"They also essentially have a eugenic birth policy (with payments that can be made for more children), unlike American which is (let's face it) pretty much dysgenic with the poorest having the most kids and that burden becoming larger and larger on the greater populace."
Um. I don't think any of this is correct, which casts doubt on the factual validity of the rest of the post. Firstly, China's "one child policy" was never as widely spread as the government would like to think or how it appears in international media. In many places, it was "one child, except if you gave bith a girl, try again for free, afterwards there's an affordable raising in taxes, only in sectors that enforce it and you can't grease a palm to look the other way". Furthermore, even if one child policy was effective, it doesn't exist anymore- it stopped being in effect years ago.
As for America and its relationship to the poor and children, this isn't really the case. America's population is broadly shrinking, and its largest burden is actually its elderly. The only population growth in America is from immigration.
