I live in Africa. We have constant hunger and overpopulation is a major problem. People have as many children as they can and don't have enough money for food, let alone education, just like China several years ago. If we can have a one child policy out here, we would be 90% closer to solving Africa's problems.
Ps. I hope the culprits in the 7 month abortion case will be severely punished
You have these problems because African governments are too corrupt and incompetent to provide birth control options to their citizens. Forcing a one-child policy on Africans will help the continent about as much as food aid has.
This is your western idea to feed the poor hungry African! Show the world these horrable pictures of a skiny dying African child in their mother's arms and hope for big donation, and you can pocket them by hiring NGO workers (western salary to western workers) to help African...
To help yourselves in the name of helping the Africans.
What? That's certainly not MY idea of how to help Africa.
Exactly. Those societies need rule of law, paved roads, and most importantly, freedom.
Yes, freedom. Freedom to have children with different fathers and socially dependant! Great social welfare plan!!
Yo live in Africa and your problem is not constant hunger and overpopulation. Your problem is totalitarianism, a lack of a basic arbitration system to preserve property rights, hierarchical tribal societies without basic practice of social values that protect the product of individual work, and no free market. That's your problem. With ample resources you have poverty because of this. Add that NGO's pouring food and aid into small local markets and what you have is a welfare continent used by westerner socialist to maintain their gravy trains of cash for charities.
What do you think a small African wheat farmer thinks, when he sees the USAID trucks going by his property to flood the local market with food? Good intentioned charity has just destroyed any profit he could make from his hard work.
You keep sending aid to Africa, ad Africa will never come out of poverty.
"totalitarianism" not only the government but their husbands and men who control women like their access/property.
Yes, don't feed Africans instead give them a job, start from factory and farming. Labour intensive jobs is the primary solution in Africa for the next 10-20 years.
The only biological purpose of life is to reproduce and have as many children that you can successfully raise. The one child policy infringes of the most important human right: to reproduce. If there is over-population in an area, it will naturally go away. It will involve brutal starvation and displacement but the stronger, richer, healthier, and better people will survive.
Better to encourage population control than to force it.
When encourage is successful then no need to force. Obviously it is human nature to have more. Give me more land, food, house, auto, ....
It seems that you live in a wild jungle, instead of civilized city.
That's why we're superior to animals, we can keep our D**k inside our pants, or at least wear a condom
And it's no reproduction, it's survival
All I wish to do is express my remorse for the world being deprived of millions of the most lovely and beautiful creatures the world has to offer I.E. Chinese(Asian) women. If it were up to me I'd make sure there was one for every male on this planet and still wouldn't be enough.
I advise my fellow TE readers to give themselves a break from the debates of political policies and bask in the beauty of these four ethnic Chinese women rockers.

Nothing sexier than a woman that can rock let alone a Chinese woman that can rock. \m/(-__-)\m/ Rock on!!! Nothing really to add to this argument since this subject has been beaten to death in the last TE article. Mainly I believe one child was a necessary evil but the policy has run its course of usefulness. Time to abolish one child and bless this world with more Asian women. Do you guys agree?
Scheisse! Free the Music world.
Gema blocked this video in Germany. They are real devil in the world, not one-child-policy.
We surely do not have enough East Asian women here in Western Europe. For the past 65 years our governments have done everything to bring in the worst people this planet has to offer and not much else.
What is the name of this Rock Band because we cannot view the link you've put in your comment. It's blocked! So much for the free Western World!
Its blocked??? BLASPHEMY!!!!! Im in Vietnam and it's not blocked. The name of the band is Cherry Boom the song is Enough. Goodluck wicked girl band.
PS Love the Name Darwins Toothpick LOL
Yep! Thanks. Pretty good! Some music I could see and hear but not "Enough". Not available here. Yet?
I disagree with the one child policy, because I have seen other regions / countries in the world with more serious over population problems choose not to use it. Indonesia has a fertility rate about 2.2, achieved without a one child policy. What is more striking, is the fertility rates in Java and Bali have dropped below replacement. In Yogyakarta, its about 1.6 (about the same as the average in China).
Let's be reasonable and don't use scare mongering tactics when talking about population. The greatest drop in fertility rates was between 1969-1979, the ten years before the one child policy. It dropped from 5.74 to 2.74 in ten years, and it was steadily dropping. The sharp drop is due to the first generation of women who had universal education, entering their child bearing years and contraception.
The population would have increased to 1.6 to 1.7 Billion if they did not have the one child policy. We are not talking about 2 or 3 billion people. In terms of population density, China is not that densely population relative to India, in term of able to feed its population. Right now China has enough to fee itself, and easily 300-400 Million. The question is most likely Chinese would have to import more meat or people eat less of it. But we are likely talking about 15 kg less than they do now (about 55 KG). That is about two drum sticks a week. But in reality I doubt it would drop that much or drop at all.
China would most likely have normal sex ratio, labor shortages would most likely would starting 10 years from now rather than now. Its population pyramid would be healthier. Furthermore, there would be
1) Fewer lonely PRC men trolling these forums.
2) Fewer only children trolling this forum with nothing better to do.
3) Less interesting in Japanese Porno.
That will not stop Lonely-virtual-ghost-197-years-old-Zombie-Bismarck trolling in the internet.
Where is the Ghostbusters ??
I disagree with Bismarck's disagree!!
I support the one child policy if it can be applied to 10 year old German Chinese drug lords. I think you should abort your self with a Heroin overdose.
You know if you do first "abort your self with a Heroin overdose", I will do the same !!
Your English is appalling. I had to re-read that half a dozen times to get the gist of what you meant.
My God! Now you are a saint!!
Oh, the horrors of Japanese porn!!!
