The number of people that this policy change will afrect is labout 2% of the child-bearing population. Assuming 500-million Chinese of child-bearing age, the law change will affect about 15-million of them, with barely half of them opting to do so. So at most, 10-million Chinese couples, out of about 500-million parents, will be affected by this change.

Improvement in the standards of child nutrition and heatlh care will probably increase China's population by more than this law will.

If anything, China can do with half of its population right now.

Yep, and most of south and southeast Asia. Actually, the entire world.

Well, really the only explosive population growth happening is Africa, followed by most Asian countries except China, South Korea, and Japan. Most of the population growth in the West is not because of births, it's immigration.

I doubt it. Due to economic reasons fertility rates will drop anyway. Taiwan, without the OCP, has an even lower birth rate than China, as does Singapore and Hong Kong.
