Yes, they have every right to modernize their society, but they should do it the right way. That is growth their economy responsibly. I don't think anyone is blaming china for modernize their society, but they should do it the right way. They should build infrustructures that are needed and clean their environment.
It is still a long way to go for their gdp to climb to 10,000.It seems poor people just tend to have a lot more kids than rich or educated ones. This can not only be observed, but proven by looking at the GDP per capita. Vietnam, China and India are the three countries with the highest population(or in the case of Vietnam, population density), all with a GDP under 10000.
Contrary to many people here, I agree that one child policy is a good thing.One thing I will credit China is their policy of one child per family(though their population isn't projected to go down until 2030). Wish the Viet government would do the same. Saving anything starts with reducing the population.
Nah, no doubt that the US is consuming more than average but they deserve it. They work for it. Gotta go now, will write more.The biggest virus of all, however, is still the US, who consumes 75% of the world's resources. It seems that a comfortable lifestyle comes at a great cost to the environment. It bring ups some issues with capitalism, which is pretty long to write here, but let's just say, no system will work if people only look to consume and not contribute.
