Relatives of the missing Chinese families are protesting with banners saying

 

"Malaysians are murderers" & "give us our relatives back"

 

Jesus Christ, what do they think has gone on?

 

 

A lot of people in the UK first thought was that aliens had abducted the plane. h0107.gif

There's still 1.2 billion of the fuckers, what's the problem?

 

The Chinese family planning policy means that many women past child-bearing age have lost their only son (and future provider). Makes an upsetting situation rather worse.

If they're flying about the world willy nilly they're probably not from such a poor family so will have dropped a few kids anyway

Interesting that you were compelled to use the word 'willy' as soon as the opportunity arises. You and CWP were in the same onesie, weren't you?

I'm sure you knew really, but:

 

"But for the parents of Wang Yonggang, a 27 year-old computer expert from Eastern China, the agony was particularly intense. Like many Chinese parents of their generation, the Wangs were permitted only one child by the Communist Party's family planning rules, implemented in 1979 amid fears of a population explosion.

Now, along with the missing Boeing 777, that son is gone.

'Both parents are in their 50s and Wang is their only child' said Cao Kaifu, his former headmaster at a school in Jiangsu province. 'It is so sad. Wang has always been the pride of his parents. They are heartbroken.'....

'When you lose your only child it feels like the sky has fallen in," said a mother in Shanghai who lost her only daughter and husband in a car crash in 2012. Because of the one-child policy a million families have lost their offspring for ever.... It is an ethical tragedy'....

There were 153 Chinese passengers on flight MH370 when it set off from KL, arouna a third of them born in the 1980s....

The majority of those young men and women, born in the first decade after the one-child policy was introduced, are likely to have been only children."

The policy is in the past. The mothers affected are past child-bearing age.

It's a cock-up that can't be solved by a cock up.

Malcolm, trust me on this one but that law was broken by many with money. Those parents obviously didn't but it was ignored by some, I some of whom I know.

It didn't apply to everyone, and a girl first didn't usually count anyway. But one boy and you're out!

Conspiracy theorists at it down here now.

 

Apparently, the Taliban recovered a downed US military drone and China wanted it. For all sorts of weird reasoning, the only way to get it to China was through a muslim countries official airline. There was no way the US  was letting China get the technology so the good old US made sure the plane was lost into the most remote and deepest ocean part of the world and also contributed to false stories so the search wasted days looking in the wrong places.

 

How do these people think em up?
