China’s Male Leaders Signal to Women That Their Place Is in the Home


The Communist Party’s solution to the country’s demographic crisis and a slowing economy is to push women back into traditional roles.

At China’s top political gathering for women, it was mostly a man who was seen and heard.

Xi Jinping, the country’s leader, sat center stage at the opening of the National Women’s Congress. A close-up of him at the Congress was splashed on the front page of the Chinese Communist Party’s newspaper the next day. From the head of a large round table, Mr. Xi lectured female delegates at the closing meeting on Monday.

“We should actively foster a new type of marriage and childbearing culture,” he said in a speech, adding that it was the role of party officials to influence young people’s views on “love and marriage, fertility and family.”

The Women’s Congress, held every five years, has long been a forum for the ruling Communist Party to demonstrate its commitment to women. The gesture, while mostly symbolic, has taken on more significance than ever this year, the first time in two decades that there are no women in the party’s executive policymaking body.

What was notable was how officials downplayed gender equality. They focused instead on using the gathering to press Mr. Xi’s goal for Chinese women: get married and have babies. In the past, officials had touched on the role women play at home as well as in the work force. But in this year’s address, Mr. Xi made no mention of women at work.

The party desperately needs women to have more babies. China has been thrust into a demographic crisis as its birthrate has plummeted, causing its population to shrink for the first time since the 1960s. The authorities are scrambling to undo what experts have said is an irreversible trend, trying one initiative after another, such as cash handouts and tax benefits to encourage more births.

Faced with a demographic crisis, a slowing economy and what it views as a stubborn rise of feminism, the party has chosen to push women back into the home, calling on them to rear the young and care for the old. The work, in the words of Mr. Xi, is essential for “China’s path to modernization.”


The trend of fewer marriages and births has been years in the making, however, and Mr. Xi is goading women into a role they have long rejected. Many young and educated women in China’s biggest cities have relished their financial independence and are wary of marriage because of the pressure on them to have children and give it all up.

Young adults have expressed ambivalence about marrying and settling down, and they worry about the future as the economy slumps and unemployment soars. China is also among the most expensive countries in the world to raise a child.

For all of Mr. Xi’s calls on women to take up the cause of having babies, the party’s efforts are unlikely to bolster the birthrate enough to reverse the country’s population decline. That is, unless it is willing to resort to more punitive measures to disadvantage or marginalize women who choose not to have children.

While unlikely, it is something that Fubing Su, a political science professor at Vassar College, said was not completely out of the question. During the “one-child” policy, the party resorted to fines, forced abortions and sterilizations in an attempt to slow population growth for decades until it ended the restrictions in 2015.

“If the party could sacrifice women’s body and birth rights for its one-child policy,” said Mr. Su, “they could impose their will on women again.”

Everybody knows that having females in the workplace is a luxury issue. When times get tough, females are obviously the first ones cut because they provide the least actual value.

They're not wrong

The Golden Bull has the balls to tell h0es to get back in the kitchen.... White cucks on the other hand happily let Jamaal and Tyrone plow their wives...

BTW, it's only a matter of time before China implements their own Lebensborn Project. Russia, S Korea and Japan would never have the balls to do this even though they desperately need it.

The real problem is that the vast majority of chinese men are ugly af incels. Women of their own race are disgusted by them and would rather have a white chad, korean popstar model, or even a black tyrone rather than shrimp dick pan face ugly. Harsh but it’s the truth.

Every White country, Korea, and everywhere that isn't Africa is facing a similar demographic problem.

Africa's population is projected to be 2B by 2050.... that is both impressive and TERRIFYING.

The future is Black and all our descendants will be Black.

This is why it's so easy for white guys to smash Chinese poos.

Not just Chinese really - 'Asian' - and I hate using that general term.

Okay, which one of you *******s on this board is a member of the CCP. Its like they read all the based posts on this forum and then implement them in that country

Except for one group from a certain walled off country

North Korea?

This saddens me... Palestinians are actually aesthetic. Their phenotype is a mixture of Phoenician, Arab, Roman, Greek, European Crusaders and maybe some small amount of Jewish.

Some of their women are gorgeous. It's a shame Israel is trying to ethnically cleanse Gaza and The West Bank...

lol. no wonder you take after the biggest nonsense talker in history.ever heard of quality vs quantity?

Based.

Meanwhile this week in America I saw a video of a female cop screaming and cowering in fear while being shot at and another video of an obese landwhale washing dishes in the toilet

China will wax either India or Taiwan in the coming decade, these guys are actually communists and would want to wage war to sustain their economy

And Muslim.

Even more soul destroying when you realise the population of Africa was only something like 250 million in the 50s. So we’ve helped them add 1.75 bill in 100 years. Absolute madness.

Just hitting the nuke button seems like a far better option.

You know the modern world is all wrong when the worthwhile races are self deleting while the most useless net drains are proliferating out of control.

i was watching erik prince interview and he talked about the gates foundation gave central africa the vaxxcines and now theyre population is skyrocketed. these military aged males have no opportunities in those ****holes, so we could be seeing the next super al qaeda from there.

It always comes back to some bullchit about GDP or pension funds.

Having less people is awesome, unless you live in a centrally-planned infinite growth economy.
