China should subsidize girl babies.

I keep reading that Chinese kill their newborn girls. From the stand point
of a male suitor, that should be offensive, since there will be fewer women
from which to choose a mate. Since China has a limit on the number of
children a couple can have without penalty, I think China should throw in an
incentive to couples to keep their girls. What a horrible thing to do to
kill any new born baby, and simply because it is a girl! China is the king
of welfare - it is a communist country, at least in name. Really, it's a
fascist country - totalititarian with a capitalist economy. But its welfare
priorities could shift to do something moral - encourage couples to not
abort their children by PAYING them to have girls in preference to boys.

Perhaps this would be a little like affirmative action - giving girls the
opportunity to live, since boys already have that opportunity. But like
affirmative action in the US, it could be at least temporary, until
attitudes change.

In China the male earns the most money! They are to take care of the parents
in their old age.
The Chinese pension system is to blame.
My wife, who is mainland Chinese, mother is a retired doctor her pension is
900rmb(116 USD) per month and her father is a retired accountant pension is
1200rmb(154 USD) per month.
The Chinese "one child policy" does have some loop-holes and are now being
exploited, if you have the child born in a Hong Kong hospital, then it is
not considered a mainland born
so it is exempt.
I've lived in China for 4 years, and can understand the need for a male
child, it may not be right but this is the mentality of the Chinese.
