Q: Chinas one child policy

With the amount of people born everyday in the world will Chinas one child policy ever be viewed as good forward thinking in the west?

I was reading a report on demographics the other day. It indicated that China will have an acute labor shortage within the next few decades as the population grows older. This also means a bigger stress on those kids who have to take care of their grandparents. Less labor usually means higher wages to attract people. This increase in wages will affect trade because products in other Asian countries will become more competitive than products from China. Beijing may not be able to sustain it's economic growth as a result of the one child policy. They have finally learned that rich people usually will not have more than one child. The very people who can afford to have more than one child don't want more children.

All it has done is create millions of self-centered, narscissistic little brats that think the world owes them a favour.....or for the poor ones, forced them to be the only means of support for their parents, creating a giant burden.
The west already has a lower birth rate than China (not counting Latino Catholics).

Ha! Not until the Pope approves birth control. There's too many catholics running around that would never allow a one child policy.

if the catholic church (or any church) sees a profit to be made from it, they will change their minds quickly

Here's a recent news story and a map about this from NPR.

http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2011/11/03/141943008/when-governments-pay-people-to-have-babies

And here's a map, country by country, explaining birth rate, population, whether the country is encouraging or discouraging babies and comparing it to GDP.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
