Is China still using/enforcing a "one child" rule?
-
I think it is being taken off the books, due to population sustainability, but the damage from the ingrained mentality is done, women are worth no value to them there, as far as children are concerned.

Yeah.

Then this stinks more than before. Two girls, both under 4 (some reports say 2 and 4, some say 2 and 3). I am not saying that this is 100% certainly not an accident (now that I see the front edge controls on the washer), but I know that there is no way that a child could climb into my washer (which has a different design) and initiate a cycle while they were inside.

I still don't get it. I pride myself on being able to at least try to see things from another point of view. This mentality may as well come from another world, it's so alien to me.

Its not surprising really, there is a psychological standard of not caring there, due to insurance and liability, no one will help an injured person, due to the instant you touch them, you are liable for their survival, hence the video of the toddler that got run over three times, as ten pedestrians walked by without a thought of helping them. China, at least in the cities, is fucked up.

Or our perception (which may or may not be totally accurate) that at least some parts of Chinese culture and some families are less concerned about the safety, welfare and lives of their daughters than they are of their sons?

The Chinese mentality of the worth of a female child.

Sadly, this really might be the case. There is an epidemic in China of "accidents" happening to girls.

Youre probably right. Sadly.
