Is China Overpowering the World?

Is it true that China is one of the most powerful country in the world? Is it true that the Chinese population  reached about 1,368,510,000 in March 2015?  And that it takes up 18.9% of Earth's population? Yes, this is all true, but...is this bad news? In the contrary, for lot's of us, this is something we would like to hear, but of course, there are some pros, and cons...

We accuse China of :

• being an overpopulated country       
• being polluters 
• being snobs  
• being too smart. 

The truth is: 

• they live a hard life, and like any other human being, they want to be free
• lot's of countries want to sell their products to China
• lot's of teenagers and adults want to learn Chinese

And like any other country, China has it's beautiful landscapes, it's temples, it's mysteries... 

EXPLORING CHINA THE NON POLITICAL WAY: 

Fun Facts that you might want to know about China: 

• Fourth biggest country in the world: 9 598 095 km squared!

• The most expensive dog in the world is Chinese (Tibetan mastiff.) It was sold for 1.4 million euros:

• The Forbidden City of Beijing was home to 24 emperors and it has 9, 000 rooms.

• The Great Wall of China. It has a length of 20, 000 km, and it was built between the 3rd century and the 7th before Jesus Christ. 

CHINA: NOW AWAKE...

China is becoming the #1 world power in economics, and this is also good news, not only for the Chinese, but also for other countries. When Chinese become tourists, it means money. They are the #1 consumers in economy as well, and other countries dream of drawing the Chinese towards them.

MADE IN CHINA:

When you go to the store and buy something (other then food or clothes,) what is the probability that this object was made in China? I will say more than 50%. What will happen if China stopped making products? ...Well... we won't do to good. It is important that we stop accusing them of cheating, and copying on other country's.

POPULATION GROWTH:

We all know that China's enormous population is affecting their lives. Well, in 1979 when the Chinese population was growing way to fast, the government established the one child per family rule. Of course, this did stabilize the growing number, and they were able to keep the population count at a minimal level. But this rule does pose some problems...

1. There are too many old people, and less young ones. So this means that sooner or later, there will be less workers that are participating in the development of the country. A study shows that in 2050, 1/4 (which means 330 million people,)  of the population will be over the age of 65.
2. There is a big difference between the amount of boys to the amount of girls. We count about 120 boy births for every 100 girl births. Because of the one child rule, when a pregnant woman learns that she will give birth to a girl, she prefers to abort than to give birth. This is because they think that a boy is more useful than a girl.
3. When parents have only one child, (like in China,) they spoil this child too much, and this may pose lot's of problems later on.
4. 20 years ago, the Chinese authorities set another rule. A couple is allowed to have a 2nd child if:

• The first one was a girl
• Or if both the parents were a unique child as well.

In 2013, this rule improved:

• If one of the parents was a only child, than they are allowed to have a second child.

Therefore, there is only 1 Chinese family for every 3 Chinese families that have 2 children.
