One-child policy

Most developed countries have fewer new-born than the developing countries with China as an exception.

It is a double-edged sword. Now China has fewer folks to support the elderly. When China is richer (no one starves to death now as they did during 1950-1970), China can afford to have a larger population and lessen the restrictions. However, the general concept of the one-child policy should be maintained. With the limited resources per capita, China cannot support a large population.
