From the SF Weekly story.....

On Chiu's Web site, he states that teleportation is both necessary and inevitable, but while the "Eternal Life Device is already patented and is proven by many people to be working," unfortunately "Teleportation is not." Chiu entreats scientists to begin working on this project because "Once China reaches 1.6 billion, China will blow up! That means it will invade Russia, India, Germany, France, and lands among rest of Europe. If we don't hurry up and invent this stuff, you people will face the consequences! I'm Chinese myself, and I truely [sic] know Chinese in China are now preparing for war!" At the bottom of the page is a simple diagram of Chiu's teleportation machine that reminds me of a fourth-grade drawing of how peanut butter is made.

Right now, they're paying the price for it with their one child policy and whatnot. How about if we give asiaphiles -- meaning white , and occasionally black dudes -- free rein to go over there and take the pressure of Chinese men? I say more power to mail bride orders!! :ph34r: [/b][/quote]
Uh, you are aware that the competition is already intensifying over there due to the global shortage of Chinese women (created precisely by the one-child policy and selective abortion), which is why Chinese men are resorting to kidnapping Vietnamese women and the like. I wouldn't be surprised if China became a major destination for mail-order brides in the next decade.

Don't worry, Armaggedon will thin the world pop ranks considerably.

But on the ring - it's just 2 magnets. :blink:

I wish I could find it but one article I came across proposed that the surplus of men on the mainland paired with the shortage of men in Taiwan would make going to China to look for a husband a possibility.

The new bride is 27 and was brought here by her father's sister.

I don't know what's worse. The guy buying or a family selling.

Pei Xingfu - from Ban'ai village - was arrested by the police for drug trafficking; later he confessed to kidnapping a Vietnamese woman in broad daylight.

Shit.

I tend to wonder if the guy actually was smuggling women across the border, or whether he just made that up as a plausible cover story (given where he comes from, etc.) to avoid being charged with drug trafficking, which could get him a death sentence.

Check out the picture of him on that article.

Anyway www.alexchiu.com is old but thanks for that picture.
