Could you even begin to imagine China adopting a western culture of growth? Subsidizing unwed mothers, and encouraging a welfare state based on oppressive taxation?

And if that’s was insane enough - to begin importing thousands and even millions of hostile enemy “refugees” because these peoples contribute nothing to the nation, they increase the welfare roles, and they will shift all social laws, customs and values to a barbaric base in just one generation.

I found some US v. China welfare stats. Quite interesting.

 

Shock Report: US Spends 30 Times More on Welfare Benefits Per Person Than Communist China

 

~snip~

 

According to the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security of the People’s Republic of China, the total amount of outflows for China’s social programs in 2011 was $287 billion USD.  On the other side of the Pacific, the US spent somewhere between $1.7 and $2.1 trillion USD in 2011 on health, welfare and pension (old age) benefits.

When comparing the US numbers to China’s the results are very clear.  The US spent nearly seven times as much on social programs in 2011 than China.  According to the World Atlas as of 2010, China had a population of 1.3 billion people and the US had a population of 310 million. Based on these numbers, China had more than four times the number of people living within its borders than did the US in 2010.  The result of this comparison is to point out that the US conservatively paid 30 times more per capita to its citizens in the form of social benefits than did the socialist country China in 2011.

more....

The Chinese are smart people.

Who on earth do they think is going to bear the sons in the future if girls aren’t born?

I don’t get it.

Japan's women. Taiwan's women. Get the picture?

You’ll see more families tolerate one daughter so the next can be a son. The gender ratio will still be skewed to the male side, since many families will welcome two boys but almost none two daughters, but it won’t be AS bad.

I wonder if this is China’s way to prop up the economy. A hundred million women all having their second kid, buying all that stuff for the kid, and many dropping out of the workforce to raise the kids so the employment situation for those still working improves ...

That's why the people from these nations should not be allowed to enter America.

Lol. I love it when they come here. They become acquainted with CLEAN, ORDERLY, LAW ABIDING and all that good stuff. When they go back home they get reacquainted with filthy and chaos. They are never the same.

NOTHING wrong with the third world seeing what life can be like. We ain't perfect but my, oh my, there is NO PLACE on the planet like the West, especially the USA. NO PLACE.

I actually agree with the idea of discouraging unmarried mothers.

So do I. Unmarried mothers won't teach their sons how to be MEN, how to be FATHERS-daddies. They will teach them to continue the chaos of daddy-less children...and THAT is a sure-fire predictor of problem MEN.

the US conservatively paid 30 times more per capita

The per capita income in China is about 1/6 that of the US... meaning that we still pay about five times more per welfare dependent, even adjusting for the cost of living.

And our corporate tax rate is higher, and our individual tax rates are higher, and our top-end individual tax rates are much higher, than those in China.

From each according to their ability, to each according to their needs!
