Yeah, great society. They drown their unwanted children. By the way, is China a free society, or a totalitarian society?

The Communist Chinese, because of their "one child policy" have engendered the infanticide problem. From your rather shallow and facile reply methinks you are not actually thinking through your answers. Modern China doesn't hold itself to Confucianism any more, at least officially. That rather placid philosophy has been replaced by the more aggressive and inherently violent Maoism. Confucianism does form the basis of some of the more introspective philosophies of the region, but these are officially banned by the communists as they compete with the state for control of the individual's mind.
