- isaacn 13y agoThanks for finding that link to the rebuttal. The original article certainly was sensationalizing every little point.

- spitx 13y agoThe critique is really porous and rife with contradictions. I won't even bother paring them down. One example: The other thing that Miller totally glosses over (or is just ignorant of) is that the one-child policy is a) very badly implemented in many places and b) has had all sorts of terrible side-effects (other than the top-heavy population issue). The first point is that the one-child policy is not evenly implemented, and is very vulnerable to corruption, loop-holes, mismanagement etc. etc. "Very badly implemented" or implemented to allow for exceptions to the elites and the affluent, who can pay a nominal fee, for their multiple child transgressions.