But seriously, it always kills me when people (and mostly they're people in comfortable circumstances, who have the privilege not to live in a cramped dump) claim that the one-child policy is a waste of time and effort, because it led to 'only' a couple million fewer Chinese. That's over 20% of the population! Imagine the whole developing world had managed to reduce its population by a quarter relative to what it is today: the world would be a much, much better place. I wish the USA would do something to curb its gass-guzzling population, too.
Sorry, You have to forgive him.
Bismarck is an Indian, he used to live in a cramped dump !
So he want Chinese do the same. He is a worldwide-drug-distributor, his operation is in underground, so police can't find him.
Is China exactly a dump. The irony is the average Chinese person has more space than the average person in Hong Kong, Japan, Netherlands etc, so there is a lot of space in China. The same with India.
The point is you don't have to do the dirty work, someone else does. Many of China's own demographers who designed the one child policy say that its wrong, and they should have opted for policies similar to Thailand/Indonesia. They knew that selective abortion/ female infanticide would have occurred, but they implemented the policy anyways. Chinese always brag about feeling the stones to cross the river. But in this case they did not follow their own advice.
Even India has enough food to feed its own people. In fact its a major food exporter. But why are people starving? It can range from poor logistics, government interference and a simple fact of banning plastic bags to store / transport food.
You are basing, and many of the posters here are basing their argument on a Malthusian argument, that the world is doomed to starve itself out when the population grows too large or that great availability of food leads to population growth. That is what happened in China during the 1700s. But since 1970 this has not been the case. Agricultural production has crown by leaps and bounds, and the fertility rate dropped sharply without the one child policy.
Like many overseas Chinese posters who worship the CPC, you just sit their make potshots at the people who criticize it. The one child policy should not have been implemented the way it was, they should have setup trial program to see its impact. Why didn't they?
As backward as Indian you are, you should know Chinese don't want that! Simple !
As a lowest class of Dalit as you are now, you could only know human life are just for food, but Chinese are for decent life.
I grew up in the Netherlands. Fortunately, the Dutch are rich enough to live good lives, but it is annoying, to say the least, living in such a densely populated country, and the air quality also suffers. Moreover, people / sq mi is not the right statistic to look at: the Netherlands has no uninhabitable mountains or deserts like China does.
My point was that it was a great boon to China to have so many fewer people. Whether it could have been achieved differently is open to debate, but the leaders had to make a decision one way or the other, and chose the safest route, especially given the enormous size of the country they were running.
As to the supposed refutation of Malthus that Westerners love to go on about, it's partly an illusion. For us it worked out OK, since we have the technology, but in the third world, life is tough, especially now that they have western medicine without western productivity and fertility. India may be able to feed its population, but what does that say? Is bare subsistence a measure of success? We're banking on technology to save us over and over again, which is a very irresponsible gamble, in my view. When the oil runs out and/or global warming sets in, reducing crop yields and expanding the desert, will the scientists be able to yet again save the day? There is no accurate way to model technological advancement, so there is no way to know whether it will be sufficient or not. And like I said, in many poorer countries, even the Green Revolution has not been enough to prevent widespread famine, epidemic and sheer misery.
The problem with India is not yields, but distribution and corruption.
Secondly, how many countries actually applied the Green Revolution? In Africa? Much of Africa is not even irrigated.
Exactly. The third world is a mess. They can't afford to have so many babies with zero future prospects. It sounds harsh, but it's the way it is.
Green revolution is in China. China now export batterie Bus to Germany. Some one is testing this bus in Berlin, and Daimler, BMW, VW all rolling their eyes. They had never think of batterie Auto is do-able ! Now they must copy China !!
a decreasing number of population is needed, but if the policy is not a "suggested" one but "forced" one, it's just another joke for the world.the country should never consider citizens as animals which it can decide have more or fewer
i suppose you say it to those who have kids but no money to raise them.
Yes, those teenage single mother contribute nothing but babies and put the burden to the society. Right! That is really typical developed society's by-products.
How is the forced abortion of a 7 month old fetus not murder? And how is it that a government systematically forcing this upon a country's people is not a crime against humanity under international accords?
I am Chinese, I am very sad
There is no doubt that the one child policy is right. To have too many child is really a curse, as I know, it's a custom to have many children in the rural area. My gradma have as many as 10 kids, it's a really heavy burden, they can't receive good education and even suffer starvation. The Chinese is so skilled to find loophole that if the government don't take draconian measure the situation can't be controlled. But it unacceptable too cruel to force abortion of a seven month old fetal which is absolutely against humanity. As the policy "ji hua sheng yu" have been carried out for many years, I believe that most of Chinese know the necessity to have fewer kids. China faces an aging population which is one consequence of "ji hua sheng yu", it's the time to loosen the policy somehow.
Let's focus on the point: we don't care so much about the one-child plicy per se, which has been and will continue to be controversial, but about the way the government implement it - to force abortion like an evil. No matter how many reasons you may raise to support the policy, there should be none to support the atrocious harm to the mother and killing of the baby. You cannot say that such evil behaviours also happen in other corners of the world so they are no longer evil. The real tragedy for China and the whole nation which I'm born to belong to and love is that after so many years of atrocity of the government in every affair of the country, not only its officials but also more and more the ordinary people have become more and more easy with and accustomed to even the most nasty acts in this world. While this government has brought tremendous economic benefits to the people, it is concurrently leading the whole country into a ridiculous disaster in terms of culture, humanity and social morals. And there is no reason to trade economic benefits with life, health, dignity and other basic rights.
Wow! And you people wonder why so many of us (still some anyway) in the US want limited government? Reading the comments below should make it clear why we don't want our "betters" to run our lives for us, for this or worse is always the end result.
