In #China, #OneChildPolicy propaganda slogans have been ingrained in the Chinese conciousness for decades. There are some efforts to erase these old slogans, but some feel there's no rush as they are already ingrained in people's minds.

Central planning for society often doesn't pan out the way you'd expect. Zero-Covid past the availability of vaccines is one example. In the coming decades, the effects of One-Child Policy are going to be tremendous.

My grandparents on one side emigrated from China in the 1930s. That was a lucky decision, it seems. For a Chinese person to have no siblings, cousins, nieces/nephews is unimaginable, but that's going to be the reality for many in the 21st century because of the CCP's policies of the 20th century.

#China #OneChildPolicy #PopulationGrowth

An entire generation of Chinese people grew up under the government's brutal one-child policy. The purpose was to limit population growth--which it did to great effect. Now the government is having a conniption fit because their policy worked. Did they not understand the full consequences of limiting growth? (IMO, not a bad thing.)

In much of #China, prevailing local regulations and social mores make having a third #child—or any child at all if you’re unmarried or LGBT—nearly impossible. But for the 83 million people in the #Sichuan province, that’s about to change. https://time.com/6252262/china-sichuan-unmarried-people-children/ #OneChildPolicy

In 2015, the #ChineseGovernment did something it almost never does: It admitted it made a mistake. The ruling #CommunistParty announced that it was ending its historic and coercive #OneChildPolicy, allowing all married couples to have up to two children. https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/23558772/china-population-overpopulation-one-child-policy-demographics-aging-beijing-xi-jinping

Wiki-
In the late 20th century and the early 21st century, the percentage share has been trending down. This was caused by two opposite factors: On one hand, the world population has been growing explosively. On the other hand, in order to address the poverty issue, China implemented a strict birth control policy.
