i would rather be correct than politically correct
The One child policy seems pretty unreasonable, but 2 child policy makes sense to me. If your population is growing out of control, you do want to stabilize it for the good of all the people. Better limited reproduction rather than rampant starvation. As long as reproduction is limited to everyone, and exceptions are only made in cases like death, incapability, etc.
Where's a country that females outnumber males by a large margin?
I should move there, I need all the help I can get lol…. I'm fat
there's just far too many human in this world. With limited resources, there are be many living if poverty. Don't people prefer to have less but those alive are living well then to mass produce as they wish and have those children suffers. But for countries that have a gender preferences like china. 2 child policy is suitable.
Racists! WatchMojo forces Honorable Mentions down our throats for other videos, but when it's about the orientals…
Just saying… Only Han (the biggest one) ethnic group were limited by One-Child policy, others were not, like Tibetans, Uighur, Manchu, they can have as many kids as they want.
So for those people who are saying "Chinese government want to reduce the population growth so they can control them better", you are seriously ignorant.
Isn't China a communist country? How can people have financial problems?
You guys could make some hearthstone top 10.. can not think of any but.. just putting it out here!
7:32 what's that thing around the baby's neck? I've never seen that before
POPULATION EXPLOSION IN CHINA a new book by Wee Fukem Yung.
I'm a Chinese, I vote for this policy. You can not make a policy just based on human rights, different countries have different conditions, government's duty is make the policy which best for the whole country.
Yikes. The idea of not legally existing is terrifying.
Future governments take note: 1 child policies did not work well. Don't try it again.
It'd probably help the bachelor problem if the Chinese were willing to marry outside of their race, but from what I've seen with the exchange students I've known, most are expected to find Chinese boyfriends/girlfriends. In my psychology class, only one of the (I don't remember how many, 6?) Chinese exchange students had been encouraged to find a non-Chinese significant other by their parents (we were learning about parenting styles, and the prof took the opportunity to compare and contrast parenting in two very different cultures).
Another fact, the one child policy only strictly enforced upon the Han Chinese which make up for 90% of the China population. The China authority treats it's majority like second class citizen.

OMG I watched this in geography today!
Can people just leave women and girls alone. I swear man, women get treated like shit
at least hong kong doesn't have this rule
Im chinese i have a big sister and a little brother
One of those ethnic minorities here. My classmates and friends are almost all only child of the family, but the Hans of rural area didn't give a crap about this policy and continued to have more than two children anyway. So as an ethnic Mongolia in China, I won't say this policy helps our population grow. I am using vpn to watch YouTube by the way.
The 4 guys @6:45 don't even look like chinese, or least not han chinese..
Look like cambo or mongol or someshit.. lol
Maybe if India tried something like this it wouldn't be such a shit hole.
iam doing this in geography
The only areas in China with no 1 Child law before 2015, is Hong Kong and Macau
poorer places tend to have higher birthrates. so if china were to be more overpopulated, there would be a famine, and then they would be poorer and have more kids, and then enter this perpetual state of being poor and hungry, and making the situation worse every generation…
Half of this is bullshit, get your facts right before spreading to viewers
it's really hard to solve the problem of famine—>hunger—>families have more kids.
That's because crop shortage—>work harder to feed the family—>more sons to help with labor—>parents try to have more kids-
—>result: more food shortages.The reason for the one-child policy:
one child-
–> less mouths to feed—> with modern medical advances, we don't have to worry about children dying off from epidemics like in 1700s—> less school and other expenses, families can have better lives-–> mom can work, too-–>improve lives& more land because many Chinese landscapes are so harsh, they're inhabitable.Reason that failed:
China favored boys because gender inequality, which existed everywhere in the world-
–> aborted girls-–> many males can't get married-–> no grandchildren.Oh hey, so one-child policy is bad af. But can you please explain why it somehow help the world's population slow down and actually decreases the population in poverty. In watchMojo's video, one-child policy sounds less worth than a piece of shit even it is such a big sacrifice the Chinese made for the whole world!!!!!!!!!! so FUCK OFF watchmojo
if you are not agree with china one children policy just look at India where allow FREEDOM fuck off and pregnant . shipping million million refugee world wide year and year. do you want million million poor Chinese sleep on the street inside your country ? i think most Europeans countries people deeply understand what I said because they already felt the reality of this station of Syrian refugee
fack one-child,because i was the policy child.It.s very bed!
Anyone would think it's a bloody necessity to breed – there are other things in life
Can somebody give me a brief definition of when did this started?
good law. The world is going to be terribly overpopulated in the next 100 years. Glad I won't live to see it.
ERMAGERD.. My class needs to write an essay bout this now…Crys
When you want to eat some good tasting pussy go to China as Chinese women have not only good tasting pussy, they hasve some Super tight pussy as well
who those are agree with this policy they should not marriage
the single chinese men could marry the surplus female population of russia
i dont think that having a baby is that important
fucking third world
If you believe in God and aren't some brain washed idiot..you should know how wrong and satanic this is.
America deserves a one child policy, better yet a no child policy.
if china and india stop making kids for 30years the half is fkn empty
Who else is using this as revision for the GCSE tomorrow?
