At any rate, expect a steady flow of paid-for brides moving into China. Those billions of dollars sitting in China's central banks can only go one place, and we only have so many things they want to buy.
Less emotionally volatile than a bride and submissive to your every desire, we present the Tanjansu female concubot. Available in 20 different skin tones and with interchangeable head, torso and legs, you can mix and match to satisfy your daily kinky whim.
And Tanjansu can cook! Modules are available for 16 varieties of Chinese, Japanese and McDonald's cuisine.
Help avoid testosterone-induced social strife. Ensure domestic tranquility and do your part to bring China forward, to enhance Chino-Japanese relations and to lower your libido today. Only 110,000 yuan (basic model).
Most men (and we are mostly men here, are we not?) don't usually seek hours in conversation with women. Such I deem a sign that one is unsucessful in mating.
And most men do not wish to be constrained to fucking any one particular being be it robot or human: http://nymag.com/relationships/sex/47055/
But for most Chinese men, they only like East Asians. So most porns there are made from Japan, Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Of course some of them now import some girls from Ukraine for brides when they make big money. But that's rare. Most of them thought American females are too large for them to handle.
-Small number of, seriously old, think in the 90 year old range, guys get together and decide they've had it with the 70 year old president. China's economy is only growing at 10% a year, or something ridiculous like that. Their stock exchanges only offer up surges in the 40-50% range per year, and GOSH DARNIT!! 'How long can the shareholders be reasonably expected to tolerate such pitiful returns?' They lament. 'China's future is at stake!!!' 'That means our CHILDREN are at stake!!!' 'Why they may even have to clean their own toilets!!!' 'Won't someone think of the CHILDREN!!!'
-To address this crisis in the portfolios of the Chinese people . . . er . . . I mean . . . crisis in the leadership of the Chinese people. They have found some spritely, dynamic, new young blood, by young I mean 60, and they say he is the new guy in charge.
-All the leaders of the communist party, being obedient mentees of these old guys, sing the new guy's praises, elect him president, and the old guy goes home. (Only not really . . . see he'll BE one of those old guys now, so he'll ALWAYS have some influence)
Bit of an oversimplification, but not much. When I first studied this I thought, 'man this sounds JUST like the process of a board of directors'. But if the rest of the world wants to call it a political system, who am I to question? Fine, it's a political system.
An interesting test might be to try to get China to do what we want another way. Let's forget about armies, and navies, and Taiwan, and democracy, and demonstrations. Let's try causing a blip in their quarterly results. I'd imagine the speed with which change would come would make our heads spin. That's just my theory though.
I think it is foolish to argue that China should be more democratic. People today forget how dangerous democracies are that don't have systematic anti-jingoistic indoctrination. Read the history of how universal suffrage in Europe from 1880-1914 led to the rise of militarist-nationalist politicians ( Stephan Zweig's The World of Yesterday is a great book on this topic). Do we really want to see the Chinese equivalent of Bill O'Reilly and Ernst Lissauer? I'll take the 90 year old men, thank you very much ...
Believe me, I feel more safe going to sleep every night knowing that China is run by boring, old, stodgy, conservative men who are anything but rash.
China will reform eventually, as soon as a president decides that his successor will be democratically elected.
At the same time. I read frequently from Chinese news that government officials under 60s charged with corruptions. Most of them have several mistresses and had a child with each of them. I don't think that will be counted officially since in China such non martial relationships are not legal.
So the only way I can think that a custom like that can survive is if people have no way to control the sex of children. But now suddenly they do.
It is hard to explain to people from the new world just how powerful culture can be. Old world tribal customs culture, not Mozart and Voltaire culture. You can fight and break laws, but do not ever break customs!
I've heard people say that a Chinese proverb about raising girls is something about watering someone else's garden. I worry things like that will go away only if the ancient customs' back is truly broken.
Let the ratio of girls to boys go completely out of hand. Then sit back and watch an old stupid custom die a painful death.
On the other hand. I really wish the old tradition in china goes away. There was a time in the 20th century when both Communists and Nationalists in China pushed forward gender egalitarian agenda. But it only reached urban area and the people in country sides are still deeply rooted in old tradition (but at the same time, we all know the people in country side have to favor male off springs for agriculture purpose) So we are watching a very big experiment in society that may last for 100 years.
Also in this http://www.spiegel.de/international/europe/0,1518,559284,00..... It seems even Scandinavians are mixed heritage.
But wars before were contained in regional provinces or mainland. Considering now China owns nuclear war heads and ICBMs. Then any one who is crazy enough will be a threat to U.S.A. and neighbors of China. Especially U.S.A. was considered as a potential enemy by them.
It is the same thing like U.S.A didn't need to care who those Wahhabi jihadists before. But now they project their anger on U.S. and have means to create collateral damage in U.S.A. Then it becomes nuisances to U.S.
(P.S. I am a half Chinese and half Taiwanese in U.S.A.)
This is a ticking time bomb, both there and in India

Why this is considered offensive? Will anyone tell me?
Solve two in one: start a war with, or Kosovo-style-people-flood Taiwan and Tibet.
WTF! Knives?! These guys are hardcore.
