Over population in China, creating trouble for future.

Growing population is a world problem. China is actually the only one who did something about it by restricting couples to one child. But they waited too long. And yes, they will have big problems. But so will everybody else. We'll first run out of water, and then will run out of food. China is already building housing on its farm land. In 30 years time, China won't have enough land to produce food for its population. Australian politicians want to increase Australia's population from 20 million to 50 million. This is being done in the name of greed. Australia don't have enough water for 20 million, much less for 50 million. Politicians should be required to take a brain scan before entering politics. And this is pretty much the same story all around the world. Africa has been starving for decades because of lack of water. Add to that the climate change, and you have humanity on the path of self destruction.

Hi fried, China and India both are facing problem of populaion explosion. China has adopted a polcy of one couple one child, which is better than india's policy of "we two ours two(Children). Si china should be in better position to control the population than India. Both China and India needs to use people centric technology rather than machincentric technology, to mak optimum use of then population. We need to have positive outlook to look our population as asset rather then liability, and should devise ways to maximise their use to increase produxtivity of the nation. Happy MyLotting

It already has. Thanks to their government policies, babies are being aborted nearly every day, there is that "2 Children per family" law, and all men must go to war, as for daughters, who cares? China says that are trying to change their ways and be better, but many people doubt this. And by the way, they still haven't freed Tibet.

Hi. I don't mean to fight against you for speaking negatively about my country(the war thing), but i highly desire that you can do some research before making negative posts about China in an open community like Mylot. I feel shocked by your way of thinking. "China shoots some people to deal with the overwhelming population"? Does that mean your government shoots people in order to reduce population? You seem to know nothing about my country. China is a democratic country where human rights are highly protected by our law. Our government was established to care for people and guarantee people's freedom and happiness. We never kill someone for no reason. I admit that we have a large population, but our government has been taking effective measures to settle the problem. Our large population is by no means for war, but stemmed from the past population system.

yes, you're right... over population is a big trouble for future.. but I think, china government was created a rule that one couple have one child... and fyi, china have about one billion population.. although the "one couple have one child" succes, China still have big population..

Over population indeed is a big problem to China.Nowadays, the biggist problem in China is housing price. Major people can't afford a house, so that their parents even their grandparents give all of the money they earned the whole life to child to buy a house.

China does not shoot people to control the population. They do strongly encourage each family to have only one child. What I have read, and understand, is that because many families want that one child to be a boy there are going to be many Chinese men who have no wives. In that case, population will automatically go down. They did not get a large population overnight and the population will not stabilize quickly either. It is an ongoing balancing act.

As far as overpopulation is, the main problem is the distribution of food and the availability of fertile land. If the people were able to grow food where they lived and if not, they could also provide goods to purchase the food, and if there were irrigation, and storage places where they could keep the food without spoiling during the cold seasons, etc. there would not be any problem. I think in China's case, that like many places there is also a disparity between the rich and poor. It is getting better now, but the rich in some countries keep all the money to themselves and do not help the poor by giving them jobs. But mainly in China, it is the only one or two children rule, has created a country where there are more men then women since it many couples will kill the baby girl at birth or before, so they can have a son. Too many man with not enough women for them to marry, creates a problem. I can see large armies invading other countries and men with no one to keep track on them when they want to make mischief. I also think you should not limit population because who do you tell not to have as many children? I am still not over the fact that I was told "well that nice farm family in Africa can have lots of children, but since you are a Canadian city lady, you probably do not love children with the extent she has====" even though I really loved babies and still do

Just think positively and everything will be fine

The sleeping giant awakes after so many years under communism,now capitalism is slowly cfreeping back into the mindsets of chinese and with more than a billion people to contribute their respective roles,if managed well China is definitely heading to becoming the richest and powerful country. I wonder if the free wheeling ways of Shanghai,Honk Kong , and many other cities in China at the turn of the century werent interupted by communism,what will China be like today. Maybe like India or maybe more powerful and wealthy than the USA is today.!

I don't think it is just a problem within China, but atleast they have taken steps to try and regain some sort of population control. I think members of the European union are seeing the effects of migrant populations and reproduction too. I live in Southern Spain and because of the immigrants flloding in they have had to invest money in extending schools or building new ones and plans have just gone ahead to build a new hospital no less than five miles away from the existing one. To be honest I have no idea what the solution is to this.

I can't figure out why you started such a discussion, are you curious or gloating? I'd rather believe that you're curious about China. Because you said quote: to know the truth of China, you have to go to China and talk to the people. Then may I ask you, have you ever been to China and talked to the people? If not, how do you know quote: they show one thing do just the opposite? By the way, I appreciate your concerns for our country, if it is so.

I agree that overpopulation can trigger trouble in a country as there may not be be enough resources available for everyone so everyone should be responsible enough before deciding to bear a child as it really entails a lot of responsibilities.

well they reproduce fast but in fact they have a law that says that families shouldnt have more than 1 kid now. the problem is that it cause that they go out of china and reproduce fast in other places of the world like my former country or spain.

I think your right about china wanting a loarge popuaion for war. however I have heard that they are rethinking the one child policy in china. they tryed in the past to curb the pop but now they want to incresse it. this is becase of an ageing population. but how they would handle overpopulation I am not sure of.

It's true that population is a problem in China. It's a large pressure for the government to offer enough jobs. But I don't agree that the population is growing very fast in China. I guess several years later the population of India will surpass that of China. In the future, the trouble the government need to face will be how to handle the fast growing of elder population.

I think, nothing to woory about it since China can sustain its people. In fact, for the past 10 years, their economic growth has jumped and predictions are, time will come, that Chinese economy will conquer the world, not because of much people, but the stability of their economy.
