10 Million Chinese Women

I was having lunch today with some of the turds I work with, and one guy goes "Did you hear how china wants to give us 10 million women?" I then say "what, did you read that on the onion?" And he goes "No! CNN!" He then proceeded to whip out his iphone (which he says he hates but still shows off) to show us the article, and when he couldn't find it the rest of us just gave him more crap. It was also a little awkward since we have a new Chinese woman in our group who just transferred in from one of my company's china sites. Maybe she was the first of the 10 million?

Once we got back to work he forwarded us this link from CNN:

China wants to send the US 10 million women

I then had to tell them that the article is about a discussion that happened in 1973 and that Mao has been dead for 30+ years. I have no idea why CNN or the associated press were writing about this now though.

I read that same story too. It's mostly just random news since the document was only de classifed this past year.
I found interesting Mao thought the extra women were causing trouble by giving too much birth. He must be pretty crazy to think that. :)

Nice... he bumped up the offer from tens of thousands to 10 million. I wonder how high we could have worked him up to if Henry Kissinger had actually started to do some hard bargaining with him.
