Maria asked:
I got in an argument with my mother-in-law because she didn’t want a friend of ours going to China because, “Remember, they still drown babies in China.” I laughed and said it was ridiculous. What’s the deal?

Why does the U.S. rank with China on privacy invasion? Is 1984 now here?
edith clarke asked:
In its most recent annual survey of 70 countries, Privacy International ranks the United States — along with China, Malaysia, Russia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and the United Kingdom — among the worst performers in terms of protecting the privacy of its citizens. These eight nations qualify as “endemic surveillance societies,” in which privacy-invasive laws, policies, and regulations are pervasive and systemic. According to the report, “concern over immigration and border control dominated the world agenda in 2007,” and the 2007 rankings “indicate an overall worsening of privacy protection across the world.”

Did you know that 50 US chemical plants worth over a billion are being closed and relocted to China?
Steve C asked:
Did you know that we could never fight a war without the chemicals now being made in China, a communist country that would never support us in time of conflict? The reason for closing the chemical plants is China has almost no pollution laws. Now they have 7 of the 10 most air polluted cities on earth? The chemical plants have destroyed the biggest lake around Shanghai (see the article below) This situation has put many of our chemists out of work, and weakened the US’ ability to defend itself, and yet our government seems to be encouraging it? Would you all please remember the plight of the chemists in this country, and the millions of people suffering in China, when you vote in the next election?

China’s one-child policy?
Jess S asked:
I was considering doing a reaserach paper for my English class on China’s one-child policy and the negative effect on it’s population of girls.
However, I thought I recently that they decided to reverse this law and it is no longer in use or changed in some way…but the only websites I can find haven’t been updated for a long time.
Does anyone know if China is still following this law or not, and if so, are girls still being discriminated against?