Overpopulation is a curse - a brutal curse. You have to live in it to understand it. As simple as that. Therefore, one-child policy is absolutely necessary. Outrage over one single or several cases of overzealous local official in enforcing the policy is understandable, but should not and will not change the policy. Late term abortions are not that uncommon in the west, so why cry foul when it comes to China?
I am not gonna lie, I do occasionally use an old copy of the Economist to swat a fly, but always old. I do realize that it is mostly for reading.
Did you not read the line where, oh, I don't know, a number like 14 million is printed?
The difference here is painstakingly obvious. It makes no difference to this mother if someone in America wants a late-term abortion. She did not want one, and that's where it becomes incredibly wrong to force her to have one. The outrage here isn't strictly the one-child policy, and overpopulation is certainly a burden. However it is absolutely despicable to bring bodily harm onto someone and their unborn child.
"She did not want one, and that's where it becomes incredibly wrong to force her to have one."
Why is it ok for the woman to kill her baby but not for the government?
"She did not want one, and that's where it becomes incredibly wrong to force her to have one."
Why is it ok for the woman to kill her baby but not for the government?
Yes, the result is the same: Chinese/American woman had an abortion. But this event is not a "state function" where only the end result matters (everyone likes physics right?) It's so much about how to get there:
American woman, with her own will, goes to a hospital and get an abortion.
Chinese woman, runs around town, then a mountain, then to some hut of a friend, hides under a what must be a very high bed from several to avoid a few muscles while she's 7 months pregnant.
I'm not making a claim that abortion is right or wrong. I'm claiming that it is wrong to chase a pregnant woman, stab her belly with an injection and force her to do something against her will. It is wrong to force bodily harm on someone. Think what you will about abortion itself.
The Chinese are known to abort if they know it is a female, they don't do this because of the one child policy as it is a cultural thing. Let's not get all outraged over the one child policy, it should be that way everwhere.
Abortion forces bodily harm on the baby. You are applying your rule arbitrarily to the woman, but not the baby.
"Overpopulation is a curse - a brutal curse. You have to live in it to understand it. As simple as that. Therefore, one-child policy is absolutely necessary."
Its not overpopulation the problem. Is the Fascism that causes the lack of resources to sustain population and the welfare programs that make child bearing and rearing free on on some what causes the overpopulation.
The evil one child policy is treating the symptoms with a draconian solution. With unintended consequences. Socialism and fascism are truly a disease of the mind. You can thank Marx and Lord Keynes for that.
No, I personally agree that it is bodily harm onto the baby, specially since it is already 7 months developed. I was only speaking strictly about the mother in my previous comment because not everyone agrees that abortion (even late term) constitutes harm to an unborn child, but not even the commenter that I was replying to would deny that it constitutes harm to the woman.
Fair enough.
It is time to end the one child policy.
The promoting of population control in the interest of economic growth on this comment thread is just astounding. Economic growth produces population control itself.
I'm not interested in the xenophobia here. Everyone please just take a breath and watch this:
I agree; Human beings are the source of wealth and everything that is good like art, music, development, etc. This idea that we need to control human population because of resource depletion is a lie from socialist. Socialist and fascist ideology, along with the central planning engendered by such ideology is the cause of poverty, and what the destruction of the Earth resources. Allow the free market to exist and you will see how population control will be a thing of the past.
Saddened by the story, but glad to see this come out in the open -- finally. I worked in China briefly in 2004, in Shaanxi in fact, and was horrified by some of the allegations made by the local residents regarding forced abortions, who were in turn then reprimanded by the officials for 'making up' stories to outsiders! China's government justifies population control as a means to economic development--but economic development for whom? Do they not see that the resulting imbalanced demographic coupled with hundreds of millions of kids without siblings is bound to create massive social issues that economics cannot solve....?
Disgusted as well, but do not fall prey to China's justification for a second -- population control does not produce economic growth. People control their own births as natiional income grows.
Thanks, couldn't agree more.
And not unexpectedly, it is clear they have a number of people 'undercover' on the prowl on this website to defend their inhumanity. And it stinks!
WHO estimates 400m births have been averted due to the one child policy. Now imagine those 400m people where alive in China today. GDP per capita would be lower, the limited resources of china be more streched, and China would be dependent on agricultural exports to feed its people.
On the local scale, the policy is unethical but you cannot denie that bigger picture is alot brighter thanks to the one child policy.
But i guess its easy for me to judge. Out here in Australia. I can see the bigger picture clearer than the one on the ground. But if i was in China, im sure id reach a different conclusion.
Also why do people in China have more than one child when they know what the likely concequences are. Is it cause they lack the cognitive ability to understand the policy, is it cause they believe they will be the exception, or is it because they were just to stupid to use a condom. Seriously you broke the law. Expect the concequences.
Rosa Parks also broke the law.
More children mean more producers. This kind of fixed-pie argument is absurd.
More people also means more consumers to build a critical mass of population density.
No one should come to bodily harm for breaking a law, and one that is null if you can fork over some money. A lot of laws throughout history have been completely unjust. Sure you can expect the consequences when you break the law, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't fight it. The article itself stated that the Chinese Government is very irregular in how it enforces the one-child policy, with less than 40% of the population subject to it. It would appear that those in power really aren't worried so much about the future of the Chinese people, but more about the money they can get from the people. If they did care, they wouldn't allow 60% of the population to be exempt.
That said, it is easy for us to sit behind our computers and talk about how ideal it would be for the population to lower: less competition in the job market, less dependence on governmental aid, etc etc. But do you disagree that we have a right not to be subject to bodily harm because we couldn't afford a fee? It is not and should never in the government's power to chase down a woman, forcefully inject her with some chemical and force her into labor to bear her now dead 7 month old. It doesn't matter what golden idealistic standard they are "upholding." And I think if you held these Chinese people with the same esteem as you likely hold yourself and your peers, you would see this.
