The tragedy of China’s draconian population control policies is they were promoted to solve economic problems. The problem was the dreadful economic policies implemented by China’s elites! The one-child policy has led to massive infanticide, sex-selective abortions and much worse. Moreover, China is aging staggeringly fast. Its working-age population is shrinking, yet China remains poor; a profoundly undesirable combination. The new two-child policy will make, at most, a marginal difference.
