Since Chinese communism worked like a pyramid with even the lowest people on the rung, the urban and village poor being subject to supervision by the local party official, it was these people, the ordinary people who suffered the most. And of course the rich and well-connected did as they always do in any society, which is whatever they damn well please.Ĭhinese policies do not seem to ever consider the people who will have to carry them out. Country folk need more hands to produce the rice the government is going to steal - so they were allowed two children.
And 53% of them were allowed (with enormous fines) to have a second child if the first was, sadly, a girl. The policy was only applied to 36% of the population anyway. This is despite figures proving that it was unnecessary and there could have been a policy of encouraging voluntary family control and contraception as was successfully carried out in Korea - the slogan was, ""Sons or daughters, let's have two children and raise them well.". The "One Child" policy was a useless policy that because of the egos of the politicians involved not wanting to lose face went ahead and caused misery for years and their children, overwhelmingly male, are suffering from it.
