China's Population Control

As a country you care about, China has recently become one of the most important countries in the world. Domestic development far exceeds the expectations of people all over the world. Nevertheless, China is facing the biggest problems such as overpopulation of the world. The importance of overpopulation is overpopulation, overcrowding, exhaustion of natural resources, or deterioration of the local environment. Therefore, one child's policy was introduced to manage the People's Republic of China or the more common Chinese population.

China's population management policy The Chinese government adopts several methods to suppress population growth. In 1979, China launched "Policy for One Child per Family" (Juali Li 563). The policy states that citizens must obtain a birth certificate before a child is born. If the citizens agree that there is only one child, they will benefit from it. Citizens with one or more children are taxed up to 50% of their income or are punished for unemployment or other benefits (Hilali 10). In addition, unintentional pregnancy or pregnancy without proper permission should be discontinued (Hilali 9). In 1980, a birth quota system was established to monitor population growth (Jiali Li 563). Under this system, the government set targets for each region. Local authorities are primarily responsible for ensuring that total population growth does not exceed the target.

The one-child policy enacted in 1979 was indispensable for suppressing uncontrollable population growth at that time, but it already accounts for the majority of the elderly population of China. In 2016, over 185 million Chinese are over 60 years old, accounting for 15% of the population. This proportion is expected to rise in 2030, when China becomes the world's oldest society, reaching a peak. In recent years, China has increased the social security and pension expenditure of the elderly, enhancing the necessity of experienced medical facilities and age-related diseases such as diabetes, respiratory diseases, hypertension, and cancer.

In China, the government uses data to manage the population of the country. By installing a firewall in China and replacing the blocked global technology services with a managed local version, the government can create a digital archive of actions, affiliations, statements, actions and misconduct of each individual. Here, people score "on social credit" system and receive compensation and punishment accordingly. A recent report by Cambridge Analytica and Facebook shows that Western companies understand our situation without our knowledge. Cambridge analytica's voice and extensive coverage of Carol Cadwaldor, and the Facebook Senate hearing show how the company manipulating public opinion works and clearly are not our legislators
