I find it a bit odd how accepted a child mandate has become when it comes from the CCP with the global community.

For instance, it seems that a large reason that China is hesitant to lift any limits whatsoever is a belief that rural women will have large families and urban women will not and that this would be 'unfair'. This cant help but feel like a eugenics argument about not wanting to swamp the gene pool with 'low IQ rural undesirables'.

What would be the foreign response if some of the more distasteful ideas behind mandated birth rates were brought to the fore-front:

* 'all able-bodied women must have at least one child.'

* 'citizens in these jurisdictions can have as many children as they want.'

I believe we would see a lot of outrage in other countries over these policy, but I worry the CCP sees no difference ethically in mandating one or the other. Instead opting for whatever is deemed necessary.
