American guys who confided that seeing so many young white girls in the hands of black and Hispanic men (esp. in nightlife bars/clubs) have so repulsed them to the point that they are no longer attracted to white women (psychologically and hence physically). Often they turn toward Oriental/Asian women as a response

You can't take what Mao said too seriously. He was a poet and often made crazy comments.

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." I guess, in the end, Mao did eventually send 10 million Chinese women to the US.

I don't need or want their thanks. I will make all of my decisions based on my interests alone which means allowing myself to be as subjective and biased as I want to be in order maximise my advantage and now that of my family as well.

That may be acceptable in your mind but not necessarily acceptable here. And it remains a subjective, biased and ridiculously overgeneralised statement. Be aware of the Coc...for you haven't been active for a while....consequently in particular pay attention to the following: B. Inappropriate posting 3. Trolling; Trolling is the act of posting witty, response-provoking comments that appear relevant in order to disrupt the discussion, annoy or create attention. Trolling can also be considered as Spam, inflammatory remarks, or annoyance. 5. Rude insults, defamatory remarks, offensive images, cursing, profanity intended as an insult towards another member, personal attacks, words of hate. Any remarks that stirs up anger. In dealing with flame wars, comments that started the flame war will have more weight in terms of violation. Unacceptable remarks can take the form of direct messages disparaging a religious or national group, indirect messages overly promoting one's religious affinity or national group, and/or a more implicit attack, written against a particular political, cultural, or historical aspect of that religious or national group. Your initial post is perilously close to being in violation of both sub sections. Who determines this? Among others.... I do. Your recourse. PM the Admin-owner for clarification . That remains your option. What does not is your challenging, in open forum, this now official warning on my part. Your recourse there is the same.... PM the Admin-owner for redress. If you do not, I will suspend you for trolling and failing to follow a staff directive. CV Moderator

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?