*Also, accidents happen. It does not mean she was stupid because she ended up pregnant.
More people also means more consumers to build a critical mass of population density.
You mean India!!
Fixed pie argument? What on earth are you talking about? For most of us, the goal is to maximize PER CAPITA welfare, not to generate as many 'producers' as we possibly can to build a titanic economy and feel all big and powerful. If anyone is being absurd here, it's clearly you.
"WHO estimates 400m births have been averted due to the one child policy. Now imagine those 400m people where alive in China today. GDP per capita would be lower, the limited resources of china be more streched, and China would be dependent on agricultural exports to feed its people."
The GDP is lower because of fascism and socialism, not the amount of people. The people are the producers. It is socialism and fascism policies and govt the ones wasting the resources and lowering GDP.
Dear JRTur. I have just reviewed all of your comments, and I think it is just so admirable how You so firmly, most passionately believe in the things You say. Clearly, whoever reads you, must think "this guy here is right". So was Newton. He's dead. And wrong.
It is just amazing how some people's stupidity can exceed mine. Not necessarily Yours though.
And yet read the article in Nature (I could mail it to You - give me an address). The free market mechanisms may control everything towards what we call "it just happened naturally" (actually and surprisingly, that is - the aim), but a day may come, when, e.g., there will be no fresh water left (drastically hypothetically). It happened naturally, yes, we'll say. But does that mean that it is "good" or "bad"? If You are somehow able to say that these two concepts are irrelevant, then You are a gigantic philospher somehow able to leave Your own human-ness, the fact you are a homo sapiens who has an identity, an identity that You are imprisoned in. It is as if You're saying: You know, I could just drop dead here and now - if it's natural. I am not able to do that. I care for my own survival which - ok, a cliche - is the ultimate ideology: not Marxism (socialists, nazi's (?) and fascists), not Neoliberalism You are advocating. I just think I have a little better chance to survive, if I (even if only misguidedly) CONTROL things. Try to, at least. In my native Lithuanian we have a word "savieiga" - que sera, sera. Yes, that may very well be the principle of the universe (nature, the "there's no God"). But it is not the principle of culture, not the principle of civilization in general. Because a human being is a little animal capable of KNOWING and therefore BEING AFRAID OF his own death. Therefore some place deep deep in my heart I whish good luck to all those saying that all the problems of the world could be solved by simply putting a total ban on advertisement/PR - people would not want what they do not want. Oh, an unnatural way to control their natural passions it is - but it is "good". Because, an egocentric and egoist that I am (would You be so brave (lying?) as to say that you are not that?) - I know that control of others increases my chances to live a minute longer.
Will You dare to accuse me of being afraid to die?
Aren't You?
You say a lot of things in your comment. Just let me address one. You say; "there will be no fresh water left (drastically hypothetically)."
That is not so. The reason water scarcity exist is that govt typically controls the infrastructure to deliver water through monopolies. Such infrastructure decays because by having monopolies, those few companies have no competition. Therefore, those cartelized interests have no need to innovate and increase productivity. They end up pay huge pensions to unions and fall behind to population growth. Then enters the govt and starts subsidizing them because before you know it those cartels have become unprofitable, in part also because as a condition of granting a monopoly, the water companies accept governments price controls. Price controls that assure universal access. But since we all pay such low price for water, not matter how scarce or abundant, then we waste it with 30 mins showers, lawn over watering, and huge pools. So there you have it, socialism and fascism in the name of universal access have cause a water scarcity, that you will blame on over population.
No lets see what would happen on a free market. In a free market there are multiple suppliers of water. All making a profit by lowering their cost, and increasing their productivity, by finding new sources and developing new technologies to extract and purify water. You would never run out of water, because when you get scarcity, price would increase, making people more conscious on how they use it. Nevertheless, that momentary increase in water prices would signal entrepreneurs to bring more water from other places where water is abundant, just to make a profit. Then your scarcity disappears and then your prices go down once more. Such is the econodynamic of the free market profit making. But you probably think profit is evil. Well, profit is the only thing which entices human beings to produce everything beautiful in the world.
I don't advocate Neoliberalism, I advocate free market and freedom without govt coercion or excess regulation of everything.
Do you see the fallacy of your arguments? I cannot dispute every one of them.
I think (and it is very human of me to do so) that I have a better chance of survival if I belong to some kind of paradigm, and am not a part of war of everyone against everyone (i.e. Your "freedom without government coercion"). The very principle of being a human is the want "to see an order in things". Maybe I should go read something about chaos theories, because You seem to say that regardless of our whishes, there IS order in everything, in chaos even.
Yes, probably, You are right, it is possible that without knowing it I might think that profit is evil, somewhere deep in me. But that is only because I have spent too much time reading Erich Fromm's "To Be or to Have". ... No, come to think of it, in truth, I do not think that profit is evil. I think that profit is irrelevant. What is evil, is the very thinking that profit is good.
Thanks for Your thoughts. In my home country I own a regional newspaper (and believe You me - I don't do it for profit! For the social weight, perhaps, for the sense of authority, even). I would like to keep in touch with you. Please, send me Your address, should You see a prospect of "profit" in it. It's "jacobs_coffee" at "mail.lt" (yeah, stupid, but I had to (I was "coerced to") give the account some name).
"In my home country I own a regional newspaper (and believe You me - I don't do it for profit!"
So basically, you are a greek god which has no need for food or shelter. If you make any salary or pay over your cost to run the newspaper, you are making a profit.
As I said, that is not what is motivating me though.
I am not rich - because of that.
I am doing it for reasons, I see, You have some difficulty to undertand. Money is just a byproduct. It is just like with Darwin. OK, everyone "believes" in evolution ("knows it's a fact"), so do I, but then again, when it comes to altruism - every Darwinist get's disarmed. I am agreeing to die so you could live, and that's in my own interest to survive? I know there are tons of theories trying to deal with this, but what it comes to - there is really, at least a possibility for, "unearthly", psychological and yet immaterial causes. I know You will try to convince me that it's all out of my own materialist interest. So, in this domain, consider me already informed.
