The right wingers are out saying that Biden's "understanding" of China policy is immoral. China with a population out of control and facing famine and starvation did what was necessary. The US right sees it as immoral. Do they see starvation as moral. All i can do is shake my head in dismay.

Do they see starvation as moral.

The population explosion has been and will continue to be the source of most of the world's problems from economic, to ecology to wars. We are at 7B and going to 10B in 40-50 years. No one is even talking about it.

It looks like you misunderstood Joe.
Joe is for starvation and against infanticide, as the White House later clarified in this statement:

“The Vice President believes such practices are repugnant.
He also pointed out, in China, that the policy is, as a practical matter, unsustainable.
He was arguing against the One Child Policy to a Chinese audience.”


That crazy Right Winger Joe Biden! :lol:

Biden’s Human-Rights Blunder

It's worse than it seems -- Gendercide


This was an appalling statement coming from an American leader. What’s next? Will he say he isn’t “second-guessing” and “fully understands” that women are stoned for adultery in Iran?

“On behalf of all the Chinese women and girls,” she says, Biden’s “statements are very hurtful. The one-child policy means the child has to be killed, whether it is forced or coerced through pressure. The women don’t feel like they have a choice. In a culture that is not welcoming to women who get pregnant and keep the baby they will be persecuted, financially and politically by the government.”

“China’s one-child policy causes more violence against women and girls than any other policy on earth, than any official policy in the history of the world.”
The evil ripple effects for girls of China’s gendercide are astonishing. Because of the dearth of wives, Ling says that trafficking of child brides is epidemic. She told Congress in June that “this is the kidnapping and selling of toddler girls to be raised as slaves. Today in China, 200,000 children a year, usually from poor families, are seized or sold as child brides.” Similarly, sex trafficking is exploding to “service” the overwhelming male population. Ling says girls from surrounding countries are kidnapped or lured under false pretenses and forced to work in brothels.
