money cant buy quality?

i am a chinese, in certain way, you can even call me a very traditional chinese. however. no matter how strong the financial growth in china are these days, i still dont foresee this country to become the biggest country in the world. not in the next 20 - 30 years.

the other day, i was watching a TV programme, shoot in some country-side of china, the theme is the "one child policy". this farmer's family has their first-born girl few years ago and this year, they have another baby boy. actually, they are qualified for a second child (i dont know what exactly the policy goes, it didnt explain much on the programme) but the father did not fill out the application before they have the child, so, he is charged with a penalty, something like 19,000 CYN. which is quite a lot of money to a farmer family in china. of course, they did not have the money to pay the penalty. as a result, the people from the "one child policy" government unit went to their house and beat them up and took away their farming tools. without the tools, they cant work, which means, not even be able to earn the money for the penalty, they will have problems on the living costs as well.

this is very sad, very sad. when you live in a country that you cant allow to have as many babies that you want, that sucks. i know "birth control" is a very strong issue that the country has to work on but this should be carried out in an educational way, advertising way...etc. not by force. second of all, when it comes to penalty, if someone cannot pay the lump sum in one time, there are always many other plans to work out the instalment. why take away someone"s living tools????

if the country dont have the freedom for people to speak, good edcation system, freewill to persuade its own dream...etc. this will never be a place that people want to live in. as far as i know, USA is still the strongest country in the world because they allow all kind of freedom - a good quality freedom which allow people to do whatever they want. just like the cartoon "south park", see how many celebrities and politicans they make fun of? can that ever happen in China??

dear Zhoulee you are a bit over-reacting. i did not say i dont believe china will grow into the biggest country in the world. all i am saying is that - it still takes time. and i believe you are definitely from china because you sound like one. without knowing someone's background, you already "bah bah bah". trust me, my chinese history is not as bad as you think. i can read chinese very well, i just dont know how to type them fast. critisim is important and i am glad you share yours. thank you.
