[quote=Anonymous]I love China and have traveled extensively in China (months at a time) on several occasions.

Anyone who has spent any length of time in China recognizes that there is very subtle but fundamental disregard for human life there that is very disturbing.  Millions of people live in horrible poverty and the government does nothing.  100 people will die in a government sponsored bridge project (because it was cheaper to do less safely) and by-in-large the society doesn't bat an eye.  Female abortions occur by the hundreds of thousands (and infanticide is common in some parts)   It's so striking to me and in sharp contrast to life here in the states where regardless of one's religion (or lack of religion) there is a fundamental belief that human life is sacred and to be protected at all costs.  Not true in China and it definitely originates from the government and trickles down into the subconscious of the people.

That said, i individually met hundreds of gracious and compassionate Chinese people.[/quote]
