Chinese authorities have tightened already rigorous Internet controls by cracking down on online pornography and what state media called “rumormongers” and “slanderous content.” […]

Xinhua said the government would also increase punishments for spreading rumors online, although it didn’t specify how it would do that. Already, Chinese courts can sentence people for up to three years in prison for writing online comments deemed defamatory. As part of the new campaign, the government has shut down websites and punished nearly 40 people it called rumormongers. …

The Chinese have a tendency to kill female babies and therefore there is a dearth of women of marriageable age in that country ... now they want to take away online porn ... rebellion to follow.

Dearth of women?

There are literally thousands of Chinese women who want to marry Western men. And they are all smoking hot.

And crazy. And very money and material oriented, some just greedy. They all want to wear Coach, drive BMW's etc. Everyday is a childish bragging rights as to who is the most rich. And imagine a culture that allows only one child. That child grows up spoiled and immature. Trust me, this is the voice of experience...

It seems that the Chinese and Russians are really cracking down on their populations. Something is up and it is NOT good.

No siblings. No uncles and aunts. No cousins. The only family are parents and grandparents, several generations back.

Today a few of our grandchildren were together at our house along with their parents. Interesting to see the give and take between them, and learning to share with their siblings and cousins. Those single children in China don't learn such concepts, and truly are messed up.

Abolition of the family! Even the most radical flare up at this infamous proposal of the Communists. …

Communist Manifesto, Chapter 2
The pro-family types will always be right and the communists eternally wrong on this matter. Without family, there is tyranny.
