Source : Overpopulation in China
China and overpopulation are two words that
have become synonymous over the years. China's population started to increase dramatically after World War
II. In 1949, Mao encouraged Chinese families to have as many children as
possible. This is because the government thought the population
increase would bring money to the country and help China produce more
food, build a better army, develop water control, and establish
communication systems (Chinese Population). The People's
Republic of China has had this problem for many years and still the
government hasn't come up with an effective solution. The stats basically show that China
population is not proportionally distributed, some areas are have a high
population density and some areas have a low population density. There is booming population in metropolitan cities (The
Overpopulation Situation). In other chase China also doesn't have a balanced male and female proportion which could
result in future problems. The situation in China right now is not very
good. People are vying for more food, fresh water, and electricity. There is a great lack
of these assets (Overpopulation).
According China's policy, a
couple can only have one child in their entire life, but Chinese people prefer having a boy over a girl, the one-child policy
forces them to dump the newly born girls on the streets or kill them, so
they can have a boy, who would continue the family tradition. Millions
of baby-girls have been killed in Beijing since 1980 (The One-Child
Policy). It is such a harsh piece of reality that no one who cares about
humanity would just stand and watch. Yet no action is taken to stop the
Chinese government from forcing these policies upon the public (China
Studies).
Although there are some benefits from overpopulation, like that China's population attracts many other
multi-national companies to set up their businesses in the most populous
country. In my opinion, the government have to develop the other cities to prevent the "not proportional population in each city" or in other hand he/she could do an immigration to flatten population of the following cities. The government have to take action for this overpopulation chase because
it effected the country's economy. To support such a big population
the country needs more money to feed the people.
For the girl babies chase I think the government should make some other laws
to protect the newborn girl babies from getting killed by their own
parents, because, if this thing keeps on happening in the future there would be
imbalance of the male and female proportions.
I hope the Chinese
government starts taking immediate action and better solutions will be able to come out to make a better China.
The article is interesting. But, in my opinion, you shouldn't make a long summary, just take some points. Overall, great job!
