| Mao wanted to flood the USA with wimmin! |
| 2008-02-14 |
| Chinese leader Mao Zedong proposed sending 10 million Chinese women to the United States, in talks with top envoy Henry Kissinger in 1973, according to documents released Tuesday. The powerful chairman of the Chinese Communist Party said he believed such emigration could kickstart bilateral trade but could also "harm" the United States with a population explosion similar to China, according to documents released Tuesday by the State Department on US-China ties between 1973 to 1976. In a long conversation that stretched way past midnight at Mao's residence on February 17, 1973, the cigar-chomping Chinese leader referred to the dismal trade between the two countries, saying China was a "very poor country" and "what we have in excess is women." He first suggested sending "thousands" of women but as an afterthought proposed "10 million," drawing laughter at the meeting, also attended by Chinese premier Zhou Enlai. |

| #14 the GI has a tendency to marry just about any member of the opposite gender regardless of descriptive attributes. Large amounts of alcohol will tend to do that. |

| #13 I always knew the Chinese had a male centrist society but Mao almost sounds gay here. I wonder if he ever made the same deal to the Soviets or if the Soviets, sharing a border would have realized the game right away. |

| #12 1973 would have been the Cultural Revolution. All those female Red Guard leaders who followed his bitch of a "wife". (Remember the Gang of 4 included his wife "Jiang Qing") Some of her famous saying: Sex with any man is no different than a drink of water. Wikipedia on Jiang Qing |

| #10 Mao's plot has played out in the area of adoptions. Everyone who adopts a kid from China comes back with a girl. |

| #5 ..but could also "harm" the United States with a population explosion similar to China, Hmmm. No. In a largely middle class society that doesn't struggle to exist, there's no need for dozens of children in a family because infant mortality and female birth complications are not an issue. Further, a culture which values its little princesses as much as its male offsprings is usually happy with ones or twos in the standard family unit. If Mao went to any American military installation in the period he would have found that even in the below average income environment a racially mixed family housing area that was 'American' in that perspective, as the GI has a tendency to marry just about any member of the opposite gender regardless of descriptive attributes. |