OK, this is going nowhere. Please don't reply. Otherwise I'll feel compelled, out of politeness, to write something, too. (So, maybe there is something Greek and "God-like" about me, after all. "God-like" - You, probably, condemn the very concept. Consider me informed here too.)
agreed, too few people are asking why they even have the child in the first place, when they know the law says they can't.
an analogy in the US, if a cop tells someone to put his hands in the air, and he stick his hand into the pocket and pulls out a toy gun, consequences could be fatal. there will be huge outrage if this happens, but according to the line of thinking of this article and a lot of its commentors, we should pass a law allowing people to do exactly the opposite of what cops tell them and forbidding cops from doing anything about it.
When journalists report on policies such as the one-child policy, there tends to be certain biases.
Let me draw an analogy here: suppose you're a risk manager and you do your job well (i.e. no major losses happen, nothing newsworthy to report), then what you've done usually go unnoticed; however, if you made a mistake and failed to prevent a major loss, all bad spotlight would shine on you.
Shocking story sells well. But the positive externalities of the policy, such as increased standard of living per person and increased access to resources per person, are often ignored because they're not "newsworthy".
While I don't doubt the facts reported in this article and I certainly believe the policy and its execution need some major reform, the basic idea of population control is, I believe, supported by the majority of the Chinese citizen. If one ever lived in China one should recognize overpopulation is a huge problem and the root cause to many other problems (such as environmental degradation). I remember reading a report saying that if an average Chinese consumed the same amount of resource as an average American, then it would take 4 earth to sustain such consumption. So to those who fundamentally oppose the idea of population control, could you answer the following:
Do you think a Chinese/Indian citizen has the right to strive to attain the same standard of living as an American citizen?
If your answer is Yes, then could you tell me how we can come up with 3 more earth?
So what about killing your children, and give the resources you would normally use to raise them to some Chinese or Indian family, to increase their living standard? After all, maybe it's you and your family who overpopulates the Earth. And the question probably isn't whether Chinese have the right to live as Americans do, but whether anybody has the right to consume as much as an average American, including Americans.
If you educate and emancipate people, population control will follow. Look at the first world countries.
Do you believe, sir, that a majority of chinese citizens support chasing pregnant women around while their husbands are away, holding them down, and aborting their children while they laugh at them?
Oops, I forgot to read the end of your argument where the meat was -- google Hans Rosling and watch his talks on population. You are sorely wrong about the future of economic growth, its consequences on population, and on its demands on the Earth. We weren't using the same technology fifty years ago that we are now, and we won't be in another fifty. That's how we've been able to feed more people, lower birth rates in almost all countries in the world, reduced our rates of resource extraction, and start to develop renewable technologies.
No, I don't. If we're discussing this specific incident, I completely agree with you that every aspect of it is horrifying. If we're discussing the principles of a policy, then I believe it's best not to use anecdotal evidences.
The appalling and sad photo of this victim and the baby doesn't seem to move some pro-China government readers in this section. Instead, they've tried so hard to distract the attentions by fingering India, America, and any others despite being totally irrelevant to the 7-month pregnant Chinese woman whose baby was killed.
These trolls have been very active in the Economist for a year. Whether paid or not, what do you really defend? From your cold-blooded comments, I don't even see how you can help to promote the image of your country.
It's ironic that those guys feel always angry when talking about victims in a distant past generation who were killed by foreign enemies, while showing such a greatly indifferent attitude to a murdered Chinese baby girl in their next generation.
Your patriotism is corrupt.
Every normal human being would sympathize with the victim in this article. But I think you're missing some of the comments' points. People are quick to make sweeping generalization from shocking stories. Some local officials' wrongdoings don't necessarily mean that the policy itself has no merit. One can agree with the principle of this policy (most likely from an utilitarian point of view) without agreeing with its implementation. If one's opinions on certain principles differ from yours, you don't have to jump to the conclusion that it's because "their patriotism is corrupt."
No, the policy has no merit on statistical, empirical, social scientific grounds. It has *even less* merit on ethical grounds. *Less still* on political theoretic grounds. And the (if even just occasional) forced abortion make it completely inhuman.
As much as my American multi-culturalism begs me to sympathize with and understand the Chinese deference to hierarchy and State power, the story made me absolutely sick. And I wonder why you would pick this forum to make a fledgling defense of Chinese patriotism. I, after all, don't troll Al Jezeera trying to legitimize American patriotism at the bottom of articles about children blown up by drones in Pakistan.
Where is your evidence that the policy has "no merit on statistical, empirical, social scientific grounds"? Are we supposed to trust you?
I disagree with your opinion regarding the merit of the policy. I'm not defending Chinese patriotism, on the contrary, I believe some of the method used (namely forced abortion) cannot be justified.
For a complex social problem such as overpopulation, there's no solution that's simple, easy, and effective. If every developing country just let its population grow until it has reach the developmental stage where birthrate naturally falls, then there would be so many people on this earth and no resources left to even support human decency.
You say "Some local officials' wrongdoings ..." --- Only "some"? There have been so many already for so many years and far more un-reported, and you know it - unless you live in a very special part of China or outside it. When such terrible things happened in the beginning years of the implementation of the policy, we would regard them as an "isolated incident" unexpected/unintended by the government. But 30 years have passed and such things keep happening, in this new 21st century. People have every reason to believe that the Birth planning Commission tolerate and even assist in such "modes of work" as an effective warning to those to-be-forced-abortions. The government has the right to design and implement its policy. However, no government should be entitled to implement its policy like this. If you don't agree, then imagine the forced mother and the killed baby are your family member or relative or even your neighbour. And if you live in the rural area of the country, where I'm from, you will be able to understand the situation much better.
