Aside from all the politic shit. They tried to end my existence via the enforcement of the One Child Policy. I was the 2nd child in my family, they nearly ended me.
Thank god I got lucky and somehow lived.
Not the user you responded to, but I got a vendetta against PRC, it’s personal.
My mom told me the first hand account of how women would just get forced abortions.
Like there are lots of women that was pregnant with their 2nd unapproved child, then the government found out and they’d force you go get an abortion.
My mom managed to hide me till like month 8 of the pregnancy, then like someone found out but they turned one eye blind and didn’t report it.
I mean I don’t exactly understand the full story either, its not like mom wrote a diary on it.
Basically it was a combination of many factors that lead to me surviving.
There was an issue of jurisdictions, they mostly left it local governments to enforce, mom was from Taishan and she was working in Guangzhou when she had me, and she was supposed to submit a pregnancy test every 3 months and send results back to their hometown. But mom told me she got another woman to take the pregnancy test for her under her name.
So like, the people working for the Guangzhou government didn’t enforce it as harshly because she wasn’t registered in their Hukou.
Perhaps a god exists and they intervened? idk, not really that religious…
I barely lived, and yes there’s a fine, like somewhere in the ¥20000-¥30000 rmb which was a lot in the 2002s.
That’s a strategy but it will inevitably lead to war because the most populous countries will conquer their neighbors to feed their population. So all countries have to promote having children which accelerates the arrival of the conflict.

I thought the penalty was a fine?
That’s if they don’t catch you.

The west does the same. They don’t call it one child policy but rent.
In your opinion, what would have been the alternative? A bigger population would have made it much more difficult for China to achieve food security.
So by categorically denying my right to existence even though my mom wanted me, its somehow essential to China’s development?
Last I checked, most western countries doesn’t go around snatching women off the streets and performing abortions against their will.
Unless they’re Indigenous.

How about: Government shouldn’t be able to intervene in family planning
It’s one thing to encourage or discourage births, its a whole other thing to force IUDs, force sterillizarions, forced abortions.
Btw, please don’t take my arguments personal. I like to read your comments on lemmy. I am glad that you got through the system.
So… just a fun day playing Devil’s Advocate, gotcha.
