China population

In recent years, many countries have tried to control population, because those countries sometimes do not have enough money, food, or resources, so they notice population control; however, this action has a lot of problems too. I had an especially interesting time reading an article about China’s population. R-Saiget, in “Riots expose underside of China’s population control”, wrote that China used a special population strategy, which is family planning; however, this strategy created new problems. I will introduce this article.

This author tried to find the reason that, in China, people raised a revolt over the human rights abuse problem, from its only child policy. Baby trafficking was established as a new business in China, especially in the southern region, because they are poor people, which means they cannot raise babies easily. “Nicholas Becquelin, who is “Hong Kong-based research director of Human Rights Watch,” said the only child policy is one of the important factors. Usually, people who live in cities can have one child. If they live in the countryside and their first child is a girl, they can have a second child. However, most people want a boy child. Therefore, they check the child. If they have a girl child, some people abort. This action makes a strange condition, in which China has almost 40,000,000 more males than females. Moreover, this condition causes another factor too which is baby trafficking. They who are baby trafficking were used drug. After this affair, which was transitory, this principle was relaxed; however, this year this principle returned. The government wants to fix the population problem and finish the goal, which means people have a heavy handicap. Because of that, people have started start to rise in revolt against the rule. Because of those problems, the ratio for babies was 126 boys to 100 girls in Guangxi. The government intimidated the countryside people with this rule.

I think the China government should make recommendations, because if they keep giving too much strong pressure, the Chinese people will get very huge stress; moreover, the government hopes people will avoid big problems, so they made a population strategy; however, this action gave new problems. If the government cares for people, it does not have meaning. I strongly agree with this author’s opinions, which are that the only-child policy has a fault, and is not humanity action problems. Those problems are not just Chinese problems, which mean no one knows when we will get problems like those, so we must think about those problems. It is a starting line.

First, China has a special strategy about population, which is its only child policy, which means normally one family can make just one child; however, this conduct makes a very difficult problem too. It is especially out of balance in its average of boys and girls. Naturally, the percent by sex is 50/50; however, China is different, because China uses this policy; besides, they want to get boys. Therefore, many female children were aborted. As a result, this country is out of balance. This problem is very difficult, because this problem has its own lad result which means the government tries to fix huge population; however, the government must fix these problems for people.

Second, recently, China has had a strange event, which is that some girl children were killed, because in this country people can not get many children; however, they want to get a boy, so if they get a girl, sometimes they kill their own child, especially country people. Moreover, there is a new business, which is baby trafficking. They carry the girl babies. It is not humane. Of course they have lives. By the way, those actions rise up out of the unbalance; however, we must think about what the origin is. The origin is that the government started the only child policy. Many innocent girl children were killed, so we must stop now; therefore, we should think about what we can do.

Some people may argue that the only child policy is a success, because population growth is slower than before; however, they are wrong because they do not think about the future. In my country, Japan had a baby boom; however, the baby boom made one big problem, which is negative growth. Too many old people cannot get the pension, because Japan does not have many children. So sudden population changing usually makes big problems. We must guess about the future. If we will not guess, we will get big problems from our past action.

In conclusion, I can see the Chinese government try to fix those problems; however it is too much sudden action, which means that sudden decline in birth rate is very dangerous, because this action makes new problems. Moreover the only child policy is very dangerous too. If they keep this policy, their population will decline; however, it makes s horrible event and no humanity. It is a very difficult problem; however we must try to fix those problems; because many people are suffering and many girl children have been killed with the only child policy.
