China to the US: Take Our Women!

An interesting piece of history was discovered in a document that the State Department’s historical office released. It was a conversation transcript between China’s Chairman Mao Zedong and US Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger.

“You know, China is a very poor country,” Mao said. “We don’t have much. What we have in excess is women. So if you want them we can give a few of those to you, some tens of thousands.”
Mao circled back to the offer a few minutes later. “Do you want our Chinese women?” he asked. “We can give you 10 million.”
Kissinger noted Mao was “improving his offer,” and the chairman is on record then saying, “We have too many women … They give birth to children and our children are too many.”
“It is such a novel proposition,” Kissinger replied. “We will have to study it.”

The conversation occurred in 1973 in Beijing, China and as far as we could find… the promised10 million Chinese women were not given to the US.

This is a well known fact. China looks for guys and good ones at that. They have limits on their birth rate, and you can't blame them. They are very populated and somewhat over populated at that. They set many of them up for adoption and a number of US families go over and adopt them.

I think this just reflects the fact that China has a very deeply rooted Confucian society. Women, as in the philosophy, was not given much importance that even the Chinese nowadays prefer to have sons than daughters. Women, according to tradition, only serve a procreating role (making babies) and they do not carry the family name to the next generation.
