Each newly married couple has four parents to care for and potentially 8 grandparents, as well as children. That is a huge burden on a culture that has strong taboos about not honoring and caring for their own elders.

Remove the heavy burden and suddenly the economy is booming and a billions are saved in end of life care amd social programs.

Funny enough I was just reading about how China shot themselves in the foot with the one child policy. By 2030 the average Chinese citizen will be 40 years old.

Not anymore <:hyperthink:591182142189338655>

They jave destroyed their demographics.

They want to start a consumer economy like that of the US but they don't have enough of a middle class to consume.

Theres also the cultural stuff they want gone.

A lot of the Chinese equivalent of boomers are also very stingy and cheap.

They also hold on to old Pre-Commie ideas, behaviors and practices.

Of which the party wants gone. Completely.

Confucian values are shitty so I don't really have a problem with that

There's also the fact that well. The Chinese people are very, very angry and disillusioned at the party. Apparently the common scheme is that, a company starts, people are hired, people aren't paid, company folds. The company starts under a new name and rinse and repeat.

And there's no recourse for the workers who are otherwise cheated.

china got fucked by mao's reactionary tendencies

Chinese people are just naturally like this

Pre revolutionary china was just as brutal

They have a low value of human life.

you don't see this shit in Taiwan or Hong Kong

@Iron The PRC is trying to bring back the old culture.
I heard this story of a Chinese MMA fighter that he PRC hated because "MMA is a barbarous western martial art" and they had him fight a "martial artist" trained in Tai Chi and had the Tai Chi guy win despite the MMA guy beating his face bloody.
There is also this law that requires any piece of media release in China to conform to chinese culture.

@calico maos reactionary tendencies?? what

I know of no ti chi MMA fighter, there is one who trains like all others and challenges esoteric types.who channel chi to a fight, and wind brutally and publically.

Chinese culture has also changed, its not pre-mao, ite party line culture.
