There is an article from 9:00 PM this day, "Why China's Marriage Crisis Is An Existential Threat To The Country" https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4106860/posts

From the perspective of Patrick Woods' technocracy.news
In 1970, Zbigniew Brzezinski wrote "Between Two Ages: America's Role in the Technetronic Era", the major content of the "Trilateral Commission" section of his Wikipedia biography. He established the Trilateral Commission in 1974 with David Rockefeller in 1974.
About this time, Nixon visited China. Mao had died. China's ancient culture was razed by the Cultural Revolution. Milton Friedman was preaching the gospel of capitalism to Chinese Communist apparachiks, (though there's much less difference between capitalism and communism than is commonly understood). China was a tabula rasa, a blank table, able to be incorporated into the world system if, as I will speculate here, it could conform to the West's population control policies to be granted admission to the major leagues by the authorities of the World Bank and the Rockefellers' Population Foundation. Deng Xiao Peng used a technocrat, rocket scientist Song Jian, to devise the One Child Policy.
Was the One Child Policy China's Ticket to Play in the Majors? The death toll of the One Child Policy is probably incalculable but may exceed half a billion, mostly girls. It was speculated that the resulting sex-imbalance grown to adulthood is a causus belli, a cause of war, of which especially the Korean and Vietnamese people have yet to feel the full effects as the demand for women is liable to be a major factor in the Chinese Communist Party's drive for continued domination of the country.
The Rockefellers were obsessed with population control, after the Protestant ruling class in America declined in influence, after failing to heed Theodore Roosevelt's 1905 warning that they were committing "race suicide" by engaging in contraception. They were not going to go down alone. They worked behind the scenes to get Catholics to use contraception. Henry Kissinger, a Rockefeller associate, wrote the 1970 National Security Memorandum 200 making worldwide population control the official policy of the U.S. Government.
It can take centuries to work out causes of wars. China has a centuries long memory of humiliation by the British in the Opium Wars 1839-1842; they may justifiably perceive later 19th century corporate interest as Anglo-American, after the transference of power from the London equivalent of Wall St., The City, from Junius Morgan in London to his son J.P. Morgan in New York. Close British and American cooperation, at a very intimate level, lasted well into the 20th century, the time in the 1940s when the Rockefellers were promoting Mao through their agent Owen Lattimore at the Institute of Pacific Relations. Their motive may have been opening the vast labor and land resources of continental East Asia to world markets, using, not the pro-American Chinese Nationalists, but the more ruthless Communists. Much of the same history pertains to the exploitation of Russia, after New York banker Jacob Schiff bailed the Bolsheviks out of a 1920 crash.
The ancient Greek historian Polybius, writing about the time of the Punic Wars between Rome and the Phoenician-cultural Carthaginians, with their ritual child sacrifice into the red-hot arms of Moloch like demon-gods, Baal Hammon and Tanit. Polybius criticized late Greeks for being so selfish that they wouldn't have children, dooming their society. There may be common traits between our end-stage society and various ancients who died-out due to cultural and moral decay.
Depopulation of Greece
As I blame those who assign fortune and destiny as the Limits to the belief of the direct interference of Providence in human affairs. moving causes in common events and catastrophes, I wish now to enter as minutely on the discussion of this subject as the nature of an historical work will admit. Those things of which it is impossible or difficult for a mere man to ascertain the causes, such as a continuous fall of rains and unseasonable wet, or, on the contrary, droughts and frosts, one may reasonably impute to God and Fortune, in default of any other explanation; and from them come destruction of fruits, as well as long-continued epidemics, and other similar things, of which it is not easy to find the cause. On such matters then, we, in default of a better, follow the prevailing opinions of the multitude, attempting by supplications and sacrifices to appease the wrath of heaven, and sending to ask the gods by what words or actions on our part a change for the better may be brought about, and a respite be obtained for the evils which are afflicting us. But those things, of which it is possible to find the origin and cause of their occurrence, I do not think we should refer to the gods. I mean such a thing as the following. In our time all Greece was visited by a dearth of children and generally a decay of population, owing to which the cities were denuded of inhabitants, and a failure of productiveness resulted, though there were no long-continued wars or serious pestilences among us. If, then, any one had advised our sending to ask the gods in regard to this, what we were to do or say in order to become more numerous and better fill our cities,—would he not have seemed a futile person, when the cause was manifest and the cure in our own hands? For this evil grew upon us rapidly, and without attracting attention, by our men becoming perverted to a passion for show and money and the pleasures of an idle life, and accordingly either not marrying at all, or, if they did marry, refusing to rear the children that were born, or at most one or two out of a great number, for the sake of leaving them well off or bringing them up in extravagant luxury. For when there are only one or two sons, it is evident that, if war or pestilence carries off one, the houses must be left heirless: and, like swarms of bees, little by little the cities become sparsely inhabited and weak. On this subject there is no need to ask the gods how we are to be relieved from such a curse: for any one in the world will tell you that it is by the men themselves if possible changing their objects of ambition; or, if that cannot be done, by passing laws for the preservation of infants.
One child policy is a sham. I made business with the Chinese family 20+ years ago. They had one son with a certificate of birth and several more undocumented children.
Mao Zedong died in September 1876, more than two years after Nixon left office.
I work with the man who discovered the policy? And was punished by Stanford University for exposing it. Even if there were exceptions in what was then the most populous country on Earth doesn’t mean the policy didn’t exist and it was horrible. Why are you such a shill for communism?
“Mao Zedong died in September 1876, more than two years after Nixon left office.”
1876 is a typo.
Mao died September 9, 1976. Nixon left the office of President August 9, 1974. The author’s story is not well researched or the author is intentionally fudging the timeline of events.

So what?

Or it is a typo
I have wondered if China’s participation with the COVID/Vax crisis isn’t more driven by a desire not to be left behind. Maybe they know what is coming to them and wish to inflict it on the rest of the world, rather than suffer alone.
For Chinese over 30, the sex ratio is the normal 105 males per 100 females. For Chinese under 30, the ratio varies but is between 110 and 116 males per 100 females for various cohorts.

The sex ratio is probably less of a problem in China than it is in Islamic countries where males marry multiple females.
Did the one child policy raise several generations of spoiled brats?
The author of the article gets many things wrong.
What is clear, is the people who claim to be able to predict the future, can't and are constantly undone by unforeseen consequences.
“Mao Zedong died in September (1976), more than two years after Nixon left office.”
That was a weird thing for the article to state, considering the first person Nixon met getting off the plane in Peking was Mao.
I read a article recently identifying a shortage of women in China, which according to the article will effect troop numbers and may have societal impacts beyond just the military.
“Or it is a typo”
I stated it is a typo. My comment about the author wasn’t referring to the poster who made the typo. It was referring to the author of the article.
What was the name of that man and what is he doing today? I remember they persecuted him claiming he had stolen a truck to use to get out to the countryside to see the effects of the one child policy. All trumped up charges.
They better keep some robots for themselves.
There’s even an opera called “Nixon in China” with a major scene called ‘The Chairman Dances’ where the actor playing Mao dances to a foxtrot.
The brats are called ‘Little Emporers’ and would probably make lousy husbands and fathers even if they could get married.
