high time to invade cuba, page-37

to grant as far as the population of china is concerned, it may well be that it is still growing

there is a counter on the left hand side

according to that chart, the population will grow to 1.6bn by 2050

maybe the population still needs to peak, before it starts heading down

to quote from the net

"Every year China grows by about 14 million people, approximately the entire population of Shanghai. When he first founded the People's Republic in 1949, Mao Zedong was all for Stalin's "the more, the merrier" approach to baby-making. Mothers who gave birth to five or more children were honored as "Revolutionary Mothers" and awarded government subsidies. Mao loved mass mobilization, even if it extended to the bedroom, and with some help from health care and food production, the population ballooned from 550 million in 1950 to an out-of-control 900 million near the end of the 70s.

In 1978, China instituted its One-child Policy, implementing new regulations and propaganda campaigns that urged parents to use family planning.""

one would tend to think that most of the people born in the 28 years after 1950, would already have their children, and that the population would have started to decline, as a result of the one child policy, but it seems that it is still growing - what is wrong with my logic??
