China Changes: Abolishes One Child Norm and Notorious Labor Camps, But Iron Fetters Remain

China is changing. At the coming session of the Communist party in Beijing two important resolutions are on the cards. First there is likely to be a relaxation of the one child policy that is in force for the last 55 years. Couples will be allowed to have one more child, but there are restrictions on that. Its not clear if it will be a universal policy.

The Chinese also plan to do away with labor camps called “Laojiao". These camps have held millions of Chinese in forced labor for years. Some have not seen their family for decades. The persons incarcerated in these camps are those charged with petty crimes. Again its not clear, if these camps will be totally abolished or only scaled down.

China is a draconian state and despite these small whiffs of change, the life of the average Chinese is hard and tough. He knows nothing of freedom of speech and life. He cannot even own an air-gun. It’s a state where ‘Big Brother’ controls everything. That’s the reason I say that China represents evil and despite the USA having a fear of China, it will lose in the world. In the long run India with its rich cultural heritage and spiritual ethos with a working democracy will outpace China.
