Then why is China trying to reduce its population growth thru its one child policy? The CIA Factbook puts China’s fertility rate at 1.54 children born/woman (2010 est.), well below replacement at 2.1.
The same reason all powerseekers/holders want less population, power and control.
You seem to want it both ways. You referred to a quote about China’s desire to be first in everything, including you seem to believe, in population. That is simply not the case. The Chinese want less people. Their population burden affects their power and wealth. I have been to China. It is still a third world country. Millions still do not have electricity.
