Faced with aging and declining population, the Chinese government is doing everything they can to coax women into motherhood. Mr. Xi, the leader of China, has repeatedly said that promoting childbirth is a national priority which ensures that women “always walk with the party”. According to a China correspondent working for the New York Times, the measures taken by the government have been quite invasive, including sending officials going door-to-door to ask women about their plans, and sometimes even the date of their last menstrual cycle. We all know that this is not the first time for the communist party to impose its will on women’s reproductive rights. However, the in-your-face approach taken by the ruling party might have backfired this time. Most women believe that whether to have kids is a private decision. And nagging at women is just not going to cut it now.
