As an American...I absolutely believe the communist chinese "one-child program" was a great idea and wished they never ended it.

...and they, the chicoms, didn't see what the end result of depopulating would be, really? I do not believe any nation of people are free from "politicians," which I always say with contempt since "politicians" are the most destructive force on earth, and that is fact.
Thank Mr. Martin for responding, I enjoy your writing, sir.

The Chicoms appear to have drunk their own leftist Kool-Aid. The Population Bomb came out the year before I was born, and it has been an article of faith on the left (and rarely questioned on the right) ever since that "overpopulation" was going to kill us all.
In reality, global population has nearly tripled in my lifetime and we have more food and more resources per person than ever before. The left cannot comprehend that these thing are not a zero-sum game, that more population creates more division of labor and thus more wealth, or that rising prices result in entrepreneurs finding solutions to supposedly insoluble problems. Those things go against everything Socialists believe. Yet here we are.
So the Chinese tried to "save" themselves by killing off their future. And now, the relentless math they can no longer reverse is well on-track to reduce their population 75% in the next 75 years, which at that time will be below U.S. levels. And in the meantime, a quickly shrinking younger population will be forced to spend all they can make supporting a ballooning number of retirees.

They certainly committed slow-motion suicide. Unfortunately they murdered an awful lot of people to achieve that dubious end.

It ain't pretty. It also could have been avoided.
