Question: what is the population of china

theoretical population research must answer new questions as they are posed by the new situation


Question: what is the population of china

since control of population growth was first proposed 20 years ago , the planned economy had all along been its objective foundation .


Question: what is the population of china

it was the believed that as the economy was planned , population growth had also to be planned .


Question: what is the population of china

in this way it had been a matter of course to make control of population growth part of all plans for the national economy and for social development .


Question: what is the population of china

the report of the party given at its 14th national congress then declared : `` purpose of the reform of china 's economic structure is achievement of a system of socialist market economy . ''


Question: what is the population of china

this compelled people to make a new appraisal of the relationship between control of population growth and planned economy .


Question: what is the population of china

to this question , population theory must provide the answer .


Question: what is the population of china

china 's national condition is objective existence ; it is primary .


Question: what is the population of china

economic planning and population control policies as well as all other planning are things within the sphere of consciousness ; they are secondary .


Question: what is the population of china

it is understandable that planned economy demands planning of the labor force ; however , planned economy per se can not by itself put forward the demand for population control .


Question: what is the population of china

only on the foundation of a thorough knowledge of national conditions is it possible for a people to determine its population policy , and , furthermore , possible to set forth the specific population targets for a year -lrb- or five or 10 years -rrb- .


Question: what is the population of china

family planning and control of population growth , being major chinese policies , must both start out from china 's national conditions .


Question: what is the population of china

however , within the national conditions , the components that are most closely linked with the question whether china 's population growth should be controlled are population , natural resources , environment , and the economy , and among these , again population is the most directly involved component .


Question: what is the population of china

china is still in the initial stage of socialism , and people frequently quote comrade deng xiaoping 's `` large country , huge population , weak foundation `` to express summarily this stage of china 's national condition .


Question: what is the population of china

the fact that china has a limited area of arable land , but a huge population , especially peasants , is a fact that is hard to change .


Question: what is the population of china

it is a characteristic circumstance that must be taken into consideration in china 's modernization efforts .


Question: what is the population of china

the objective fact of china 's large population determines the necessity to control china 's population growth and the protracted and arduous nature of the endeavor .


Question: what is the population of china

in a letter written on 9 march 1991 to the leading comrades of the national education committee on the topic of education on national conditions , comrade jiang zemin wrote : `` its huge population is a conspicuous characteristic of china 's national condition . ''


Question: what is the population of china

he thereby scientifically pointed out the basic fact for china 's efforts at family planning and population control .


Question: what is the population of china

this so-called `` population determinism '' is taking the total number of the population , population density , and population growth rate as the only factors that determine the overall features and development of a society .


Question: what is the population of china

this is of course a one-sided and erroneous attitude .


Question: what is the population of china

it is quite a different matter from our now taking the large population as the foundation for family planning .


Question: what is the population of china

it assumes that the population problem is an economic question ; if the economy prospers , there is no population problem .


Question: what is the population of china

some even go further , there are indeed people in china and abroad who believe that china is making the population problem the scapegoat for its inability to achieve an upswing in its economy .


Question: what is the population of china

the essence of the second argument is that it will not recognize the negative effects its huge population for the survival and development of china .


Question: what is the population of china

only by starting out from china 's realities can we fully grasp the situation .


Question: what is the population of china

many compare china with japan , holland , belgium , and especially with the `` four little dragons '' of asia .


Question: what is the population of china

they state that population density in these countries and territories is much higher than in china , they also have few natural resources , and they are still capable of rapid development and have higher living standards than china .


Question: what is the population of china

the purpose of this argument is to show that survival and development is unrelated to the population issue , that as soon as the economy flourishes , all problems are readily resolved .


Question: what is the population of china

in their opinion china 's problems are problems of politics , economy , and its managerial system .


Question: what is the population of china

survival and development in those countries depends on foreign resources and markets , but for china it is a matter of reconstructing the country through self-reliance , reliance primarily on domestic resources and markets , and regarding foreign resources and markets only as supplementary factors .


Question: what is the population of china

because china 's population accounts for 22 percent of the world population , it can hardly rely on import and export trade , or on foreign resources and markets to solve the problem of its own survival and development .


Question: what is the population of china

control of population growth has a bearing on such major issues as the right to independent existence and improvement-of-life quality for china 's huge population .


Question: what is the population of china

speaking of the population 's living conditions , china is a huge country with 9.6 million square kilometers of land , but because of its large population , the land available on a per capita basis is only one-third of the world 's average .


Question: what is the population of china

this makes it unavoidable that a considerable portion of the population must live in areas with rather unfavorable living conditions , also in high altitudes and mountainous regions .


Question: what is the population of china

according to the general census of 1982 , 20.3 percent of china 's population live in areas above 500 meters altitude , and half of these in areas of over 1,000 meters , while throughout the world only one-tenth of the population live in areas of over 400 meters elevation .


Question: what is the population of china

obviously , the large population and the insufficiently developed economy leaves china 's population little space for survival .


Question: what is the population of china

without population control , it will not only be impossible to improve the subsistence conditions for a large part of china 's population , but these conditions will even further deteriorate .


