Overpopulation is a myth ...

... and China is starting to realise it.

After thankfully shutting down the Copenhagen Conference last year, the Chinese are now beginning to phase out the draconian One Child Policy.

"Chinese experts have told the Herald five provinces are to relax the policy next year and the trial may spread nationwide by 2013 or 2014..."

Overpopulation is, by definition, a myth. There can never be too many human beings in existence, not only because the creation of more human life is a beautiful thing, but because the very existence and sustinence of human beings, means, self-evidently, that there is no unsustainable surplus.

Australia, in fact, is one of the least densely populated areas in the world, and rural and regional businesses are starved of labour.

With future technological advances and colonisation of other planets, there is no limit to the number of human beings that can come into existence

Ironically, at a time when the green disease is infecting more and more westerners, Communist China is looking like a beacon of freedom.
