An actual news article, perhaps? Very few people on the Internet give money on the basis of a random image that may or may not be total BS

OP's point stands. If that's the case, be specific about it. Have a rule saying no drugs. Otherwise rule 1 is just a vague excuse to ban anything and everything
adding over 7 million people is what's important
It is not. When dealing with statistics, percentages are the only thing that matter.
If it was a country like Canada, with a population of less than 50 million people, that would be problematic.
Losing 15% of your population on a yearly basis isn't problematic, it's species-ending catastrophic.
But with a population pool of 1.5 billion, what's the actual concern? What social instability does this cause that a population of 1.5 billion already doesn't?
To put it in perspective, that's the same population loss ratio that japan is currently experiencing. Japan, the country that's teetering on the brink of cultural and societal collapse from an aging population.
There will never be too few people in China
Yeah this sums up the problem fairly well. You're so stuck in your personal opinion of china's population that you can't imagine for a moment the situation changing, regardless of what the data might be saying. You're no better than the people who refused to believe climate change was occurring. Fuck your gut instinct, pay attention to the actual numbers.
The number of people is irrelevant in the context, only the birth vs death rate. For context, there were about 10.5 million deaths in China last year. For social stability, you'd want the population to at most have a slight decline. A 50% higher death rate than birth rate is NOT slight.
I'm Chinese. Fuck that CCP = China bullshit.
The majority of liberals other than politicians want the population to stabilise or decrease slightly, so I'm not sure what you're even talking about.
That's weird. I'm on sync, and I'm only seeing one picture
Solve it by raising the worldwide standard of education and quality of life, because that's proven by far the most reliable method of controlling the birth rate.
I've yet to hear anybody complain or disagree with that approach.
How would you remove it without ending humanity?
Yeah it's like ActivityPub, the average new lemmy user will have no idea what it is, nor will it matter
So essentially install a military dictatorship, because only the military gets any votes?
Genuinely curious, how much savings does that accomplish? Something as small as a door handle doesn't seem like it would create a lot of drag, but it might just be unintuitive
