Hi CB, <<I wonder what will be the long term effect of the Chinese "one child" policy?>> The policy was not followed in the countryside where the majority of the folks lives, to this day. The policy is being abandoned in small cities now. The policy was in effect for one generation of city folks, accounting for 200 million, slightly more than the whole of Japan. Just another experiment that did not work. Mathmatically speaking, "just is" a tap on the break, causing a traffic jam somewhere down the road, some years later. What is of concern, is the social cost of retirement, and this is a global concern. Here, I will have to go with DJ, and say I got to take care of my family first. The problem is too big, and no one is taking care of it, policy wise. Japan tried, as usual, to export their way out, building self-contained communities in Australia and Philippines during the late 80s. However, no takers from Japan. Chugs, Jay