Evil communist dictatorship.
China is a special case, it has the 1 child policy because it needs the one child policy. In most situations this would be outlandish and uncalled for, but China is not most situations, it is country with 1.3 billion with the majority of that population living in a narrow strip along the coast. That doesn't mean that in executing the policy that excessive cruelty be used, but let's face it, the policy is there because it is needed.
Instead of talk geared towards its repeal, the discussion should be about India implementing such a policy as it needs it more desperately now than China ever did. India is a smaller country, more crowded, with a higher growth rate.
If every additional person from China and India will be allowed to migrate to Canada then I am all for it. Wait, then there is Indonesia, Mexico, ... Nah there is always Siberia, and Greenland.
Why not America too. The land did not belongs to the Angol-Saxon !!
We don't have 1.3 billion people that's why, it has nothing to do with who is on the land and everything to do with how many.
Perhaps you should re-read what I wrote, I was defending the policy. I think that you are so heavily on the defensive you are just lashing out at everyone now.
No, I live here and would like more space. LOL
You need to watch Hans Rosling's videos on population. He's an international authority. Your intuition about the relationship between overpopulation and its alleged damaging affect on economic growth is, well, just dead wrong.
I was not commenting on your. You barked on the wrong people.
I am for one-child-policy, but not forced abortion in the late term pragnancy like this.
Most of the commenters here are like you, they don't have to deal with the huge Chinese population so they can BS in the net.
Talking is cheap...LOL
Well you live in Germany, you don't have to deal with anything, because you are a ten year old. China's population density is not that high, she has three major river basins. America by the way only has one. People like you exaggerate the consequences, and talk about people starving etc. Have you seen people starving? I have (famine conditions). Do you know how rice/wheat is grown? Most of the poster's here don't, yet because they are Chinese they can start lecturing people agricultural policy.
Just because you are Chinese you think know about food self-sufficiency or agriculture. I am sorry the only agriculture you know is growing opium.
The thing is the one child policy was implemented in 1978, when China just began her agricultural reforms. China at the time was still suffering from food shortages. Within 2-3 years of market reforms, the situation changed from shortages to abundance in 2-3 years. Instead, they used China's track record for the last 28 years for justification of the policy.
Had it been posted until the late 1980s, the Chinese leadership would never have devised such a policy, because by that time would have been unnecessary.
Again, stop injecting yourself with heroin, and inject some reasoning and knowledge into that thick ten year old skull of yours.
As usual an Indian you are, big talking is cheap!
Insulting is even cheaper!
I think you got the wrong person. I mentioned nothing about population and economics.
The most disgusting aspect on Feng's case is the mentality of those family planning officials throughout the whole saga.
Are these CCP cadres (who were all violating the law since the law stipulated that no forced abortion can be done past 5-month pregnancy) dads and moms? What were their feelings when they witnessed Feng haplessly losing her baby? What were their feelings when they saw the aborted 7-month fetus already having the features of a human being?
Even many fellow posters could not stand the linked gruesome picture. Imagine how you would feel if you were one of the participants.
And all the cruelties were just related to RMB40,000 (about US$24,000). So even after they have divided the money up, how would they feel when they spend the share they earned?
They are indeed monsters.
It is so ironic that China set up so many Confucius Institutes worldwide -- but it has forgotten that the most important virtue which Confucius emphasized is "Kindness".
Because of Confucius that is why we are experiencing today's sexual imbalace. Did you remember those 封建社會 old Cantonese movie of 白燕 or 黃曼尼. How those father/mother-in-law push the daughter-in-law to have baby son. It is not fictional, but actual social problem just 50 years ago in Hong Kong.
Besides you blamed the Monster official's wrong doing, you should also blame those Monster parents to kill baby girl for a son.
Confucianism depended on a normal family, IE, more than 1 child per generation. The hierarchy of the average family is the hierarchy of the society. When the 1 child policy was implemented, it destroyed the very foundation of Confucianism. If effect Deng did 1 stroke what Mao could not do in 30 years.
People have sons instead of daughters not because of Confucius but because that they are trying to preserve what is left of Confucianism in the face of the 1 child policy. The gender skew we see today is due to the 1 child policy not being compatible with traditional Chinese culture instead of the other way around. HK, Taiwan and Singapore all managed fine with traditional culture in place.
Please do not use the ideology of 2 Germans, 2 Russian and 1 school principle to refute the millennium old cultural system of China.
I think you should become a population control official in CHina, and lend you expertise in ODing babies. Just inject heroin in to the fetus and OD them. You should serve your country. And they should use your talents
You are obviously the stake-holder in the hierarchy of the society. We are living in a modern day, which 女人撐半邊天 (at least on paper worldwide). And in modern day, these 封建 Chinese parents still thinking of a son to inherit the family. Even in old days of China, "A" family (no son, only daughter) can take a man from another family to marry their daughter, and all the babies will named after this "A" family.
Confucius is not a piece of wood, can't be changed. Only people like you is a square wood 四方木 can't change. 因材施教 (Individualized) is the principe of Confucius's teaching.
When everyone followed one-child-policy then there will not be sexual imbalance. Now China is easing this policy anyway. Will see what happen next.
No, I will sell your Bismarck-meat-drug back to you!!
Anti-baby-pills is cheaply available, why killing. You Stupid !!
I am talking about people who's try to have more than one baby and hide until its too late to you "anti-baby pills", you will be responsible for arresting those mothers and finishing the baby off. You have the skill and mental ability. You should be proud. China needs more ten year old drug dealing abortionist.
