As long appeasement/pampering poor people politics continues, the Indian population will never decrease. It will be on the raise only. Let the God give good sense to all.

只要印度姑息和纵容穷人的政治继续下去，印度人口永远不会减少。只会增加。

印度的人口肯定会下降的。等人口开始减少时，印度也会开始衰落的

Excellent news for mother Earth ! One child policy of China was well thought of to avoid demographic explosion and starin on natural resouces unlike in India !

与印度不同，中国的独生子女政策被认为是为了避免人口爆炸和自然资源匮乏！

The strain on natural resources never went away in China and now same China is encouraging people to beget more children..
But nothing is hel.
One child policy only created liability of greying population to be managed by less younger population which is continuously shrinking and giving nightmares to China.

在中国，自然资源的压力从未消失，现在中国也鼓励人们多生孩子。

但没有任何效果

独生子女政策只会造成人口老龄化，人口正在不断减少，给中国带来噩梦。

Not directly but indirectly. Because of them we don't have a population control bill yet.

不是直接而是间接。我们还没有出台人口控制法案

The corrupt in India know that, 1) they will get bail easily, 2) the case will run forever and no verdict will be delivered in their lifetime... so out on bail they enjoy their ill-gotten wealth...

印度的腐 败分子知道，1）他们很容易获得保释，2）案件会永远拖下去，一辈子不会判决。所以保释后，他们享受着不义之财。

No BS
Correct.. very few like you who know what China really is aplreciate their hard work and improving lives of their citizens. Rest of the Indians have been brainwashed by their fake and negative news media to turn hatemongers

对的！很少有人像你们一样了解中国真正的情况，他们对自己的辛勤工作和改善公民的生活表示赞赏。其他印度人已经被他们的假新闻和负面新闻媒体洗脑，变成仇恨者

China has achieved its population policy goal it set many decades ago. But the new challenge will be how to get its population out of one-child culture to stop the decline forever. It has been a challenge for countries like Japan and Korea. Good luck!

中国已经实现了几十年前制定的人口政策目标。但是，新的挑战是如何让中国人口摆脱独生子女文化，从而阻止人口继续下降。对日本和韩国等国家来说，这是一个挑战。祝你们好运

it will be interesting to watch how things unfold in china as time progresses, high death rates, uncertain economy, failure in its global expansion plans like BRI, loan defaults and losses in countries like Pakistan Sri lanka.

随着时间的推移，观察中国的情况会很有趣，高死亡率，不确定的经济，一带一路等全球扩张计划的失败，巴基斯坦和斯里兰卡等国家的贷款违约
