The Chinese Communist Party recently announced they will increase the number of children families are allowed to have from two to three. This comes after historically low birth rates last year, and growing concerns that China will not have a population to keep up with the growth. But will it work? It poses the fundamental question: Does the family support government or does government support the family? This week, we talk about China’s vested interest in controlling personal family decisions, how the US should respond, and why a three-child policy will not help the Chinese People.

Thanks for information on this situation. I think this goes back to “It’s not nice to fool with Mother Nature.” It also reminds me of when Mao decided that they should kill all the birds because they were eating the seeds. A lot of birds were killed and surprise! the insects were out of control. Communism is very bad for the environment and the earth.
