Couldn't even be bothered to not have "both sides" below the fold, they're really expecting me to pay to read the rest of the article.

The "critical" part of critical support: the one-child policy was shitty and led to a bunch of bad knock-on effects, I'm happy they got rid of it after 2015; there is for sure a lot more work to be done on this front

The "support" part of critical support: Lmao, you can just get an abortion in china unlike the US, it was blanket legalized in 1988 (with aditional stipulations depending on the province). You can't equivocate a country where people are getting progressively more rights with another country where people are losing progressively more rights.

edit: as one of our wonderful posters points out, limited legal abortion was available since 1953

    I just realized that the "everybody has tried to increase birth rates and failed" is probably just a side-effect of everybody being capitalist
