So your view is "Let them starve, and decrease the surplus population?"

If you don't know whom I am trying to quote, just googling "surplus population" will probably work.

For me, it represents quite an intellectual challenge to discover anything good about George W. Bush, but his rather quick (if somewhat token) response to making more food available to needy countries was welcome.

Obviously, the human presence on the planet ought to be limited or even diminished. It is no great source of suffering to a married couple to raise one child well rather than six children badly. I don't know how well the Chinese are managing this, but at least they are trying. Many years ago I used to suggest something like the land bank program: pay women to lie fallow. But then people called me a racist so I stopped making that suggestion.
