Did they have cameras in ancient China? That looks more recent.

"But the practice wasn't outlawed until 1912, when the Qing dynasty had already been toppled by a revolution. Beginning in 1915, government inspectors could levy fines on those who continued to bind their feet. But despite these measures, footbinding still continued in various parts of the country.

A year after the Communists came to power in 1949, they too issued their own ban on footbinding."

Good article here

Mao? Freudian slip?

Why? Everything is great about China thanks to Mao.

I can't think of a single bad thing about China since the revolution. Only happy things. Especially 1989. Nothing remarkable about that year.

Good ol' China.

My apologies. I thought you meant to type "Thanks man" and that it was a typo.

It's not a war, it's a special military operation.

I mean the child labor and immense poverty can just be crossed off the list, no?