India need more 197-years-old-fake-Bismarck to boost its population so India is a truely world biggest demoCrazy!! You will be King of India!! No need to rent a wife. Many women will queue up for your choice.
Please do not use the ideology of 2 Germans, 2 Russian and 1 school principle to refute the millennium old cultural system of China.
Sound really familiar to me. Yeah Indian Caste culture---the untouchable culture !!
PL123 you should just shut up, this whole debacle is absolutely disgusting, stop trying to defend the One Child Policy or blame Confucius, its not defensible. I would prefer it if China had 2 billion people or whatever than this atrocity.
By the way, among my grandma's 24 grandchildren, there are more girls than boys.
"By the way, among my grandma's 24 grandchildren, there are more girls than boys."
That was because your family gene, but when you introduce 2-child-policy but the couple still don't have a son, then they will kill a baby girl. Lucky your rich (relatively) family is in Malaysia and away from this policy. We are talking about parents who is relatively poor and JUST managed to support a small family. How you can expect them to give education and a decent life to 2nd child and on.
Who said Confucius culture can't be changed! As i said you people's mind are a piece of stone, Confucius is not like that, he teaches people according to their ability.
I support one-child-policy but object late term abortion. Fair is fair to everyone when no one kill baby girl, there will not be sexual imbalance so strong like today. Why on earth people need more people on earth!? It is not only food (rice) but a decent life.

Verbatim | State Department statement
The State Department issued the following statement on Friday, Sept. 21, 2012 to accompany release of the names of 55 Guantánamo captives cleared for release from the Pentagon's prison camps in Cuba. There are 167 detainees at Guantánamo, and the list indicates that the name of one other captive was withheld by order of a federal appeals court.
"As the United States made clear in its filing to the court, the circumstances that created the original need for protection of this information have changed. The United States originally sought protection of this information in order to maintain flexibility in its diplomatic engagements with foreign governments on potential detainee transfers, especially in cases of resettlement in third countries, rather than the detainees' respective countries of origin.
"The efforts of the United States to resettle Guantánamo detainees have largely been successful – they have resulted in 40 detainees being resettled in third countries because of treatment or other concerns in their countries of origin since 2009. An additional 28 detainees have been repatriated to their countries of origin since 2009, and two have been transferred to a third country for prosecution.
"Of the 56 remaining detainees approved for transfer, only a small number require resettlement in a third country due to humane treatment concerns. Thus, there is no longer a need to protect this information from public disclosure."

Is the author of a new Oprah-touted love story the next James Frey?
Since going public with his story a decade ago, Herman appeared twice on"The Oprah Winfrey Show", who called it"the single greatest love story, in 22 years of doing this show, we've ever told on the air," and has been featured on the Hallmark Channel, Lifetime Television, and CBS News. He has been the subject of newspaper articles and inspirational mass-email chains. In March, a feature film, Flower of the Fence, based on Herman's life, is scheduled to go into production with a budget of $25 million dollars. A children's book, Angel Girl, was published in September. Berkley Books' Angel at the Fence has all the makings to become a best-seller. Berkley's winter catalogue for booksellers and reviewers describes Angel at the Fence as"the true story of a Holocaust survivor whose prayers for hope and love were answered," noting that it makes"a perfect Valentine's Day gift."...
An increasing number of prominent Holocaust scholars say no. Though archival records show that Herman was interned in concentration camps during the war, scholars who are investigating the story believe that the central premise of his narrative--that a girl met him at the fence and that very girl became his wife--is, at the very least, an embellishment, and at worst, a wholesale fabrication...

Financial Audit:
Special Counsel Expenditures for the Six Months Ended March 31, 2007
GAO-07-1205: Published: Sep 28, 2007. Publicly Released: Sep 28, 2007.
Additional Materials:

(202) 512-9521
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
This report presents the results of our audit of expenditures reported by the Office of Special Counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald for the 6 months ended March 31, 2007. The Department of Justice and the independent counsels are required under 28 U.S.C. 594 (d)(2), (h) and 596 (c)(1) to report on a semiannual basis the expenditures from a permanent, indefinite appropriation established within the Department of Justice to fund independent counsel activities. Under 28 U.S.C. 596 (c)(2), we are required to audit the statement of expenditures prepared by any active independent counsels. For the 6 months ended March 31, 2007, there were no active independent counsels. However, we audited the statement of expenditures of Special Counsel Fitzgerald, who is authorized by the Department of Justice to fund his operation from the permanent, indefinite appropriation. The Ethics in Government Act of 1978 amended title 28 of the United States Code to authorize the judicial appointment of independent counsels when the Attorney General determines that reasonable grounds exist to warrant further investigation of high-ranking government officials for certain alleged crimes. The independent counsel law, which expired on June 30, 1999, was intended to preserve and promote the accountability and integrity of public officials and of the institutions of the federal government. Provisions of the law allowed the independent counsels serving at the expiration date to continue investigating pending matters until they determined that the investigations of such matters have been completed. As ordered by the Special Division, the Office of Independent Counsel Barrett, the last independent counsel to serve under the law, was terminated on May 3, 2006, and accordingly, no longer prepares a statement of expenditures. However, after that date, the Administrative Office of the United States Courts (AOUSC) continued to perform administrative responsibilities and maintain the administrative records for the terminated office. During the 6 months ended March 31, 2007, several payments on that counsel's behalf were made, including $26,922 primarily for severance pay, $6,991 for printing of the final report, and $1,113 for support services rendered by AOUSC.4 However, we are not expressing an opinion on these amounts.
