The loneliest number? China's one-child policy

At 1.1 billion and counting, China has more people than any nation on earth. To fight the threat of economic ruin due to overpopulation, the Chinese government introduced its one-child policy in 1979. Each married couple is permitted just one baby, though rural residents are allowed a second if the first is a girl. But, as the CBC's Tom Kennedy learns nine years into the policy, three-quarters of Chinese couples aren't stopping at one.

@SpicyHam Whose the invaders now? Stealing women from other countries. It's sick! Stop abandoning girl babies and treat them better, maybe you wouldn't have this problem.

Maybe they should have a zero child policy.

You westn invaders robbed China clean with the huge gold and silver robbery that happened before, and you call chinese people rice growing peasants? Gotta be kidding me.

You guys do know that more than half of the gold you see at buckingham palace is stolen from China?

@The93agape My exact sentiments you really need to go open your eyes more.

[The93agape]

@Lilzoify1 Honestly you are an idiot...it is kind of entertaining, but not enough to stick around.

[Lilzoify1]

@The93agape Our world and planet is bloody suffering from listening to those bloody elites. Yeah Easter Island is the perfect eg of what those elites did to the inhabitants there

[Lilzoify1]

@The93agape Yes it was colonialism that destroyed them one from the Dutch the other from these red headed elites who took away their resources, enslaved the poor natives made them fight one another. After the natives had enough they chased them away. Even till now some of the natives have red haired giants, blue eyes and darks skinned. Thats what the illumanti Rockerfella elites want you to believe. I know more about the easter islands then so called western media that manipulates the turth.

@Lilzoify1 I really encourage you to find out the truth...I did not post that to offend you or to argue, but the more people that realize what is going on with our world, maybe we can change it....Our world is overpopulated and our planet is suffering the consequences, as well as ppl in third world countries. Easter island is the perfect example and it actually was not colonialism that destroyed them.. that would be in the CONGO, but they destroyed themselves because they became so overpopulated
