BEIJING (AP) -- China's population of 1.3 billion people would be 400 million higher if not for the government's policy of limiting most families, state media reported Thursday. The "one-child" policy has slowed population growth and contributed positively to the country's socioeconomic development, the Xinhua News Agency said, citing Zhang Weiqing, the minister in charge of the State Population and Family Planning Commission. But Zhang said China needed to address the problems of an imbalanced sex ratio and an aging population, the agency reported.

The Obama administration's decision to restore U.S. support for the United Nations Population Fund has reignited controversy over how China implements its one-child policy. The population fund, or UNFPA, has a presence in more than 140 countries.
Nearly 30 years after the implementation of China's one-child policy, the population of the world's largest nation weighs in at an estimated 1.3 billion people -- 300 million less than was projected in the 1970s. Government officials attribute this decrease to the success of the country's strict family planning policies, citing population control as a necessary precondition for economic growth. But the one-child policy, initially meant to last a single generation, has also proved to have adverse effects on the gender balance of China today. The Chinese government has responded to these issues with new policy reforms. Nevertheless, China cannot expect its policies to effect change without a greater emphasis on expanding its currently weak social security system.

Your editorial "Countering China" (Monday) shows a mature understanding of geopolitics and the implications of China's rise for free democratic societies in general and the United States, Japan and India in particular. In coming years, China's economic power could translate into military might. I fully agree with the editorial that America's ability to contain China could depend on the rise of other global counterweights allied with the United States, particularly Japan, India and Australia in the Asia-Pacific region, i.e., the "core" group formed by the United States to lead post-tsunami relief efforts. You are again right in stating that India, the largest democracy with a billion-plus people, is another critical potential counterweight to China. Although China's growth has outpaced t...
