#1 I have said for a while that it was going to be hard for China to field its traditionally large land army in light of its one child per family policy - and even harder to convince parents to willingly send their only child off to some questionable war. Hence - nukes or cyberwarfare.

#2 ...and urged China to lift all birth controls "and encourage people to have babies".

We have that program here, its called welfare. Reproduce and get a full government subsidy, nothing expected in return (to include acting in a civilized manner).

#3 Meanwhile Major African expansion. Marry into local populations so as to have blood in the game. No limit of children here and they are taking full advantage of it. I would venture to say China has been purchasing everything they can get their hands on. I have heard 80% range of anything of value there. I say China because those who have arrived are totally loyal to China. Children however will be the real test in loyalty.

#4 Agrarian societies need children to work in the fields. But if you're a big city factory worker struggling to make ends meet in some tiny apartment the last thing you need is another baby to drain your time, energy and money.

#5 @Procopius2k

All that achieves is fertility redistribution, not more babies, just less babies by the productive more by the feckless.

#6 Problem is not the one child policy but that Chinese culture and access to abortion turned that into a one-male-child policy.

An excessive male population is generally bad news for the neighbors

#7 So the only thing concerning Ren Zeping is a drop in the demand for property?

#8 Confucius say, "China once teeming
With steaming vaginas, eyes gleaming,
But Party start scheming;
When wake up from dreaming,
Hear ten million Chinamen screaming."

#9 There sang a young man -- call him Sean --
One morn, by the Bann, in the dawn:
"Oh, thank you, Red star!
Now I'll march off to war
Or grow ancient romancing Miss Han!"

#10 Yes it's vitally important to subsidise rent-seeking firms at social expense lol.

It's amazing how many of these "we own land give us money" types there are.
