CBS manages to find the sunshine in Chinese communist tyranny

Thank goodness CBS doesn’t get so high-and-mighty as to ignore the bright side of Beijing citizens being forced to live without heat during record low temperatures.

In one of the last vestiges of collective living, Beijing’s coal plants pump heat to city apartments on a strict schedule, from November 15 to March 15, every year. Since the 1950s, the schedule has rarely changed, even if temperatures plummet before the appointed day.

After enduring record heat-waves this summer, with the mercury soaring to its highest mark in 60 years, and thick pollution in the fall (which the government blamed on “fog”), Beijingers are now suffering through the early onset of bitter cold. China’s state-run media reported October 18 as the city’s coldest autumn day since 1986, with temperatures peaking at 48 degrees and then dropping to 44.

“Quit whining, peasants!” says CBS. “Your pain is nothing compared to Mother Earth’s pain!”

There is one silver — or green — lining to weeks of goose bumps. Beijing’s power plants burn through 41,000 tons of coal every day to keep the city’s residents warm in winter. That energy is saved each day the government keeps the radiators turned off.

Today, another story of the wisdom of communist dictatorship bobbed up from the depths of their hideously polluted rivers:

An eight-months pregnant woman was dragged from her home and forced to have an abortion because she had broken China’s one-child-per-family law.

Twelve government officials entered Xiao Aiying’s house where they hit and kicked her in the stomach, before taking her kicking and screaming to hospital.

There, the 36-year-old was restrained as doctors injected her with a drug to kill the unborn baby.

I thought I’d save CBS the trouble of flourishing too much nobility, and write them a nice little caveat for their report on this.

There is a silver, or rather green lining, to forced abortion in China. Human beings, as well as contributing to overpopulation and the diminishing of sustainability, produce incredible amounts of carbon dioxide and other toxins that increase the problem of climate change. By slaughtering this parasite of Gaia, the Chinese government is helping to combat the cataclysmic impact of global warming.