Question: what is the population of china

china has only 7 percent of the world 's arable land available to feed 22 percent of the world 's population .


Question: what is the population of china

china 's territory is about equal to that of the united states , but 20 percent of land in the united states is arable , while it is only 10 percent in china , and china 's population is 4.5 times that of the united states .


Question: what is the population of china

china must under no circumstances depend on foreign supplies for its grain supply , because this would be unreliable and lead to foreign political control .


Question: what is the population of china

for the survival of the chinese nation and for the enhancement of the quality of life , china must highly cherish every inch of arable soil , must resort to intensive cultivation , to economizing in grain , and must promote its excellent tradition of building up the country through thrift and hard work ; another imperative requirement for china is population control .


Question: what is the population of china

control of population growth will also have a direct effect on china 's continued development .


Question: what is the population of china

effective population control has also a bearing on the right scale of available manpower and on the increase or decline of surplus manpower , on the raising of labor productivity , and on the appropriate resolution of contradictions in the social distribution .


Question: what is the population of china

it has also a bearing on the appropriate resolution of such other contradictions as the contradiction between china 's large population and the supply of and demand for commodities , between people 's livelihood and state construction needs , and between the large number of its population and the need to raise population quality .


Question: what is the population of china

in view of china 's huge population , effective population control will therefore be beneficial for the resolution of all the above-mentioned contradictions and for the continued development of the country .


Question: what is the population of china

the possibility of building up china into a prosperous , strong , democratic , and culturally rich country , with accomplished socialist modernization , will depend to a very large extent on whether it will be possible to have the rural areas and the old liberated areas , the areas inhabited by national minorities , the border regions , and poverty regions extract themselves as quickly as possible from the state of poverty , gain prosperity , and achieve modernization of all the people living there .


Question: what is the population of china

if population growth is controlled in the rural areas and in some backward regions , there will be hope to achieve a shift in the population toward nonagricultural pursuits and toward urbanization .


Question: what is the population of china

however , if population is allowed to inflate in these regions , it would be idle to talk about achieving a state of modest prosperity and modernization for china .


Question: what is the population of china

population growth is exercising pressure on the entire environment and on all environmental resources .


Question: what is the population of china

the huge mass of population that there is already in china , combined with the many-times-over increase in per capita consumption of resources , will of necessity reduce the resources that will be available per person , and will even have some resources dry up .


Question: what is the population of china

population control and economic use of resources are by now constituting two indispensable preconditions for china 's continued development .


Question: what is the population of china

the most convincing part in the argument that the large population has a bearing on the right to existence and development of the chinese population , and that population has to be controlled , is the environmental capacity for china 's population -lrb- also called life-sustaining capacity -rrb- .


Question: what is the population of china

the traditional theory does not acknowledge a set environmental capacity for a population : 1 -rrb- it believes that human initiative can expand what volume of population the environment can absorb ; 2 -rrb- it believes the environmental resources comprise many indefinite factors ; 3 -rrb- it believes that because human living conditions differ in a thousand ways , environmental capacity is an indeterminable factor .


Question: what is the population of china

however , judging by the continuity in population development and considering the present state of science , a rough approximation of environmental capacity is possible .


Question: what is the population of china

this allows the assumption that the scope of china 's population will in future reach the upper limits of what resources and environment can accommodate .


Question: what is the population of china

the argument that its huge population justifies china 's control of population growth is thus being supported by the intelligence of natural scientists .


Question: what is the population of china

for the last 10 -odd years , theoretical base for china 's family planning and population control has all along been the marxist theory on the two kinds of production .


Question: what is the population of china

prior to reform and opening up , china 's average annual rate of economic growth was around 6 percent , while average annual population growth was 2 percent , so that the ratio between the two was about 3 to 1 .


Question: what is the population of china

at that time , it was very convincing to say , based on these figures , that the two kinds of production were mutually incongruous , while family planning and control of population growth were yet very smoothly being carried out .


Question: what is the population of china

after reform and opening up , china achieved a new and higher level of economic growth , maintaining annual averages of around 9 percent .


Question: what is the population of china

during the third period of peak births , the population 's birth rate and fertility rate showed a declining tendency ; the average annual rate of population growth was around 1.5 percent .


Question: what is the population of china

the economic growth rate was 12.8 percent , while the rate of population growth declined to 1.28 percent , so that the ratio between the two kinds of production was 10 to 1 .


Question: what is the population of china

however , using this method to assess whether there is congruity between the two kinds of production also has its limitations : 1 -rrb- it can only reflect the speed of growth , but will not reveal the original levels ; 2 -rrb- it can not reflect the present levels attained by the two ; 3 -rrb- it will only reflect the ultimate production figures , but can not reflect the relationship between population and the various key elements of production -lrb- especially the various natural resources -rrb- and environmental resources .


Question: what is the population of china

as a most direct and the simplest indicator , it equitably separates product volume , gross national product , and reflects the conditions of material production -lrb- such as fixed assets , infrastructure , motive power assembly , installed capacity , etc. -rrb- according to the total population figures for the various time periods .


