China could easily solve much of its problem by permitting city dwellers to have two children. Or permit the rural groups who want more kids to have a third if they can pay for it.
I read somewhere that Los Angeles was the fourth largest Canadian city, based on the number of Canadians living there. Canada imports lots of people because many of its young people come to the United States and add to its demographic momentum, the children of those Canadians becoming Americans.
China has a stronger military, 20-40 million excess men, and a more militant government. And they’re buying up farm land and buying up mineral resources.
The Chinese even move in their own workers for mines and factories, causing Africans angst because development brings jobs but not for them.
It wouldn’t be hard for Chinese owned and worked farms and mines to become colonies.
“Or permit the rural groups who want more kids to have a third if they can pay for it.”
Isn’t one child the limit?
Burden the young with caring for the old just when they need their strength to bring in the next generation. That isn't going to end well.
Over here we do the same thing, loading down talented youth with student debt just when they need to be starting homes, for example.
Eating the young, everywhere you look....
One child for city dwellers, regardless of gender. For farmers, if the first child is a girl, they are allowed a second child to try for a son. If the first child is disabled, they are allowed a second child. The rule is basically to give them two tries for a healthy boy to take care of the farm.
Thank you.
