Meanwhile others actively seek to do whatever it takes to get into China (see Google's Sundar Pichai, FB's Zuckerberg, etc).

Xi, Hitler, Stalin. Same monsters, just different names.

This is what evil looks like:

If you don't know what an IUD is, or what the side-effects are, I suggest you read about it.

> For decades, China had one of the most extensive systems of minority entitlements in the world, with Uighurs and others getting more points on college entrance exams, hiring quotas for government posts and laxer birth control restrictions. Under China’s now-abandoned ‘one child’ policy, the authorities had long encouraged, often forced, contraceptives, sterilization and abortion on Han Chinese. But minorities were allowed two children — three if they came from the countryside.

Oh god, not the cost! Fuck humans; let's earn some cash.

IUD procedures are actually awful, it involves a speculum, a needle to the cervix, and a device for spreading it to insert the IUD. They last 3-10 years depending on size, and are not risk free.

My girlfriend had cramps for months, and went to the hospital 4 times from the pain with the smallest IUD.
