Chinese Women Are Getting Weird Government Phone Calls Asking If They're Pregnant Yet: 'Things Are Getting Desperate'
Chinese women have been sharing their experiences receiving phone calls from government workers and officials, during which they are asked invasive questions about family planning and whether or not they are pregnant.
Government: Hello there Ji-Mun we have found 12 perfect bachelors for you to choose from. You must complete copulation by December. Here are their bios for your review we'll call you in 3 hours for your final engagement letter. Don't worry, marriage is not necessary.
They are practicing this in India if I am not wrong, but it is done by the parents. They are collecting CVs of prospective partners and sharing them with their kids. So it is like Tinder for parents kind of.
I also have a Pakistani colleague and he told me that they have a dating app, but for marriages. You see the profile of the girl/boy, where they share how many kids they want to have, etc.
I wish I was kidding, but what are the chances that China will become the first country to mass produce their new population via in vitro?
That still requires a surrogate at least, no in vitro can support all the way to viability yet. There would also need to be post-birth support for the kids to be useful to soxiety. Also essentially admitting the existing men aren't capable of having children. Expensive af too, so seems improbable.
Gonna leave this here from a reply I made to a similar thread weeks ago. China's demographics are in very bad shape.
This was mostly created by the one child policy that ran from 1979-2016, coupled with male child preference. In China, a male child is responsible for taking care of his own parents, while females are responsible for caring for their in-laws.
They also have a level of youth unemployment above 20%. Between a fifth and a quarter of those Zoomers are unemployed.
Makes me wonder whether they're expecting to lose a significant number of young men for some reason over the next few years as well. Gotta start planning for replacements early.
Honestly I don't think that is necessary to explain this. China is seeing the same issue as western countries with birth rates way below replacement, but it hardly has any of the immigration that mitigates it for (most of) Europe and North America. It's not easy for an economy to support an ever-increasing proportion of its population being retirees
Same energy
Have they tried letting Chinese citizens be free from totalitarianism the first time in their entire history?
Exactly. No one wants to have kids living in a totalitarianistic shit hole
Actually it is quite the opposite. But just look where the birth rate is growing. Usually it is poor, underdeveloped countries.
The more developed the nation, the more expensive the life is. Like in Munich, good luck having kids, where a 3-room apartment costs almost like the average salary. Then think for a second or third kid. No way.
Plus, we now have entertainment in our hands, 24/7, called mobile phones, be it Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, Facebook. Who wants a sloppy sex, when you can spend the time binge watching the latest TV series or having dopamine kicks from your favourite social media.
Best I can do is more restrictions on travel.
What's the opposite of forced abortions? Because given the history of the CCP that could be where this is heading.
Rape. Don't let anyone sugar coat it with any other word.
Which is why they're calling girls as young as 15.
What’s the opposite of forced abortions? Because given the history of the CCP that could be where this is heading.
"Decree 770 was a decree of the communist government of Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu, signed in 1967. It restricted abortion and contraception, and was intended to create a new and large Romanian population."
"To enforce the decree, society was strictly controlled. Contraceptives were removed from sale and all women were required to be monitored monthly by a gynecologist.[3]: 6 Any detected pregnancies were followed until birth. The secret police kept a close eye on hospital procedures. "
A consequence of Ceaușescu's natalist policy is that large numbers of children ended up living in orphanages, because their parents could not cope with looking after them. The vast majority of children who lived in the state-run orphanages were not actually orphans, like the name implies, but simply children whose parents could not afford or did not want to look after them.
So it often comes back to the economics of the situation. Kids used to make money, helping on the farm and stuff. Now kids cost a lot of money and paying women a substantial amount (and not the pizza party amounts) to have children is deemed economically nonviable.
Every single day there are these concern troll posts about China. We get it, China bad.
