Pearls Buck's Good Earth dwelt on this aspect of sexual relationship in
China when she wrote about Wang, the protagonist , taking a young maid as
his concubine.

It is Darwinian. It ensures that gene of the strong and able passes down to
the offspring and the weak eliminated. It may seem cruel or inequitable. But
it is the law of nature or "jungle'.

Having said this, I vehemently deny that Mao was a pedophile as insinuated
by you with malicious intention in the next part of your posting..

Pedophile and related kinky sexual practice is not the monopoly of this part
of the world. Please read Lolita.
