Poor Little Monsters

To get off of the topic of Chinese babies for one blog, let's talk about American babies. This blog is geared to help inform Americans about the difference between our government and the Chinese Communists. When typing in "American babies" into Google what comes up is quite annoying: baby magazines, baby photo contests, an American baby FACEBOOK? But what defines an American baby? Our country is the largest integrated country in the world, yet we still put the fair skinned child as the face of this country. Better yet, when I typed in "Chinese babies" into Google, what came up was as followed: "Do they eat babies in China?" "Babies for sale," "Dead babies found," "How Chinese babies pay the price for China's overpopulation," and over 5 links for "Chinese baby adoption." Being that Google is an American based website, it is quite sad to see that our focus within journals, magazines, newspapers, and books have a negative connotation in relation to Chinese babies. One of the articles that came up under "Chinese babies" was about tainted formula being put into the children's milk in China. A sample of the contaminant was found from over 20 companies across China. The substance showed to be Melamine. Melamine resulted in sickening over 6,000 babies and killing 3 infants. The Chinese Health Minister Gao Qiang's job was to thoroughly inspect these companies for any signs or type of contaminate. After detectives were able to inspect Gao Qiang and his former colleagues, detectives arrested him and over 20 others. Apparently these men were purposely poisoning these children. None of the article I read had said why, but from my guess it is because of the One-Child Policy. All of those in which were arrested were all male. Most of these men were married without children. My guess is that they figured out a clever way to help diminish the overpopulation problem. Well, what they thought would be inconspicuous was definitely stupidity.
