Ahh, see what things fall out from the dusty archives of our government? "Mao offered U.S. 10 million women" WASHINGTON (AP) -- Amid a discussion of trade in 1973, Chinese leader Mao Zedong made what U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger called a novel proposition: sending tens of thousands, even 10 million, Chinese women to the United States. "You know, China is a very poor country," Mao said, according to a document released by the State Department's historian office. "We don't have much. What we have in excess is women. So if you want them we can give a few of those to you, some tens of thousands." A few minutes later, Mao circled back to the offer. "Do you want our Chinese women?" he asked. "We can give you 10 million." After Kissinger noted Mao was "improving his offer," the chairman said, "We have too many women. ... They give birth to children and our children are too many." "It is such a novel proposition," Kissinger replied in his discussion with Mao in Beijing. "We will have to study it." --------------------------------------- We will have to study it. That's a hell of a way to say it.

Id hope they would have had some sort of quality control. You wouldnt want the 10 million mingers straight out of a mountain village.

There had to be a few good looking ones out of 10 million right?

Who needs a chicken in every pot when you have a Chinese woman in every bed?

I'm not sure if that is true. If Mao did say it, he was an idiot. Because today the men far outnumber the women in China. The ratio is like 120 men for every 100 women.

What if he said yes.
We would have been invaded by 10 million communist guerillas dressed as country women.
I can almost see the women buring down the hollywood sign.
Mr. Kissinger you saved America.