In our audit covering the 6 months ended March 31, 2007, we found (1) the statement of expenditures for the Office of Special Counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald, is presented fairly, in all material respects, in conformity with the basis of accounting described in note 1 of the counsel's statement, which is principally the cash basis, a comprehensive basis of accounting other than U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; (2) Special Counsel Fitzgerald had effective internal control over financial reporting (including safeguarding assets) and compliance with laws and regulations as of March 31, 2007; and (3) no reportable noncompliance with laws and regulations we tested. Our audit was designed to determine whether the statement of expenditures is fairly stated in all material respects. We were not required to express an opinion on the reasonableness or appropriateness of any related expenditures and we are not expressing any opinion thereon. The statement of expenditures, including the accompanying notes, for the Office of Special Counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald presents fairly, in all material respects, the expenditures of the counsel for the 6 months ended March 31, 2007, on the basis of accounting described in note 1 of the counsel's statement. The counsel prepared the statement of expenditures principally on a cash basis of accounting, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The basis of accounting is described in note 1 of the counsel's statement. The counsel's statement includes only expenditures made from the permanent, indefinite appropriation. Special Counsel Fitzgerald maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting (including safeguarding assets) and compliance with laws and regulations as of March 31, 2007, that provided reasonable assurance that misstatements, losses, or noncompliance material in relation to the statement of expenditures would be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Our opinion is based on criteria we established in our Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government. Our tests for compliance with selected provisions of laws and regulations disclosed no instances of noncompliance that would be reportable under U.S. generally accepted government auditing standards. However, the objective of our audit was not to provide an opinion on overall compliance with laws and regulations. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Apple e-book price-fix trial set for May, hundreds of millions at stake
- Vincent Lara-Cinisomo, Web contributor
A federal judge on Tuesday set a trial for next May to determine the damages against Apple -- which could be in the hundreds of millions -- in an e-book price-fixing case.
The Cupertino company was widely expected to appeal the ruling from U.S. District Judge Denise Cote when she ruled last month it was guilty of illegal e-book price fixing. It is unclear if that happened.
"The plaintiffs have shown that Apple conspired to raise the retail price of e-books and that they are entitled to injunctive relief," Judge Cote wrote in her opinion.
Federal prosecutors argued Apple used the launch of the forthcoming iPad to break up Amazon's grip on the e-book market. Up until that point, Amazon sold e-books through a traditional retail model, buying copies of the e-book from publishers at wholesale prices, and then choosing their own prices at the retail level—just like a traditional bookstore. Amazon would often sell new releases at a loss, to promote the Kindle.
Apple proposed the so-called "agency model," where book publishers would be able to set retail prices on their own. Prosecutors claimed that switch cost consumers hundreds of millions of dollars in unfairly high prices for e-books.
The five publishers originally implicated in the case settled out of court.
Apple argued that it's negotiations were completely legal, and followed industry standards.
The judge is also considering injunctive relief to prevent Apple from engaging in another price-fixing conspiracy, Reuters reported.

text: Like many bands in this Kickstarter-obsessed age, rock outfit Bailiff funded their latest outing, the genre-melding Remise, through a fan-funded campaign. Of the many tunes that came from the successfully funded EP sessions is the wickedly cool "Helicopter", which stands as one of Remise's most driving moments. With propulsive, infectious guitar riffs at the forefront, the band brings a great deal of energy in the track's concise, four-minute runtime, during which vocalist/guitarist Josh Siegel deals with some heavy lyrical matter.

He Drank, and Saw the Spider
An Eddie LaCrosse Novel
"After he fails to save a stranger from being mauled to death by a bear, a young mercenary is saddled with the baby girl the man died to protect. He leaves her with a kindly shepherd family and goes on with his violent life. Now, sixteen years later, that young mercenary has grown up to become cynical sword jockey Eddie LaCrosse. When his vacation travels bring him back to that same part of the world, he can't resist trying to discover what has become of the mysterious infant. He finds that the child, now a lovely young teenager named Isadora, is at the center of complicated web of intrigue involving two feuding kings, a smitten prince, a powerful sorceress, an inhuman monster, and long-buried secrets too shocking to imagine. And once again she needs his help. They say a spider in your cup will poison you, but only if you see it. Eddie, helped by his smart, resourceful girlfriend Liz, must look through the dregs of the past to find the truth about the present--and risk what might happen if he, too, sees the spider"--

Thanks for subscribing me.
here is a cool game! http://www.onverse.com/i/753800
I just saw this video, and I thought I just had to share it! Love it!
Btw, I recently drew this logo with an app called brushes on my iPad, do you think I should use this for my profile pic? (Because the cat pic is a good too.)
Don't show this to Michael Bay:
1. Sorry for the late reply, since I mainly work on the app.
2. Looks awesome!
3. The movie looks cool, yet I'm less excited for it than I was for the other ones.
4. I have EV3, the original Mindstorms, and assorted Power Functions.
5. Do you think I should post an instructable of my profile pic?
Sure! Whatever you want!
Did you check out my new instructable that I wrote yesterday?
yes indeed!
You probably noticed that this instructable is a repaint of my creation down below, did you?
Ok thanks!
Sure! I would love to see an instructable of this!
(Btw, this video is a real truck commercial.)
This is what I have been working on of late, I took the inspiration from the Transformers movies. She's a beauty isn't she!
So, what is your opinion on the new Transformers "Age Of Extinction" toys? Do you buy transformers?

I'm loading 5 images from disk but I want the 1st image I read to show as soon as possible. Right now I do
UIImage *img = [UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:path];
in a for loop but since imageWithContentsOfFile:path isn't blocking all 5 images wind up getting read from disk before the first one will appear (because they're all using up I/O). I confirmed this by just load one and it appeared on screen faster than if I load all 5.
I'd like to load the 1st image and block until its fully read and shown before loading the next 4 or load the 1st one and be notified when its done before loading the next 4 but I can't figure out a way to do it. None of the 'WithContentsOfFile' methods for data or image block and they don't notify or have delegate methods. Any suggestions?
