Chinese leader Mao Zedong proposed sending 10 million Chinese women to the United States, in talks with top envoy Henry Kissinger in 1973, according to documents released Tuesday.

The powerful chairman of the Chinese Communist Party said he believed such emigration could kickstart bilateral trade but could also "harm" the United States with a population explosion similar to China, according to documents released Tuesday by the State Department on US-China ties between 1973 to 1976.

OK, so I've been a bit lazy and just linked to the raw story article - but the link to the original source is there on the page.

I find this both amusing and worrying - an extra 10 million women to be brought into the population, many of them sure to be spies, agitators, hardline communists etc who could have (maybe) changed the face of US politics and the economy.

Would this have been a good thing?
or would this have been a more peaceful kind of invasion with the long term goal of overtaking the US from the inside.
