Conflict of Interests

I have noted two conflicting articles from CNN about China. The first article came out last week entitled "Chinese whispers turn hot and heavy". It was about "no-tell motels". These motels are strategically located near the Beijing university districts. Due to the fact dorm rooms may house six or more students, these motels offer privacy for couples. This has helped contribute to an increase in pre-marital sex by 15% since 1989.

The other article, "China to keep one-child policy" came out a week later. The law prohibiting urban citizens from having more than one child will be extended ten years. The law is more flexible for members of the rural communities. It is estimated over the past thirty years this has resulted in the "prevention" of 400 million births.
