[The Epoch Times, March 9, 2022](The Epoch Times reporter Chang Chun interviewed and reported) The two sessions of the Communist Party of China have not yet ended, and many “striking proposals” put forward by the deputies continue to be widely circulated on the Internet, rushing to the top of the hot search list, and sparked discussions.
This year’s “two sessions” of the CCP, deputies to the National People’s Congress and members of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference put forward some controversial proposals, including “mandatory male paternity leave for one month”, “young people send less food and more into factories”, “allow single women to have one child” “, “Middle-aged talents over 40 return home to build a home for tired birds”, “Establish a national football leadership group”, “Cancel all kinds of art grading tests for primary and secondary school students”, “Recommend 18 to 45-year-old myopic people to do laser surgery”, etc. .
Proposal to “allow single women to have one child” hits
According to mainland media on March 5, Hua Yawei, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and the current vice president of Henan Cancer Hospital, proposed at the two sessions that unmarried women over the age of 30 should be allowed to have one child.
He proposed that 30-year-old healthy women can voluntarily retrieve their eggs and freeze their eggs, regardless of whether they are married or not, and allow unmarried unmarried women over the age of 30 to perform artificial insemination, IVF and other assisted reproductive operations.
When Ms. Wu, an unemployed worker from the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, heard about the proposal, she was very angry. She told The Epoch Times, “Where does the sperm come from for single women to give birth to children? Is it legal or not? The future of these children is also a big issue. They are all humanistic, moral and legal issues.”
Mr. Gu, a retired university teacher in Shanghai, told The Epoch Times that this is a reasonable and legal excuse for the CCP officials to give the “second wife” a child, “What does it mean to be single? Have a child without getting married, these officials are looking for a second wife, a third wife, etc. Milk, gave them illegitimate children, and established legal legitimacy. This is a serious violation of the law, social order will be chaotic, and it is a serious violation of the marriage law they have formulated. This kind of behavior that destroys the marriage law is not desirable.”
Netizens said: “From family planning to triple births to ‘allowing’ single women to have children, the wombs of ordinary people have always been planned.” “As reproductive rights, it is a basic right to be a human being, and family planning is a violation of the basic rights of citizens. Rights, long overdue to be abolished. The current situation is a violation of human rights, as a so-called ‘people’s representative’, but proposes violations of human rights.”
Another netizen left a message: “Women need to be allowed to have children or not. This is not to give women the right to choose more, but to take away the power of choice that women should have in the subtext, and then pretend to be ‘enlightened’. give rights.”
Mr. Wu, director of a cement factory in mainland China, said in an interview with The Epoch Times, “How can people who are not married give birth to children? Isn’t this messy, society is out of order, and it violates social morality. Legal registration is required, which is a violation of social morality and public morality.”
“It is recommended to force male paternity leave for 1 month” to be the first in the hot search
On March 6, it was suggested that “mandatory male paternity leave for one month” was proposed. According to Sohu News, this topic rushed to the top of the hot search list that day.
This proposal was put forward by Xie Wenmin, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and director of Hubei Shouyi Law Firm, who suggested, “For the spouse of a woman who gives birth, that is to say a man, he should also accompany the woman giving birth, take maternity leave for one month, and This month should also be enforced so that male siblings share the responsibility for raising children.”
Ms. Wu said that there is nothing wrong with this proposal on the surface, but if it is forced, it is very wrong. “It cannot be forced. Some families have financial difficulties. If a man does not go to work for a month, the family will have no source of life. Some people still have to repay the loan. Some things should go with the flow, and the word coercion must be used. Doing so shows that its power has reached the limit and its power is expanding. “
In mainland China, many coercive measures have been imposed on the people, and many tragedies have occurred. For example, in the “compulsory” family planning that year, many women were forced to have abortions.
On May 23, 2008, Zhang Wenfang, a villager in Longkou Town, Honghu City, Hubei Province, was forcibly taken to the hospital by a local family planning cadre when she was about to give birth when she was 9 months pregnant. When Zhang Wenfang did a physical examination a few months later, she found that her uterus and right ovary had been removed. The severely injured Zhang Wenfang has since become disabled and cannot live without a wheelchair.
