I'm just saying that from my experience the census is horribly run. Can't see how it running any better in a more populated country.


Carefull now.  You may spend 5 years and jail and face a 250,000 dollar fine.

The article makes it sound as if the government is actually hiding it though.  That's the thing.

There is no reason for them to.


Nope, its meaning Chinese as in the overall people, not the government.

No. They don't get the rights of full citizens. They just get jobs.

Wow, this sounds so intelligent.

I'm sure with 100 million Chinese ppl there, proud ppl like you would be sent to do those dirty works with no health care instead.

I'm shocked to see comments like this on this website.


Explain why. My understanding of running a business is painfully limited, but, if we had a certain number of people producing goods without costing us money for health care, decent wages, etc. Would we not be better off? I could work as a manager at a factory instead of being the bum who presses the buttons. The Chinese would be paid a fraction of what I would be paid. And no costs for health care, if they get sick, they either die or get healthy again to work. If they donèt die, but stay sick, then after a certain amount of time we just force them to work until they die off.

I'm don't like arguments like this.

Reported.

Just a misleading block quote then.  Makes more sense.

Though I'm not sure other factors shouldn't be ruled out increasing it as well.

Besides missing a few babies just by the size of the country... getting back Hong Kong in 1997 should have affected the numbers a bit...

I met a girl from China, this year. Xin is the oldest of 3 children, she has a younger sister and brother. She told me that because of her father's occupation and social status, he was given an "allowance" of 2 children. So when his youngest, his son, was born, he was sent to live with Xin's uncle. When he was old enough to start high school, he came back to live with Xin's family and became her official "brother".

The fact that Chinese people are "hiding" their children is very very real. Apparently this is a common thing, to have your "surplus" children living with family members because you aren't in a position to keep them.I got it from a first-hand source.

:(
