Reasearcher unvocer Chinese database listing "BreedReady" status of women - Sensationalist Headlines

China Database Appeared to List Women's 'BreedReady' Status | Ti.. According to his research, the database stored women’s names, ages and marital status, among other particulars. The youngest member of the database was listed at 15 years old, while the average age was around 32. More than 80% of the women included appear to live in China’s capital, Beijing. In the screenshot Gevers posted, a field called “BreedReady” is last on the list, which also includes columns for “politics” and “education”. It’s unclear what the “BreedReady” term indicates, though Chinese netizens were quick to draw comparisons to the country’s panic over the plummeting birthrate and aging population.

I think it's pretty fucking obvious honestly.

I read it's possibly a database from a Chinese dating site that got hacked in 2015. This leak also contains Facebook profiles (even tho it's blocked in China, so it's odd) but that would kinda explain the "political" and "education" columns. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiayuan.com

could they have picked a creepier name?

That is a literally a name straight from dystopian movie shit

Hmm, perhaps a dating site for the elite? Lost somewhere in translation.

BreedReady and Social Credit is how China is going to create a caste system.

hasnt china always been a dystopia?

Only since European powers decided they wanted their shit, like uhh.. tea..

thats pretty fucking disturbing jesus christ

Having read the article, it appears not enough investigation has actually taking place before breaking this report. They really ought to investigate further before reporting, especially in this day and age. Even Gevers, the guy who found out about this, acknowledges this to some degree,

I'm just picturing Deus Ex Human Revolution being an actual thing in China, in a near future, but being even darker and doing even worser shit, like having women suspended in chambers and shit.

So after having a mandatory one-child law for decades and forcing countless women to abort their babies, they going to respond to the ensuing demographic crisis they created by coercing women to be babymakers. Of fucking course.

tbh at this point we still don't know whether this is from a dating site or a govt database

They could of just said fertile and made it slightly less creepy

Wouldn't it likely just be a bad translation though? I'm pretty sure a lot of Chinese dialects don't map very well to English.

The dating site leak seems the most obvious, but people do love throwing logic into the the toilet just so they can be mad at something.

People on reddit commented that it was probably just a poor translation of fertility. Some words don't translate very well, especially if the translator has a tenuous grasp on the language he's supposed to be translating to, or if a computer is doing an automatic translation which is often literal and without context.

the "unvocer" typo reminds me of "they revocer teh isotrope" form Quarter-Life

I think the Japanese and the Communists had a bigger impact than Europe ever has.

I hate how scared consumerist economies are of a steady population. How it has to be growing constantly to keep it all afloat.

Up until the British intentionally got the Chinese addicted to opium, China was arguably more powerful than any of the European powers at the time, but the British had a trade deficit with them over tea so they wanted to figure out a way to make it back and thus started illegally dealing drugs in China which lead further to the Opium wars as China didn't want that, which China lost. This caused the people's faith to be shaken in the Emperor which was a big problem with the Mandate of Heaven ideas still woven into the culture of China. Between this and the fact that literally anyone of even slight importance was addicted to opium, the Qing started into in an eventual decline, constantly being fucked with by the Europeans until finally the people had enough and started the Boxer rebellion... and we all know how that turned out. Arguably the main reason the Chinese revolted and deposed the emperor in the end was because of the influence Europeans had in the country. You're right that the Japanese have had a bigger and more direct impact by letting the Communists win the civil war, and obviously the communists have incredibly fucked things over, but this can all be traced back to the European influence on China.

I've noticed that this tends to happen here when it comes to China and Russia. Don't get me wrong, both of these countries have more than their fair share of questionable, or downright objectionable policies. It's just more fun to fill any thread involving China with "lol 1984", "no it's definitely Brave New World", or "wow it's just like Dues Ex guys", I guess.

My point was more you can't just blame Europe for literally everything. I'd say the massacre of 20 million Chinese at the hands of Japan and the resulting Communist revolution that rose up in response had a significantly more potent part to play in current Chinese affairs than the comparatively minor conflicts the European powers had with China prior. China would most likely have had a more reasonable development had the communists not been allowed a foot in the door from the depletion of forces due to the Japanese.

And China would have more likely been able to stand up against the Japanese and keep itself from falling apart had the Europeans not fucked it up. History is a series of events that connect one another and you can't just separate them. Minor conflicts can have just as massive impacts as bigger ones. European Imperialism shares some of the blame for what has happened in China.

its not europes fault https://pics.me.me/20-000-30-000-civilians-were-eaten-decisive-tang-strategic-victory-https-en-wikipedia-org-wiki-battle-of-suiyang-25997412.png

Considering the Chinese got their asses handed to them during the First Opium War, no they were not "arguably more powerful than any of the European powers at the time". They had the worlds largest economy but they had completely failed to keep up with the development of the west, or even modernized Japan, and their attempts at modernization failed catastrophically due to internal politics.

Simultaneously hilarious and disturbing.

Military power? Sure, but the Chinese had influence that spread all the way to Africa, with the words largest economy and the greatest amount of people. If the politics had been resolved, they easily could have caught up to the power of the Europeans much like the Japanese did, but due to the politics and the combination of the Europeans intentionally fucking with it to try to limit China's power, they fell behind.

right.
