[Epoch Times, June 3, 2021](Epoch Times reporter Jiang Yuchan reported from Taipei, Taiwan) Recently, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held a meeting to announce the implementation of the “three-child” policy, allowing a couple to have up to three children. Experts believe that this policy should prove that the “one-child” policy of the past three decades is a mistake, and it also highlights that China has three major dilemmas, which are as difficult to shake as the three mountains.
The “one-child policy” is generally called “family planning” in China, and it is mandatory that each household can only have one child. Due to traditional concepts such as patriarchal patriarchal and incense inheritance, each family is restricted to only one child, causing many tragic stories. It was not until 2016 that the CCP fully liberalized the “two-child” policy due to the serious aging problem; only five short years later, the CCP announced that it would relax to the “three-child” policy.
Su Ziyun, the chief executive of the Integrated Strategic Technology Center of Tamkang University in Taiwan, said in an interview with Epoch Times that China currently has three major dilemmas, which are as difficult to change as the three big mountains, namely, buying a house, medical care, and pensions. These heavy pressures put China on The people can hardly breathe.
China’s elderly account for 60% by 2025
He analyzed that this is a social problem that the CCP has been unable to solve for the past 15 years. The source is that the CCP forcibly promoted the “one child” policy. The evaluation of this policy was wrong, which led to the rapid aging of Chinese society. .
According to United Nations estimates, around 2025, China’s elderly population may reach as high as 60%. Su Ziyun said, “In the past, the demographic dividend of China’s economic development will disappear and it will have no effect on the economy.”
When the one-child policy was implemented, many experts warned that in the future, China will experience difficulties such as an aging population and a drastic reduction in labor force. It is now fulfilled one by one, and it is difficult to recover. Su Ziyun said that due to the large number of elderly people in China, the number of elderly people who must be shared among the young and middle-aged population has increased. Looking back, it will aggravate the plight of China’s three mountains and turn it into a vicious circle. This is an internal structural problem that appears under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party.
How effective is it for three children? Su Ziyun believes that this effect is very limited. This is because young people cannot turn over even if they work hard. In addition, China’s labor force has been drastically reduced and the demographic dividend is no longer affected, which affects economic development and makes life more difficult. In the end, the Chinese people dare not have a second child even if they have already given birth to one child. Let alone the third child. The economic pressure is too great, and a young man has to support several elderly people. “This policy will ultimately fail to achieve any effect.”
Unless the CCP provides more favorable terms, for example, referring to foreign practices, the state subsidies for the child’s parenting expenses from birth to 6 years old, and there may be some incentives. However, he believes that under the CCP system, it is impossible to implement the same social welfare policies in China.
It is worth noting that there are also population policy errors that have led to serious “gender imbalances.” Su Ziyun said that because of the one-child policy in China for a long time, each family can only have one child. Many families are killed as long as they give birth to girls because of the inheritance. This has caused a serious imbalance in the ratio of men to women in China, causing many people to reach marriageable age. The dilemma that men cannot find a spouse, that is to say, there is no object to have children, so the implementation of three children is doomed to fail. This is also a tragedy caused by the Chinese Communist Party system.
“Lying Flat Doctrine” Chinese-style Top Hakka
Because life pressures are too heavy, there has been a wave of “flatness” in China recently, that is, young people face all kinds of helplessness in life and choose a way of not working, not buying a house, not shopping, not getting married and having children, using low consumption. A simple life style to make a living.
Su Ziyun believes that under one-party authoritarian propaganda, Chinese young people may not be aware of the mistakes of the Chinese Communist Party, but when young people find that no matter how hard they work, they can’t get married and start a business, which is a kind of negativity in desperation. Life reaction, “lying flatism” can also be described as “top Hakka with Chinese characteristics”.
The so-called “top Hakka” means getting married without having children. However, the “Chinese-style Ding Ha” does not even get married, and only wants to live alone and enjoy the limited life of petty bourgeoisie, in order to slightly improve personal living standards. Because once you get married, you will not only lose the very little economic freedom, but also raise your children, and the burden will be heavier. Therefore, economic and gender imbalances, and the young generation’s negative attitude towards life are the consequences of the Chinese Communist Party’s long-term implementation of various wrong policies in China.
