To be fair, they do have a point. Why bring a child into an environment where raising them is not only expensive, but also burdensome to the parents? Plus, China's economy isn't exactly the best for many of its average citizens at the moment.

A lot of them don't have a choice. Millions of Chinese men are involuntary celebite (not incels) because there isn't enough women due to decades of stupid family planning policies turning the country into a giant sausage fest.

I've never wanted kids. I don't know what the fuck about life would make someone want to have kids.

That's just me.

Given that children are the only retirement plan outside of just getting ridiculously rich, it's a pretty good bet most of these people aren't willingly avoiding marriage and having kids.

On the other hand, not having kids is easily the best get rich quick scheme.
There's a difference between canon and not-stupid.

if we had like.. 500,000,000 people then I would consider it but humanity has gone hog wild.

Aren't there still significantly more Chinese men than woman in China too?
Less is more. Everything you want, isn't everything you need.

Probably one of the most idiotic policies ever conceived by a government.

It's not actually that bad. There's 117 boys for every 100 girls. If you had a party of 217 people and 100 of them were girls nobody would be calling that a sausage fest.

The problems with this imbalance are mostly long term birth rate stuff.
It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha."

Its part of people trafficking organisations. The charity I work with is always trying to prevent it, as are other organisations, but the scale of the problem makes it impossible to always be successful.

Extrapolated, that ratio gives us 30 million more males than females in China.
