Why China’s divorce law is so controversial

new civil code, adopted in May, couples will have to wait 30 days between registering their intent to split for good and actually doing so. Nothing wrong with that, some might argue—many other countries have similar “cooling-off” requirements. On matters related to marriage, Chinese law is still remarkably liberal. Yet weeks after the restriction was introduced , many netizens remain furious. It will, they say, imperil the lives of women.

The government’s motive is clear. It sees happy families as the bedrock of social stability. The country’s soaring divorce rate must therefore be a threat, in its view. Around 5% of divorces are done “rashly”, Sun Xianzhong, a legislator, told state media. A cooling-off period would give spouses a chance to “calm down”, he said.

Couples who genuinely want to divorce will not be dissuaded by a month of delay. Rather, the cooling-off period will endanger victims of violence, says Lu Pin, a feminist activist who moved to New York after the arrest of fellow campaigners in China in 2015. It is mainly women who will be affected by the new law—they initiate three-quarters of divorces in China.

Why?

대규모 처형 대청소가 반드시 이루져야한다

중국 전역에서 혁명이 일어나 현재의 썩고 부패한 공산당 정권을 붕괴시키는 날이 반드시 올것이라 확신한다 중국은 제 2문화혁명이 일어나야한다 중국또한 소련의 볼세비키 혁명 레닌 혁명이 일어나 썩은 중국공산당 정권을 몰아내고 중국 국민의 역적 역도들을

중국 공산당 정권은 무슨 말도많고 탈도많나 썩고 부패한 대가리들에서 무슨 양심법이 정의로운 법이 나오겠는가 중국 공산당 정권 지구에서 없어져야할 악의집단세력이다 절대다수 중국국민 과 정의을 지향하는 신군부 군인들이 언젠가는 한번 똘똘뭉쳐

1/2The new marriage law more protects the interests of both the man and the woman in the marriage relationship. It is also a reminder of China's progress towards equal rights for men and women.

Sorry, should The Economist change its name to The Politics?

Marriage is DEFINITELY more nuanced and scary then naive people can fathom. Not just in China, ANYWHERE!

New research sheds light on asymptomatic transmission is 'the Achilles’ heel of COVID-19.' Even if 95% of the population is asymptomatic or show mild symptoms, 5% represents 16.5 million with severe symptoms and if 5% of those die, it represents 825,000 Americans. Physical separation and masks are the only game in town till we get a vaccine with high efficacy. Absent from all the scaremongering is the fact that this was an engineered bioweapon. I can only imagine the desired outcome.

Ohio reporter explains why Trump visit was big for small townToledo Blade reporter Liz Skalka covered the president's Thursday trip to Ohio, which included a trip to a Whirlpool factory. Skalka joins Morning Joe to discuss local reaction to Trump's visit. Visiting folks who feel forgotten gets him votes. Hillary did not baby the swing state voters and lost. So he went where he knew he’d be welcomed, not to larger cities or where they closed the car manufacturing plant. That’s comfortable for him. They also want less divisive politics; I’m sure if they vote Trump, he’ll bring the nation to their...he’s sooooo good at that, right? Don’t flatter yourselves, truth hurts but it has to be said. realDonaldTrump does not give a damn about y’all, you do know he hates poor people, right? His own words, not mine.
