Exporting Women - What was Mao Thinking?


The Associated Press is reporting that Mao Zedong, during 1973 trade negotiations, offered Chinese women to US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. This was noted in recently released historical documents.

Mao complained that China had an "excess of women" and that "they give birth to children and our children are too many".

What a bizarre export offer! Was he really serious? Let's hope not!!! But it does keep with the theme I have noted of China doing what is best for China at the expense of the people.
