The Chinese government’s announcement that its “one-child policy” will remain in place will lead the country into a “demographic disaster,” one expert observer has said. He suggested that a coercive euthanasia program could be added to the country’s coercive abortion and birth control campaigns.
Li Ban, head of China’s National Population and Family Planning Commission, said the country “will stick to the family-planning policy in the coming decades," CNN reports.
In response, Joseph Meany, Director of International Coordination at Human Life International (HLI), said the Chinese government’s population control policy is “stubbornly persisting in leading their country into a demographic disaster.”
"It is simply incomprehensible that the Chinese National Population and Family Planning Commission can seriously mean to extend this destructive policy for an unspecified number of decades into the future," said Meaney in a Tuesday press release.
