Comment on Adding some nuance to the one-child policy by Bennett

I’m living in China and I wonder why 3/4 Chinese friends I have and Chinese people I meet, (in Shanghai, Beijing or some rural farming village in Guangdong) all have multiple siblings and or multiple children. What a farce the one child policy is.

I haven’t run the numbers, but 7300 still seems a bit small even if you account for the 5-8 year band that are married… tho i wonder… maybe that IS normal. any idea what the age distribution in urban china/shanghai is?

But that’s just eligible couples – meaning 7,300 married couples that are both only children. I’d say that the majority of only children in Shanghai, or all of China, are still single, with the very first children of the “One Child” policy having only started getting married at the earliest maybe 8 years ago. I expect that this eligible couple quantity would increase dramatically with each year, right? And Shanghai would probably also see lower numbers in that women there are waiting longer to get married then their counterparts in more rural locations…

Comment on Why China’s eco-cities failed by scoruri

scoruri — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 19:30:00 +0000

Very interesting article. It is a shame that this project is falling on the wayside. I have been very hopeful that more and more countries and cities would start incorporating eco-friendly building principals so it is very concerning that this much hyped and anticipated project is not able to follow through. I really hope that we can develop more cost effective ways to build green without sacrificing quality.
