The Chinese city of Xian sends text messages urging residents to have more babies on Chinese Valentine's Day.
The Chinese city of Xian on Tuesday observed the holiday of Qixi – essentially China’s Valentine’s Day – by peppering residents with text messages urging them to have more children to reverse the population crash initiated by the Communist Party’s brutal One Child Policy.
The “sweet love” text messages were backed up by a post on Weibo, China’s tightly controlled version of Twitter, that ordered residents to “continue the blood of China and share the important task of rejuvenation” if they are at the “right age” for childbearing. This sounded more quintessentially Communist than wishing sweet love on people, especially since the Weibo post did not bother to specify what the “right age” for childbearing is.