Now it is proposed to force male paternity leave for one month. Mr. Wu believes that this is the same as forcing the birth of first, second and third children. “The common people can’t afford to stay at home. He doesn’t make money. How can he support people? Forcing you to pay him, you can’t let him drink the northwest wind, forcing people to survive, this is the minimum.”
“Young people send less food and go to factories more” hot discussion among netizens
Another proposal that rushed to the top of the trending search list was proposed by Zhang Xinghai, a representative of the Communist Party of China and chairman of Xiaokang Group, “young people deliver less food and go to factories more”.
Zhang Xinghai suggested “encouraging young people to deliver less food and go to factories more”. He explained that in recent years, food delivery, e-commerce, and online live broadcasts have attracted a large number of young people for employment, and even the express delivery industry has “involved” graduate students to compete. Many young people are reluctant to go to work in factories, resulting in the hollowing out of industrial workers.
Zhang Xinghai also said that in 2020, there will be a shortage of 22 million talents in China’s manufacturing industry, and an average of 1.5 million people will leave the manufacturing industry every year in the past five years. During the epidemic in 2020, there were 580,000 new riders in two months, 40% of which were industrial workers.
The netizen “Mr. Lu Dan” left a message: “Why do young people prefer to deliver food rather than go to the factory? Because the factory often works overtime and the wages are still low, at least working hard to deliver food and express delivery can earn more money. So you want to be young When people go to work in a factory, they will raise their salary and use market-oriented means to solve it.
According to the Weibo account of the Economic Observer, the proposal has attracted wide attention, ranking first in the hot search, with more than 400 million topic views.
“Timely cancellation of the crime of picking quarrels and provoking trouble” also attracts attention
As well as these “striking” proposals, Zhu Zhengfu, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and chairman of the Guangdong Lawyers Association, called for the abolition of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble”. Society is over-criminalized.
Ms. Wu said: “The CCP wants to build a memorial archway, and at the same time wants to be a bitch, just like after the first abolition of the labor camp, there was ‘picking quarrels and provoking trouble’. After canceling ‘picking quarrels and provoking trouble’, wouldn’t it use other things? As Wang Li of Shandong Pingdu said, I have a hundred reasons to sanction you, and I have strong military, financial and material resources to deal with you alone, making you hard to guard against.”
Ms. Wu believes that the crux of the problem is to use the substantive rule of law to constrain all people. “You can’t use the crime of picking quarrels and provoking trouble to restrict people out of context. Every year, the country spends a lot of money to maintain stability and control. Why can’t you spend a lot of money to solve it? question?”
In recent years, more and more Chinese people have been arrested and even sentenced on the grounds of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble”, including citizen journalist Zhang Zhan who used his mobile phone to record the living conditions of the people after Wuhan was closed during the Wuhan epidemic; The leader of the Knights Alliance, Chen Guojiang, was also detained on the charge of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble” for setting up a mutual aid platform and reflecting the demands of the couriers.
Although the so-called “crime of picking quarrels and provoking trouble” has always been controversial in Chinese legal circles and society, the proposal to “cancel the crime of picking quarrels and provoking trouble in a timely manner” has won the support of many netizens. It is considered a “conscience proposal”, but it touches the CCP The bottom line is also the stone sinking into the sea.
Mr. Wu, who had previously hung a banner to protest his grievance, told The Epoch Times that he was arrested for “picking quarrels and provoking trouble”, “There is no such clause in the Constitution and the law that we are not allowed to pull up banners. How do you say the person who tried me answered? You said it was based on a rough estimate. “Pick quarrels and provoking troubles serve the ruling party, if you violate it, you are overthrowing the ruling party.”
Mr. Gu told The Epoch Times that members of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and deputies to the National People’s Congress who participated in the two sessions of the CCP, “these people themselves were not elected by the common people, and they did not reflect public opinion at all.” They represent the CCP, and they are all people who speak for the CCP. , “They have nothing to do with us ordinary people in holding such a meeting.”
