China authorized all couples to have two children. A new era or a new world challenge
by Emanuele Bonini
The central committee of the communist party of China announced that couples can have two children. The "ancient regime" of one child per family is over, but is it a good or a bad new? Of course the answer is positive. Yes, it is a good new. The system put in place by the Communist party has always been a controversial one, but there was a reason behind that so criticised birth control. How to feed all the people? And how sustainable can be a country where more and more people asks for life? In People's republic of China these questions found an answer in the family policies imposed until yesterday. Now PRC has gained a huge economic power, a social wealth capable of enlarging demands and address new needs. China can do what it coudn't do until few years ago, and this is of course a good new. Of course now the question is how sustainable will be this historical choice. This good new means world food demand will rise in time of crisis and scarcity of resources. Desertification, intensive use of land, pollution and climate have been posing a serious threat to the world sustainability. China can live the change, but could the rest of the world do the same? The historical page turned in China risks to become a bad new for somebody else. Is the world ready to feed new generations? This is the challenge governments started to deal with, and it was not a case if Italy decided to focus EXPO 2015 on this specific issue. A new reminder is now coming from the PRC.
