I read somewhere that India will overtake China in population in the next 12 - 14 years. In my four trips to India during the past decade and a half it is my impression the Indians are keen to compete and rival China in the sphere of international economy and politics. As one Indian businessman told me, India and the US (and Canada) would be a excellent fit to subordinate China's ascendency on the world economic stage.

Having worked with many people from both countries...it'd be six of one, half a dozen of the other.
My brother was over there on work stuff and met many of the people. they are allowed to have more then one if they pay. the youngsters that are paid have attitudes and believe they are very special in a very solid and positive way, some of the people and the thinking is not as slow and rude as people think. this culture is getting so backdropped that it forgets what the basic raw working value factors are in the human brain.

Family has always been the caregiver to the elderly in China. Unlike Japan or Germany, there is no safety net.
The problems won't become apparent for awhile, as the one child generation is only 33 years old. Their parents are still in their 50's and younger. Wait a decade or two and watch the carnage.

The Chinese command realizes this. And as they evolve their economy and society, the people will make similar social and environmental demands as we did here in the USA the last century. It took the US a Depression and then War to evolve. China thinks it can do it via central mandates. And maybe it can. IMO it is inevitable that their societal/economic evolution will have include items like our SS program.

Japan hardly has anything resembling a safety net, and it's extremely difficult to access. The safety net in Japan is your family, extended family households are still common there.
China can still do with a lot less people anyway. Less people means that more income can be spread amongst those left alive. Living standards go up. Short term pain, long term prosperity. Westerners are too busy focusing on the next quarterly statement and next year's budget. China, Korea, and Japan focus on the next couple decades. This will be our Waterloo

You don't put your people to sleep in order to save money in a monetarily sovereign country! The money can always be created. It is the limited potential of goods and services that is the real controlling factor.
Bigger because they kept their boys and got rid of their girls.
What better way to limit procreation even further in addition to the one child policy? When you combine both you have a recipe for success. Just imagine a country of mostly men and no women. That's population control at it's finest.
