Population policy

Make notes!

Demographic pressure

China is                    . The                                which was maintained between 1979 and 2015 contributed to the demographic ageing.      

Nowadays, you are allowed to have more than one child, but many Chinese, on the contrary, do not want many children, because it is expensive and cost time.

                        

ageing

Increase in the percentage of the population aged 65 or older.

One Child Policy

Policy prohibiting families from having more than one child.

The real Chinese?

• Does the real 'Chinese' exist? Is there one Chinese culture?

• China is a big country, so there are many cultural differences...
• But the Chinese government wants to change this.
• Many minorities live in the West. The government wants to 'sinicize' the west
  Sinicize = 'to make Chinese’
  
  

Policy for Sinicizing

• Migration of the Han-Chinese to the West of China
  
• Ban religions, languages, cultural elements and statues of other cultures
