China may change 'one child' population policy

The 1 child policy was a result of Deng Xiaoping's mistaken conclusion that low birthrates are a cause of affluence instead of the result of it. The issue has never been about overpopulation for China in any realistic terms. Quite simply, the hundreds of millions of Chinese that could have been alive today (or at least exist within the system) are a resource lost to China forever. The whole policy has been criminally stupid from the get-go.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That's hard to do for a country with a vast amount of farmers, but the boys before girls mentality is highly overstated, and isn't nearly as bad as it is in India, which despite having no formal birth limit policy still has a gender discrepancy.

The gender discrepancy on paper is solely the fault of the CCP.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

lumping in forced abortions and infanticide with murder itt

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Wasn't talking to you, chumley.

But yeah, I wouldn't necessarily lump in socially forced infanticide with murder. For all intents and purposes, it's a late-term abortion unless it's been forced by the state or somebody else, which isn't what chibi neko is implying.

Though I guess it's murder if abortion services are easily available. It's a little complicated, but basically I'm saying chibi neko is kinda racist.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Except you claim that the Chinese are killing their daughters because of gender preferences, which isn't true and means that these kids become adopted or unofficially raised within the family far more often than they're actually killed.

This gender discrepancy is either leaving the country, or only on paper, but you continue insisting upon these Chinese Baby Girl Murder myths as though they are true so what the Hell is wrong with you?

And yeah, mandating 1 or 2 children a household implies forced abortions, so you are basically advocating state sanctioned murder, good job you fucking idiot.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Look, it's simply a matter of how economically beneficial children are to the economy, it GDP or higher education doesn't matter. If you could train drones to perform menial labor for the rest of their lives it would still be to their disadvantage to have children assuming children can't be drones.

We don't have much kids because nowadays it's a lifestyle choice, whereas in an agricultural economy those extra hands are an economic necessity.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
