CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JANUARY 18, 2024
COMMUNIST CHINA WANTS MORE OF ITS WOMEN TO HAVE MORE BABIES. IT IS THE IRONY OF IRONIES.
AFTER YEARS OF IMPOSING A ONE-CHILD POLICY TO CONTROL ITS BURDGEONING POPULATION, WHICH INCLUDED FORCED ABORTIONS FOR THOSE GETTING PREGNANT A SECOND TIME, THE COMMUNIST REGIME IS WORRIED ITS POPULATION IS SHRINKING. ITS ECONOMY IS ALSO IN TROUBLE. WHAT WOULD ONE EXPECT FROM AN OFFICIALLY ATHEIST REGIME THAT TREATS HUMAN LIFE AS A COMMODITY AND NOT AS SOMETHING VALUABLE BECAUSE WE ARE MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD, WHO BREATHS LIFE INTO US AND HAS PURPOSE FOR US BEYOND SERVICE TO THE STATE?
CHINESE WOMEN ARE NOT COOPERATING FOR MANY REASONS. THE SINKING ECONOMY IS ONE AND THEY DON’T KNOW IF BEIJING WILL CHANGE ITS MIND. MAYBE THEY WOULD COME AFTER THE SECOND CHILD OR THIRD CHILD IF THEY WANTED TO. WHO IS TO STOP THEM?
OUR ATTENTION IS ON THE MIDDLE EAST, HAMAS, THE HOUTHIS, IRAN AND OTHER BAD GUYS. CHINA IS UNDER THE RADAR, BUT AS MANY COMMENTATORS WHO ARE PAYING ATTENTION HAVE SAID, THE REGIME IN BEIJING IS THE BIGGEST EXTISTENTIAL THREAT TO AMERICA AND THE WORLD. I’M CAL THOMAS
