The one-child policy would be no problem if the Chinese were not so sexist for cultural reasons. If every couple simply accepted their first and only child regardless of its sex and used contraception thereafter, things would be fine. At least for a while, sooner or later a tsunami of old people would become a huge burden...
One child policy is wrong. The argument on "not enough" food to feed the population is a fallacy.
The reason why there was not enough food in the 60s and 70s because of the socialist system. It did not give the people an incentive to produce. All productions were belong to the government and then you were issued vouchers to exchange meat, rice and clothing. It was a depressing environment.
My mom used to tell me how great China was when Mao was ruling. You can leave door open and no one would take your stuff. My response to my mom: NO SH1T. No one own anything. What is there to steal?

Socialism is not the cause of children starving. Neither is capitalism the antidote to child malnutrition.
Eastern Europe was socialist, nut never experienced hunger outside of war or government caused famines. India is capitalist, and has more malnourished children than china ever did. Most African countries are capitalist, yet over 10 percent of the children born there will die of starvation.
^^^^^ for how long?? every place has a limit, including the earth...
I don't think we have even come close to that limit. The united stares is one of the least populated countries of the world. I think in terms overpopulation, only east Asia and south asia are pushing their limits.
Is this the same Bachmann who said she was going to be the President?LOLOLOL!!!!! Yes it is!
OOOps! Wrong yet AGAIN!!!
This the same Bachmann who wanted a McCarthy style investigation of members of Congress for anti-American( meaning not in agreement with her) statements.
Now, please have Ms. Submissive-to-her-husband show us some FACTS that PROVE that the garbage coming out of that overglossed mouth is true...
Open up the case of the computer you are typing on and look at the parts.
Then be careful while dismounting from high horse, don't want to sprain anything.
Why would I do that? I'm not going to.
At the same time, you are correct.
It's hard to escape anything made in China.
But I do the best I can. Especially when it comes to cheap crap "household" decorations and infant/baby/toddler toys.
Especially after I had a ton of the toys for my little one re-called due to China's neglect of even thinking that lead based paint was a "new" issue they should be concerned about.
How STUPID can one country be?
What did that little "issue" cost those fools - who knowingly did what they did?
Of all of the public goofballs in the USA this Bachmann has struck me as the absolutely goofiest of the bunch. Why would anything such a headcase says be news at all?
ANYONE who believes this, ANYONE who even suggests this, is a moron.
Unfortunately I already saw one person here post it as gospel. I didn't know Bachmann was behind it but obviously...
REALLY?! Bachmann is savvy for suggesting this. Maybe she paid closer attention to Obama's CZARS than you did.One of our subvservise-in-Chief's CZARS suggested that our population can maybe be sterilized by something being added to our drinking water that won't hurt the cattle. I'll go look up the name, but am guessing it was his Science CZAR.
His book also suggests putting a capsule under the skin of women because he admits the legal and technical problems with drinking water to sterilize a population.
Here, even a pic of the book and amazon will probably let us read inside it per their preview policy...
This is the sort of tripe the far right loonies are trotting out every week about Obama, which is complete fear mongering. Just when I think it is a joke or she is insulting everyone's intelligence, the flock will start parroting it like the gospel truth. I mean how low can one's standards get?
