Liping Bu and Elizabeth Fee point out that the
mutual action between economy and
population influences both of them. Begin with a
attractive poster. The authors describe
the new situation of Chinese mother and child
as
a
pair
of
free
birds.
Under
the
family
planning
policy,
the
general
fertility
rate
declined.
The
less
population
brings
lots
of
advantages,
such
as
health,
prosperity,
more
welfare
and
socioeconomic
development.
The
population
influences
the
economy and also be affected by it. In
the words of Bu and Fee (2012), because of
market
economy,
many
young
famers
migrate
to
cities
to
work.
It
is
hard
to
have
more
children
in
such
a
competitive
environment,
so
that
rural
couples
voluntarily
choose
to
have
fewer
children.
In
conclusion,
the
authors
agree
deeply
that
China
should insist on implementing family
planning policy and market economy.

Chen argues that as the Family Planning Policy has
been carried
out in China, there are
some problems emerging and we need to pay much
attention to
these. Just like Chen
(2007) writes, for four reasons causing child
spoiled, treasuring,
paying
high
expectations,
excessive
concerns
and
the
emotional
needs.
(P.125)
the
children who come from
one-child families would get more attached and
dependent
than
the
children
who
have
siblings.
Moreover,
in
some
serious
situations,
less
of
them
can
be
violent
or
immature
even
getting
a
hypochondriac
condition.
By
investigating the parent-
child relationships, the author strongly states
his point of view
that we should attach
importance to the mental health of parents and
children in the
process of child
development.

Illegal
children

In
“
Illegal
children will
be
confiscated,
”
the
author criticizes that the one-child
policy
is
going
against
human-right
and
caused
a
demographic
problem.
There
is
a
fact
that
those
children
who
are
called
illegal
will
be
packed
off
to
orphanages.
Although
Chinese
fertility
was
down,
it
also
leads
some
problems.
Now
China
becomes

the

It
is
disturbing to

distortions
how
can
the
young

do
under this
generation of one-child policy.

the
author
writes
that
China
’
s
one-child
policy
is
helpful
for
China
’
s
education,
because
the
number
of
school-age
children
becomes
lesser and lesser
since this policy has been implemented. For
macroscopic view, the
less
number
of
students
could
be
helpful
to
ease
the
stress
of
educational
system
(more
students
and
less
school),
preventing
from
too
many
students
taking
class
in
one
room
causing
low
efficiency
and
even
no
rooms
for
more
children.
For
microcosmic view, fewer children can
alleviate burdens on parents who
can
’
t afford
the
spending
of
tuition,
and
save
money
for
taking
higher
education.
Especially
in
rural
areas,
these
are
far
more
obvious.
In
conclusion,
the
China
’
s
family
planning
policy is helpful for
China
’
s education to
children and parents as well.

Valerie
M.
Hudson and Andrea den Boer intensively
criticize the China
’
s family
planning policy
by analyzing the cost
of it. In the words of authors, the one-child
policy indeed helped
to control the
China
’
s population to an
acceptable level, but, by the time, it also brings
the
social
instability
and
security
risks,
such
as
masculinized
sex
ratios
(gender
imbalance) and aging society. The
authors point out several serious problems which
are caused by the aging and
masculinization to prove that the one-child policy
needs
change. They also provide the
supposition that if the Chinese were to move
towards a
two-child policy, the
condition would be better. In sum, the authors are
in their effort
to persuade the
audiences to believe this policy has posed a
threat to China.
