Dont get me wrong, I am no supporter of any of the above. just saying that according to this report in rural areas the community agree that one child per couple is all the resources can sustain, as opposed to other countrties where large families occur in areas that can't provide the basics.
My questions would be; Who provides this consensus and what are the consequences of disagreement? Chinese peasants are not exactly encouraged to dispute government policy. Judging the popularity of this program by what people are willing to say is like judging the popularity of the leaders of Communist countries by the results of their elections.
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
