One Child Policy in China Every country has its own set of beliefs, laws, ideals, and practices. China has made a conscientious decision to adopt the one child policy for the past 20+ years. Although probably only a few leaders of China had the power to implement this idea, majority of the population have adopted/received this idea as acceptable. At least the majority of the population were not so outraged by this law to cause any major civil upheaval. So it’s really not anyone’s business to object to this policy other than Chinese families. Just like it’s not really anyone else’s business if America decides to gave amnesty to all the 11 million illegal immigrants in America. Unless you believe there is some great common human ideal that every living individual should be held to. But also keep in mind, in third world countries when you don’t have food to eat or a place to sleep and that’s you whole life, you can give a XXXX about those great moral responsibilities...off the topic... In terms of investing, there is no reason to not invest in China based on some population demographics due to the one child policy. Who knows what’s going to happen in 2030+. Could you predict that China and India...could get so much press today probably not. When investing, you should look do you really know this area of investment well, what the most probably 5 year payoffs are, and what other alternatives you have to invest in that time span. Make a decision and go with it, life is too short to wait around and mull over decisions. By the way I believe only people who have visited/lived in both China and US should comment about how bad each counties policies/practices/ideas are. Otherwise only ask why it is the way it is. |
