In reality, the Western world (America in particular as we have decided to side with TAIWAN and not mainland China), demonizes China and the One Child Policy. While I don't necessarily agree with the legislation, the fact of the matter is, the country is so ridiculously large that China cannot actually enforce this policy. As soon as one wanders from the major cities an into the outskirts rural life (which is the larger population of China, by the way), you see large family with more than one child. The fact of the matter is, China does not have the funds to enforce the One Child Policy nationally; it's more of a way to extract funds from the rich couples/family of the big cities (bribing runs absolutely rampant in China). Not that I support the One Child Policy, mind you, but the legislation itself has been slanted and spun by the American media to feed into our own issues with Chinese misogyny and Civil Rights issues.

The issues that China has in terms of its female population are far more ingrained than its recently-enforced One Child Policy; as I have mentioned before in this Thread, it's not that Asia specifically targets women; it's that Asia has defines Women as being the weaker sex and as being subservient to men, not equal. It's a more complicated subject when you actually look into its origin permeation in society. It's not that China hates women; it's that for hundreds of years, women have been sub-human in comparison to their male counterparts. Considering how incredibly old this society and culture is in compared to America, it's not that easy to say, Hey, what you've been doing for HUNDREDS OF YEARS is WRONG. Think about it in that context; it'll just take them more time to change.

How much more time? And even if they interpret is as viewing as the weaker sex isn't that a subcategory of dislike or hate. In other words in order for us to have a favorite of something we like something a bit more; so if we don't love it as much we on the other hand dislike/hate it a little; so technically wouldn't the Chinese culture (maybe not in actuality) but in theory hate women?--because this seems to be the corelation.
