China - a country of the Extreme-Orient

When one talks about China, he arouses either the passion, either the hatred, either anxiety, but rarely the indifference. As the author of this text is from this country, he tries well to surpass the passional stage in order to describe the historic "middle empire" as objectively as possible.

The country, covering over a surface of 9 600 000 km², nourishes one fifth of the world population. Its population exceeds already 1 300 000 000 on the year 2001. According to the estimation of the occidental independent demographers, the number reaches already 1 500 000 000 on 2001. In the official version, the Chinese government tries to limit it below 1 400 000 000 people by the year 2020 BC.

China applies a rigorous birth control. The politics of "Unique Child", this is to say, one child for on couple, causes great sufferings in the population, especially in the remote countryside, where the "Son Heir" reigns in force since thousands of years. In certain places, the girls have even no chance to be born, since the sorcerer medicine illegally aborts them after a premature detection - the science is enemy of the human in this case. In certain regions, the preference to boy causes a great crisis in the proportion boys / girls: 3/1! This is to say, a girl for 3 boys.

Is this politics good and realist of the rigorous birth control and that of "Unique Child"? let's judge ourselves and the time will give us a conclusion.
