02/29/2008: "China may stop one-child policy, expand to cover all earth"

China, worried about an ageing population, is studying scrapping its controversial one-child policy but will not do away with family-planning policies altogether, a senior official said on Thursday.

With the world's biggest population straining scarce land, water and energy resources, China has enforced rules to restrict family size since the 1970s. Rules vary but usually limit families to one child, or two in the countryside.

[ Everyone who industrializes faces the same problem: native population declines, and gets replaced by interchangeable cog morons imported to work the machines. Hmm... maybe that Unabomber guy had a point! ]
