China reinforces one-child stance (BBC)
Hundreds of people in central China have been expelled from the Communist Party for violating the one-child policy, state media has reported.

More than 90,000 people in Hubei province defied the policy in 2007, Xinhua news agency said.

These included 1,678 officials and party members, the agency said. Of these, 500 had been expelled from the party and 395 stripped of their posts.

China implemented the policy, to curb population growth, in the late 1970s.

Urban couples are limited to one child, while rural couples may have two if the first is a girl.

and the point is lost on many.

2. Once again...
explain to me why uber-patriotic pro-life pro-Christian pro-free-market Republicans are scrambling over themselves to send all of our industry and borrow federal budgetary money from a non-American, pro-abortion (not pro-choice) aethist/Buddist Communist country?

Just a point to ponder, that's all...
