My dreams are dashed. I spoke to my friend about this and he said there is still a limit. They bumped it up from one to two. I'm guessing one boy and one girl because of the gender imbalance.
I just found out bout this recently too. One of the Chinese diplomats that I know just had his second child. I didn't wanna ask about it, but rather congratulated him.
Dunno, if you look at India, their population is close to China's. India vs China WW3 or India and China vs the world?
Dang I thought they were ahead of the times with the child limit... We cannot keep reproducing at the rate we are, the world isn't meant to have 7 billion people on it
They need more people to work in the factories. Everything is being built in China now a days. 90% of everything in Walmart is made in China
But the problem with having 7 billion people is you can't get all of them to do the right thing... Hell you can't even get 100 people to do the right thing. So most people just use use use without a care in the world. Which is not sustainable.
We really need to make better use of Antartica, Greenland, Northern Canada, Siberia, the Saharan desert and 95% of Australia that those ex-convicts can't figure out how to use. Not to mention we could do a better job of clear-cutting all the forests and jungles ... except we gotta watch out for that ebola critter.
A lot of very smart people disagree with you. Some very careful analyses say about 3 billion is what the world could hold indefinitely without mass extinction of other species. I mean... that ship has sailed, but just know that your "no problem" opinion is just that, an opinion.
Those analyses often don't consider a much higher usage of alternative sources (algae, insects, etc), alternative agriculture methods, potential foundation of new food processors and other factors. They are also just opinions and often based on narrow thinking, as many of those estimations are based on the assumptions that there will be no changes in our present diets.
Dumb comment considering how many people live in places like Phoenix and Las Vegas which are deserts.
