>>the way they treated each other's babies<<

TJ, your claims of a superior Chinese attitude toward babies is ridiculous. While there have been many improvements in the modern era, China has a long sad history of subjecting female babies to foot binding, infanticide, neglect and other abuses. Today there is ongoing evidence of selective sex-specific abortion, unregistered female births (leading to second-class citizenship), and neglect of female infants.

If you wish to continue this dubious line of reasoning I'm sure we can provide plenty of evidence to the contrary...



Zhou Guizhen, who is 86-years-old, shows one of her bound feet where the bones in the four small toes were broken and forced underneath the foot over a period of time, at her home in Liuyi village in China's southern Yunnan Province, February 2007. Villages in China where women with bound feet survive are increasingly rare but the millennium-old practice nevertheless took almost four decades to eradicate after it was initially banned in 1911.(AFP/File/Mark Ralston)
