    Default Contraception in China

    I've been living in China for two years now and condoms are available in all the supermarkets at checkout. But I'm told that this is relatively new - that just a few years ago, 2002 or so, you could only purchase condoms at adult stores. The government did a big push to have them available in public places. There is a view that only "bad people" use condoms. This is just information I have been told locally.

    Wow. That's sad. Looks like the Chinese government needs to have an educational campaign to show the Chinese citizens that using condoms is not a bad thing but rather a very good thing.

    They have done that for several years now to turn the public attitude around.

    They do that in Sweden too.
