China becoming more democratic after the Mao generation is facing the epidemic of coping with the increasing numbers in people having sex freely.The Mao generation,taking after the Soviet Union when it was first formed,controlled almost every single aspect of people's lives.And 3 decades after the end of the Mao era,China took a more democratic model in order to keep up with the pace of the world and to ensure its survival.
The side effecs, the change in the lifestyles and attitude towards life of the Chinese has been bothering the government especially when these made drastic changes like woman trying to get free sex through blogging, a recent phenomenum that took the world by wave. The statistic showed the increase in percentages of Beijing residents having sexual relations even before marriage(Sex,Please-We're young and Chinese,Time,23 Jan 2006)Furthermore, the knowledge that the Chinese have about birth control is littleand thus explains the increament in the rate of single mothers and sexually transmitted diseases.
This is possibly due to the temptation of "trying" the new trend for many as expressed by Li,the blogger interviewed by Time that has performed sexual relations with more than 100 men, " Maybe in the past,everyone was obedient and listened to the old grannies who lectured on who you could have sex with and in what position.But now they are busy having sex and no time to listen."
But,is it really what's happening in China today?Only time will tell.
