It's widely acknowledged that China faces difficult times ahead on account of the graying of it's population resultant from the One Child Policy. What is often forgotten however is that China didn't just do that for shits and giggles:)rolleyes:), they did it because their population was already suffocatingly large and the potential consequences of further growth were disastrous.

Was that fear justified, in retrospect? Would it have been wiser for China to adopt a "two-child policy"? Or should they have done nothing at all and let the consequences of further population growth unfold?
