The Myth Of China and women empowerment

[takeitwithyou]

First things first- these words are mine. Second, I understand this is a difficult topic in these forums and I'm going to be met with few emotional outbursts. Which is fine and frankly amusing and welcomed by me.

Social media has made it possible where propaganda flourishes. China has a prolific propaganda like no other. We have seen countless studies and articles that speak to efforts put into this machine and how active it is in trying to shape the "impression" about China in positive ways. We even have Jackie Chan, supposedly some sort of a Chinese adviser now, telling the government to lock up people who they deem to hurt National dignity.

Coming back to the propaganda machine one really has to make an effort to ignore its existence. The Chinese government fakes nearly 450 million social media comments a year. This is why. (view article for more investigated findings)

The difficulty in countering this narrative is that the kingdom heavily censors and obfuscates any internal studies or real data from the rest of the world. Nobody knows the veracity of the information the CCP puts out. Time and Time we have caught them fudging GDP numbers, growth rates and anything they deem will tarnish the image.

Why do they do this is obvious
Being the 2nd highest GDP comes with a lot of responsibility on the world stage. China wants to be a superpower, it believes its ancient history puts itself at that stage. The propaganda machine is the means to achieving that end - the need to embellish every slight dramatically.

You see the Chinese have no friends. They are looked as a transactional relationship. They don't have any brand, cultural, way of life, governance or people skills anyone covets or wants to adopt as aspirational. That's why their transactional allies don't yearn to go to live among them, move there or covet them as a brand.

The Myth Of China and women empowerment
Among several myths they try to push is this claim of China is a great place for women empowerment and equality. 2017 global empowerment report has debunked it and we can now get to the real data. http://www3.weforum.org/docs/WEF_GGGR_2017.pdf

1. China stands an abysmal 100 out 144 rank in the latest 2017 women empowerment.
2. 86 in Economic participation and Opportunity.
3. 102 on educational attainment (this one shocked me given how much they tell the world they are 90 percent plus on the literacy benchmark)
4. 144 in health and survival
5. 77 on political empowerment

Ignorant post.

Just go to china and see for youself, there are women and young girls walking about casually at 2am without fear. Women work just like men do and also have high numbers in business and management.

Mao said women hold up half the sky. In China it it correct.

India is where it's disgustingly unequal. To be born a woman in india is to be the most unfortunate bad luck.

For the eighth year, China has dominated a list of self-made women billionaires, with Chinese women holding the top four places of the rich list compiled by the publishers Hurun.

According to the Hurun Report, there are 2,694 billionaires in the world, that is 437 more than the last year.

"A boom in China, a weak dollar and a 26% hike in Nasdaq have led to a surge in dollar billionaires across the world," Rupert Hoogewerf, Hurun Report Chairman, and Chief Researcher.

Four of the top 10 richest self-made women in the world are from China and 28 of the 50 women listed.

Zhou Qunfei, the founder of a major smartphone screen maker, Lens Technology, is the world's richest self-made woman, with $9.8 billion in contracts with Apple and Samsung. According to the Forbes list of the World's Billionaires, she is in 198th place with $7.8 billion. She reportedly lost her mother as a child and quit school at the age of 16 to work.

In second place is real-estate magnate Wu Yajun from the western city of Chongqing, who is worth $9.3 billion after her wealth jumped 83% in the last 12 months, informs Hurun Report. She occpies 202nd place on the Forbes list.


Yajun beat out another female developer, Chen Lihua who topped the self-made female rich list in 2017, shifted to third place after her fortune grew only slightly from $7.2 billion to $8.1 billion last year. Beijing-born Lihua governs the investment company FuWah and is married to popular Chinese TV star Chi Zhongrui.

Women occupied 15% of the 2018 Global Rich List, the same proportion as last year with a total of 32 more female self-made billionaires with 184, up from 152, according to the Hurun researchers.

I disagree with the assertion that Chinese are unfair to women; Chinese women have access to same opportunities as men. In-fact, Chinese culture is similar to that of the WEST.

Nonetheless, Chinese population is enormous so problems scale accordingly.

No, Chinese women are more dominant than men in the current Chinese society, that is something that I believe that China should deal and correct .
