Why on earth would the Chinese government want to increase their population? Isn't their second largest issue economically, outside of communism of course, the fact that their population is too large to know what to do with?
Nope. China has plenty of unsettled land, and population naturally stabilizes after a certain point, without government intervention. What the Chinese government did was Malthusian nonsense, and cultural suicide. They no longer have a working population large enough to care for their elder population. That's part of the reason they released COVID-19, as a cover to burn their elderly alive in bodybags. But they have a bigger problem coming up. Their male/female ratio is WAY off balance, as every family wanted their one child to be a boy. It's something like 5:1. China is on the verge of a complete collapse, and when it happens, it won't be pretty. Think WWIII.
I would assume that US govt has already worked through these scenarios and has our response ready w regard to their nukes, etc. I can see a conventional skirmish for certain things but not WWIII. Source: None. Just a wag.
If there's one thing the last few years have taught me, it's that were should NEVER just trust the government.
My father worked on a NIKE site during Vietnam. The purpose of those sites was to stop a nuclear attack if they should try to drop the bomb on U.S. soil. By shooting the plane down with a nuclear weapon. Over U.S.soil.
That was the official plan. I doubt it's gotten better.
They were a bit too successful with their one-child policy and it's creating a demographic problem, with not enough young people to keep the economy going and support the elderly and the huge military force. The one-child policy was replaced with a two-child policy in December 2015. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-12-27/chinas-one-child-policy-officially-scrapped/7055834
