one child policy(xingjian)
One child policy is the population control policy of china, like its name suggest, it only allows the parent to have one baby, however, families can have a second child if the first child is a girl or is disabled, and ethnic minorities are exempt. This policy was introduced in 1979, but in In November 2013, the Chinese government announced that it would further relax the policy by allowing families to have two children if one of the parents is an only child.
It is indeed a good way to reduce the weight on the parents if they have more children. this will also make their life much more easier. However, i dont think that it is very affective to control China's population. When the policy is introduced in 1979, the population is 0.65billion, but China's population is still increasing even after the policy is introduce and reach 1.34billion in 2007. it is really ironical, since the purpose is to control the population but the result shows that the population had increased rapidly instead. Also, i believe that there are much more better method to cotrol the population of China than this.
i think that this policy is not as perfect as it seem. it will benefit the parents and control the population in china, but as the parents age, the children will need to take care of two adult without any sibling to help out, and the grandchildren gonna take care of six people, both paternal and maternal, all by himself! i am the only child until i was 13, so i know exactly how the only child's feeling, the feel of loneliness when you don't have a playmate to play with after fininshing your homework, the feel of jealousy when you see other people who had their siblings to accompany him when you don't. thus, i don't like the one child policy because i believe that there are other ways to control it, with a better result.
