 “Honey, you’re just another tomb.” |
| Chinese culture is full of subtleties that take a lot of study to fully appreciate, but when it comes to motivating people, sometimes that kind of all goes out the window. Because of the surging population, China has set strict limits on how many children most couples can have. It’s not really easy to get people in general on board with a policy like that, but Beijing tries its best. Unfortunately, rural governments sometimes lack the communication skills to motivate people effectively. The National Population and Family Planning Commission has had to crack down rural governments’ use of “crude and insensitive slogans” to to try to persuade people to comply with their population control policies. But what’s so offensive about things like ‘Raise fewer babies but more piggies,’ and ‘One more baby means one more tomb.’? Those are perfectly acceptable [to complete morons]. |
