[i]H'mong ethnic teenager May Na (whose name has been changed to protect her identity) sits in the living room at a government-run centre for trafficked women in the northern Vietnamese city of Lao Cai, May 9, 2014[/i]
When Kiab turned 16, her brother promised to take her to a party in a tourist town in northern Vietnam. Instead, he sold her to a Chinese family as a bride.
The ethnic Hmong teenager spent nearly a month in China until she was able to escape her new husband, seek help from local police and return to Vietnam.
"My brother is no longer a human being in my eyes -- he sold his own sister to China," Kiab, whose name has been changed to protect her identity, told AFP at a shelter for trafficking victims in the Vietnamese border town Lao Cai.
Vulnerable women in countries close to China -- not only Vietnam but also North Korea, Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar -- are being forced into marriages in the land of the one-child policy, experts say.
China suffers from one of the worst gender imbalances in the world as families prefer male children.
As a result millions of men now cannot find Chinese brides -- a key driver of trafficking, according to rights groups.[/quote]
That's a damn shame.
What kind of low piece of shit do you have to be to sell your own sister? Or better yet sell a human being like they're property?
Yeah so it turns out that having a one child policy and culturally favouring males is a shit idea China, literally everyone called it decades ago.

It's a cold, inhuman policy, but how can any country handle such huge population ? Google says there are 1.357 billion Chinese now, without that policy there would be like 200-300 million more. It would probably be a bigger demographic problem than this now.

They could come up with all kinds of excuses (poverty, being the first one), but to me... there's just no excuse.

The guy's an animal but really you're assuming that the guy operates like a normal person, which just isn't accurate cause a normal person doesn't sell their sister to some random asshole for any amount of money so really even if he did justify we'd all be left sitting here thinking, "what?" one way or another.

They can't, really.
I mean they could do what they can to deal with the whole cultural preference for boys and that would probably help out a bit since then they wouldn't be "Sausage Fest: The Country," and literally need to ship in women from other places.

Sadly, this is something a lot of impoverished families do, a combination between seeing women as a burden and living hand to mouth.
It happens in India as well - [URL="http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Hyderabad/70yearold-arab-sheikh-marries-teenager-on-contract-arrested/article7067129.ece"]many women, some of them as young as 16 (and off the record, stories from the community say as young as 12) are sold to these old Arab men as brides for money[/URL]. The government claims to crack down on them, but the practise still continues.
this makes the "buying gf" meme slightly less funny

Yeah, you're right... I guess I gave that dude the benefit of the doubt.
We all gotta do our best to control world population.
Earth has only enough resources to support 2 billion people living at current european standards, and now that China is getting richer and richer they wanna up their lifestyle aswell. Add to that the fact that an american consumes 2 to 3 times as much as an european, and it starts to look scary.
It's gonna be a pretty big problem. Probably the biggest problem of this century...
Couples should stop having more than 2 children (especially china and india), americans should lower their absurd consumptions, and we can only hope for fusion reactors to become possibile asap.

Thing is, smart people are aware of these concerns, so they treat the subject with more care, and eventually, are the ones who have fewer (if any) children. The poor and uneducated are the ones fucking like rabbits, dragging us to overpopulation.
It truly is like Idiocracy, where the intelligent people didn't have any children, but the idiots had a *ton*.
it's much more a problem of china's culture than the one child policy
chinese culture has an enormous emphasis on family and if you're a middle aged guy with no family you're as good as dirt, no matter how successful or happy you are
funnily enough han chinese are pretty much casually xenophobic and basically view other asian ethnic groups as lesser beings

sex ed was non-existent in china until a few years ago and those who grew up during the mao era (the parents of today's generation) are extremely uneducated in these "western" matters

The problem is, there's also a massive culture that favours males. it's the reason why Chinese orphanages are more filled with women than men.
Basically the Chinese got out of whack (and they along with a lot of other asians) seem to be ignoring the fisher rule.

Imagine being a middle ages woman with no family in China.

The class-hatred is real.
[QUOTE=Pretiacruento;47692771]Nice strawman there, bro. But it's got nothing to do with that.[/QUOTE]
You're drawing a parallell between poverty and idiocy?
Rich people are hardly 'smarter'. They don't have less children because they're aware with the concerns of overpopulation at all. They have less children because their comfortable life situation don't demand their children to look out for them or help safeguard the family survival. There's simply no need for many children in rich societies.

the poor are having less children nowadays as well, although not to the same extend as the middle-class and the rich.

Class hatred or not, it's true.
[QUOTE=Sally;47692294]stop crossing memes with reality[/QUOTE]
More importantly stop calling everything a meme, these days if a joke is repeated more than 5 fucking times by different people it's apparently a meme.

That's the fault of the sexist culture, not the policy

Replace intelligent with wealthy and that's accurate, but to say "the idiots are all fucking" is very ignorant
