Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire China's former 1-child law has another consequence

Some things never change, and very few people remember stories of the massed charges of Chinese soldiers in Korea, with only one of every three carrying rifles. The other two were screaming and blowing bugles, and were supposed to retrieve the rifle from a fallen comrade and press on. A seemingly endless supply of troops would overrun American positions with sheer mass of numbers. My landlord for a time was a medic in Korea, and he said the machine gunners in his unit kept a stash of spare barrels and got really good at changing melted-down barrels in the middle of a firefight. Does anyone really think China wouldn't repeat that kind of tactics?

Still cheaper than a divorce, in the US.

Surplus to marriage, yes. Not surplus to supporting the aged-out populace and working.

I don't think those bachelors are useless, just screwed. Figuratively

Technology can offset numbers pretty significantly.

No matter how good the technology, I really don't think silicone wives will ever offset the low number of available women.

And that's the real problem. Chinese parents have not stomach for war since they have no "back up" kids. The loose the one and their family line is extinguished, forever.

So, as pointed out, what do you think the parents et al can do about it? They believe whatever their media tells them to believe, the media isn't ever going to tell them all, or even much truth, they have no effective weapons or organization, the leaders, army, police have all the power. "No stomach for war" - well who does? Except the ones who don't have to actually fight.

They ain't gonna do squat, even if they want to They are an enslaved nation, and we are getting there ourselves. Maybe we are already, most people just don't know it. The elites do, tho.

War is a very good way to test weapons, get rid of obsolete weaponry (or not so obsolete) lose population (easing economic stresses), stimulate the economy ( manufacturing new or replacement weapons, etc), and of course creating a crises to "unite the people" behind the government.

Google Lying Flat.

The the problems of the CCP are growing.

Ha! I know from personal experience that Chinese men absolutely hate to see one of their gals with a White
Devil. We were at an art fair a few years back, and a Chinese artist wouldn’t even look at my wife when she spoke to him. Another mixed couple we met there said that happens to them all the time.

That old rule had exceptions based on ethnicity, location, and position. My wife has five brothers.

Yes, the Chi-coms try to control everything that reaches their subjects, from information to goods. Ironically, the CCP appears to be VERY sensitive to displays of civil unhappiness. The government in China responds comparatively quickly to demonstrations, first by stomping on the demonstrators, but also by stomping on whatever/whomever created the discontent. The government acts like they do not have confidence that they can withstand any serious popular discontent.

One moment the Soviet Union was there. Then a slight stumble and within two weeks, shattered into fragments.

Wrong. These are young males without wives. They are surplus. You need to look at the population of China by gender. They have way more males than females and those will be cannon fodder. Engage your grey matter.

People in power fear nothing more than being powerless.
It is a drug, in many cases life. For the CCP, they know it literally
is their life. Power, or death.

No people are ever controlled. They yield power.
From the US of the past, to the Chinese.


Prisons, to schools.


Mussolini, to Gaddafi.

Large scale war would bring many hardships, couple that with
losing the entire family line, Momma ain't gonna be happy.


But we are all talking out out butts, based on our perceptions.
Context, real or propaganda, would rule.

The length of a conflict would matter a lot too.

Easy to get support for future action, losing the son is theory only.
And everyone thinks it will happen to someone else.
Let it simmer a few years, everyone seeing many families lose that son.
Every Mom living in terror of getting that news...

Who would have believed the "Domestic Vietnam" experience could play
out in 1959? The worst effects were isolated to a few cities and
colleges. Much of America never turned, but they did lose confidence
in leadership. As news from the protest areas kept coming, as the
number of lost and wounded young men grew, more and more
people started asking "Why".

The China of today isn't USA 1970.
It is much different than China 1970. The time past since the worst
hardships, the more recent economic successes, the loosening of
many controls, increased (but limited) access to information...

But here we are trying to predict the actions of a billion people 10,000
miles away. With as much expected accuracy as the know everything's who
spend hours telling us how a 1 hour football game will go.

This ^^ x 100

Then who supports their parents in old age?

Nice pic Rock Chuck.

So, I've read that the 1 child policy was about China prepping for war despite the social consequences. What better scenario than to have a surplus of fighting age males come go time?
Also, you think China has gender transitioning, tide pod eating and piss poor education standards for their citizens? Also, none of them, I've heard, had to take an mrna injection.
Whos playing chess and who's playing checkers?

The only relief I see is to invade another country and take their women. Mostly males will be killed but that should even up the odds a bit.

kwg

Preparing for war had nothing to do with it. They bought into the leftist overpopulation lie that we see today as the religion of global climate change.

Their dictator does not care, he gets all the pouzzy he wants.