Question: what is the population of china

a larger population causes the per capita index to get smaller ; this , then , is the population 's `` denominator effect . ''


Question: what is the population of china

some believe , that population is insignificant as denominator , if only the volume of the numerator is increased , that this will possibly raise the per capita index .


Question: what is the population of china

developing production -lrb- increasing the denominator -rrb- by every possible means is a key demand in china 's economic construction , as without such effort raising the per capita index would be like water without a source .


Question: what is the population of china

however , disregarding population as effective in the denominator would disregard the eminent effect of the huge population volume on the per capita index .


Question: what is the population of china

many of china 's products have been developed very rapidly , for instance , grain , meat , aquatic products , cotton , cotton cloth , coal , cement , steel , glass , etc. and their production ranks at the top or among the top levels of world production , but computed on a per capita basis production is low in world ranking , a fact that can only be attributed to the excessively large denominator -lrb- population -rrb- .


Question: what is the population of china

the per capita index reflects the relationship between the two kinds of production , and also shows that it is the huge population volume that is the fundamental cause for china 's low per capita index .


Question: what is the population of china

fast economic development combined with slow population growth can bring about a rise in the originally backward per capita index .


Question: what is the population of china

it is not difficult to foresee that the day will come before the middle of the next century when the per capita arable land in china will be below 1 mu .


Question: what is the population of china

the huge population volume will lead to an incongruity between population and resource utilization , and this will be an even greater challenge for china 's survival and development .


Question: what is the population of china

this criterion is also completely applicable when we examine the mutual congruity between china 's human reproduction and material production .


Question: what is the population of china

china 's present gross national product , averaged out according to its population , is , for certain important products and for the infrastructure , for fixed assets , etc. , at the bottom of world rankings , and some do not even attain the levels of the developing countries .


Question: what is the population of china

this clearly indicates that there is still a large disparity to overcome , if china is to attain mutual congruity between the two productions .


Question: what is the population of china

at that time , women in the rural areas gave birth on the average to five children , and children below 15 years of age accounted for over 35 percent of the total population .


Question: what is the population of china

the rate of annual natural population growth has also declined from above 2 percent to 1.5 percent , which is a very favorable level in the third world .


Question: what is the population of china

in some provinces , cities , and counties there are already symptoms of a negative population growth .


Question: what is the population of china

in some regions the population of below 15 years of age accounts for only one-quarter and even only one-fifth of the total population , figures which are among the lowest figures throughout the world .


Question: what is the population of china

in the above-stated three terms used to characterize the situation in china , the statement about china 's very large basic population figure is the only term that is not yet outdated , but the explanations given for the nature of china 's family planning , its purpose and its task , are , we feel , somewhat oversimplified and require new supplementations and a systematic exposition .


Question: what is the population of china

china 's family planning has chinese characteristics , and must not be considered as identical with family planning in other countries , although in translation the same word is used ; this is indeed a loss of `` truthfulness '' that occurs here in the translation .


Question: what is the population of china

in china , eugenic excellence and excellence in child raising are indispensable preconditions for the consolidation of the low birth rate , and this is becoming more and more important following the actual achievement of low levels of births .


Question: what is the population of china

fourth , in china 's family planning , the overall total of all births is the result of macro-consideration , and is therefore , objectively , producing a cushioning effect in the distribution and sexes of the population and on the adjustment of the age structure at different times , between urban and rural regions , and between different districts .


Question: what is the population of china

judging by its objectives , tasks , and methods , family planning with chinese characteristics is an organic component of the construction of socialism with chinese characteristics .


Question: what is the population of china

it is an indispensable link in the efforts to build up china into a prosperous , strong , democratic , and culturally rich country , with accomplished socialist modernization .


Question: what is the population of china

the deeper and more remote objective of china 's family planning is to render service to the modernization of china 's population .


Question: what is the population of china

this demands that it make contributions toward modernization of the type of population reproduction , modernization of the population quality , modernization of the type of population structure , and toward a healthy ageing of the population .


Question: what is the population of china

in recent years , implementation of the central committee and the state council resolution for a strengthening of family planning work and strict control of population growth has resulted in a remarkable reduction of the chinese birth rate .


Question: what is the population of china

second , china has a population of over 300 million women of childbearing age .


Question: what is the population of china

third , population growth develops in a wave pattern .


Question: what is the population of china

fourth , population growth possesses its own inertia .


Question: what is the population of china

even if the birth rate arrives at the `` replacement level , '' population may still continue to grow .


Question: what is the population of china

when the birth rate in the present developing countries reaches `` replacement level , '' it will take another 30 to 50 years until zero population growth is achieved .


Question: what is the population of china

since reform and opening up , some labor and talent markets have appeared in the urban and rural areas of china , and by having a direct meeting of supply and demand , it was possible to channel some manpower and some talents to places where they can be more effective .


Question: what is the population of china

china is in the process of establishing a system of socialist market economy .


Question: what is the population of china

this new situation is also posing new challenges for our population theory : 1 -rrb- population reproduction is the natural foundation for reproduction of the work force population .


Question: what is the population of china

if the work force is subject to market regulation , must population births also be regulated by the market economy ?


Question: what is the population of china
