As we all know, China is the most populous country in the world. The number of population is 1.4 billion which is almost one quarter of the whole world's population. Hence, the Chinese Government has this responsibility to solve the population problem in China, especially in the countryside. Otherwise, the fast increment of China's population will also affect the whole world.
First of all, a effective policy for population is very important. 25 years ago, the one child policy came out in China. Although we all think that this policy is too cruel, it really helps the government to control the population. After 25 years, we all can see the good effects of this policy. Therefore, most of the citizens agree with it and think this policy should be carried on.
Moreover, in order to reduce the population, the government also needs to make their citizen more educated. In the old days, there was a very funny phenomenon which is the poor family always got more children than the rich family and the uneducated couple always had more children than the educated couple.
Last but not least, the propaganda of the government about the population problem is also very important. People will get influenced by government’s propaganda. Hence, the population problem can get control in some sense.
In conclusion, the government plays a very significant role in controlling the population. If the government could take some effective actions and did a good job, the population problem can be solved easily.

I wonder which individual came out with the One child policy...I mean just by thinking of it, I can imagine that it is impossible to carry out... And yet people still manage to do it...
As I know, the one child policy actually create another problem, that is unbalance between male and female. As we all know, Chinese still prefer to have a baby boy rather than a girl. This will eventually cause more and more guy couldn't form a family due to "limited store"......
In my opinion,one child policy maybe slow down the increment of China's population.For a long run,the population issue still exist.Thus,i think the well or proper development of the country must be considered instead to solve the population issue.
Thank you, Steve, for this thoughtful discussion! It's interesting that you say most Chinese citizens now support the population policy!
p.s. Could you put your blog language into English for this English class?
As my China friends told me,if a family accidentally have their second child,they will receive the fine from the government and is stated in the One Child Policy. I was quite suprised when I first heard this policy.It seem the China government do not respect the human's right.
