Self inflicted moderate demographics problems to delay a massive one. Without family planning, PRC would be at 1.7B people. Currently at 1.4B more than 600M are, to be blunt, excess people - underedcuated cohorts that subsists in informal economy that can't be integrated into modern consumption economy. PRC would be tackling a much grimmer demographic bomb if it were not for restricting births.
