That it isn't human nature that is the problem with population growth, otherwise we wouldn't have large parts of the free world with almost none and even slightly negative growth. The problem is cultural/historical and the problem of chinas one child policy was that it tried to combat the effect while the people still saw having a male heir as important.

I cannot seem to understand your statements.

Fact: we don't have an issue with positive population growth in most western nations. Fact 2: the populations of these western nations are human. Q.E.D.: explosive population growth is not human nature.

It is a cultural, educational, social security and rights issue. The Chinese failed because they tried to fight the result instead of the cause(s).
