Besides the fact that Chinas policy is not enforced absolutely (especially in rural areas) it hasn't had time to reveal it's effectiveness yet - not until the post war population bulge and their offspring pass away. The one child policy becomes effective when the single children and their single offspring become the breeding population and their ancestors begin dying out, a process currently beginning but not yet the norm for China. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
