Adults Ignoring their Confucian Duty Risk Lawsuits in China
Quote:Many children never visit their aged parents in the 50-bed home in eastern China’s Shandong province to avoid being criticized for not taking care of them at home, said Yang, 47. “The children are ashamed of being seen,” she said. Bloomberg Those who know, know! ![]() |

RE: Adults Ignoring their Confucian Duty Risk Lawsuits in China
While I don't really agree with how its implemented, it does show that China wants to encourage family values and traditional values.
Traditional values is the original social security. it keeps families together and is more in line with human nature. Those who know, know! ![]() |

Quote: "One-party autocracy certainly has its drawbacks. But when it is led by a reasonably enlightened group of people, as in China today, it can also have great advantages," wrote the influential New York Times foreign affairs columnist Thomas Friedman. "One party can just impose the politically difficult but critically important policies needed to move a society forward. One-party autocracy works because the ruling structure is transparent and blame can be directed at one source. It is good to see that even guys like Friedman are giving China credit. China does not use a socialist liberal model. It's a pragmatic model based on common sense. Those who know, know! ![]() |

RE: Adults Ignoring their Confucian Duty Risk Lawsuits in China
Quote:Earlier this month, Chinese state media reported that a 90-year-old grandmother had been forced by her wealthy son to live in a pig pen for two years. Other news stories in the country report of elderly parents being abused or neglected, images that fly in the face of the traditional concept of senior Chinese relatives being respected and well cared for by their children. GETTING A DAY OFF TO VISIT YOUR FOLKS! This is full support of traditional values. China is definitely ANTI-NWO Those who know, know! ![]() |

I remember hearing this actress, I think her name was Bai Lin, on the Adam Carolla podcast. She's lived in China and the US and thinks people are more free in China. She was also intelligent enough to know what she saying, so I believed it since I can see how things really are here and where they're heading. Even though I was seeing Alex Jones movies talking about how the Chinese cops steal people's organs. Lol

^ Alex Jones is entirely clueless about China.
It's totally true that China is more free. I have no reason to BS about this. I am not that fond of China, I just admire how the govt. can be so effective. Those who know, know! ![]() |

You can ask any ex-pat that has been to both places and they'll say the same thing as Bai-Ling.
It's very obvious from the first moment you touch down in Asia. Those who know, know! ![]() |

RE: Adults Ignoring their Confucian Duty Risk Lawsuits in China
Both Alex Jones and his mentor Texe marrs repeat the lie that China is to be the model for the new world order.
China has ALREADY RELAXED the ONE CHILD POLICY.. yet Alex Jones is still talking about FORCED abortions happening on a mass scale. he also fails to mention that All ETHNIC MINORITIES are EXEMPT from the one-child policy. Those who know, know! ![]() |

The cynical part of me says that they've figured out that they'll save millions on aged health care if they force the kids to do some voluntary amusing of the old people. They probably remain healthier if they are happier, and therefore require less care.
In the west it would probably be implemented as mandatory bed pan emptying and bed making everytime they visit. May your gods go with you |

RE: Adults Ignoring their Confucian Duty Risk Lawsuits in China
^ yes. that is one aspect, but framing it within a confucian context bolsters the traditional value systems.
this is definitely a way to relieve the burden on govt. to take care of the elderly, but it also sends a message to people that you should respect your parents. Those who know, know! ![]() |

To me, many people don't follow the traditional teachings, but it is an ideal that must be the standard.
I don't believe in penalizing people for having kids out of wedlock or not visiting their folks etc. but the MSM and the authorities have be saying the right things.. and that this is the ideal. Those who know, know! ![]() |

Adults Ignoring their Confucian Duty Risk Lawsuits in China
^wow. There's a thought.
My mom passed away a year ago last week. I'm so glad I was able to visit her about once weekly in the nursing home. Would have done more but stay busy with my kids. She told me several times before she passed that she appreciated all the help and love I had given her. |
