> The solution may ultimately be a one-child policy, as demonstrated successfully by China. It turns out that most Chinese couples were allowed 2 children: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-child_policy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-child_policy But there's wide reporting of females being scarce, so some families were involved in female infanticide, which will cause long-term demographic issues. China is currently facing famine, so we'll see how that affects the population. (It turns out that although China is a communist country, they didn't/don't provide welfare for the flood victims, tens of millions of whom are farmers.) A more regional problem is that China is damming the Himalayan head waters, so the downstream countries (India, Pakistan, etc.) will face drought on a large scale. Usually that leads to war.
