Population control takes many forms, does it not? Every government is guilty and bloody handed. Do they care? Unlikely.

Alas, nowhere else on the planet or in history has the same ethically ignorant & morally inept mix of excessive government and capitalist excesses — just too much of a bad thing — poor Zhong Guo — they will never be rich enough to undo the morass they have made for themselves, and indeed the world will turn on them before they get much richer — if there is an alternative, I always avoid buying anything made in China, and would usually rather do without something if there is no alternative — they have a great deal of misery and pain coming towards them, and most of the country is too backwards and weak to even sense its approach.

Uhm, you are forgetting one thing: China is a totalitarian dictatorship and the rights and wishes of people generally go unanswered. China is going full tilt on ‘progress at any price’ because they want to oust America as the top economy in the world, and literally millions have been killed or displaced along the way in the last 15-20 years to achieve it. I don’t think a ‘Minamata’ moment is possible there anytime soon – govt troops would crush that kind of rebellion first.
