             By the new two-child policy come out in china in 1/1 2016, one child family and two child family in china is talking about the child policy. They are arguing about the benefits and bad about child policy. They are wondering if the two- child policy can fix the aging and labor problem. People wonder is the two-child policy against human rights. People start to compare one-child within the two-child policy. People argue about whether child-policy is great or not. But accord to a lot of credible research source, Child-policies are horrible policies. Child-policies detriment thousands of Chinese families over decades in many ways (Ide).

             Firstly, Scholars think that the Child-policies are awful policies. They think those child-policies is against humans’ rights. Women were forced to have abortion and second child is forced to go to orphanage. All above is showing people the child policy is taking people’s rights away. Government made the child policy to help them to govern the country. Government send out the force to check every families (Johnson). If the women of the family did not obey the policy and have more than one child. One of their children will be forced to go to orphanage. If the women are in pregnant, Government will force the women to do abortion (Gan). The birth control deprives women’s rights to have the baby. The government did not respect the basic rights of people. It is important to know the detail of the one-child policy before compare it to two-child policy. When looking back at one-child policy, the one-child policy made the miserable experience in the most family in china. Millions of women were forcing to do abortion due to the policy. It was an awful thing for mothers to kill their own baby. Many mothers did not want to give up their second baby, so they tried to hide away from the government force. Some of the mothers were not found by the government force. Some of the mothers were not so lucky, they were found by the government. Those mothers had to do an abortion even the baby was already 6 months (China uncensored). Isn’t that a terrible thing? Force those mothers to do late abortion, it could danger their life. But the government did care about it because they need to act their child policy to make sure population do not go too fast. Those mothers who had successful second birth, their second child will not have their ID for entire life. “The second child need to live secretly in rest of life. It was not fair to them, why do they have to live in such painful life?” The Chinese experts says in the interview (Martin King Whyte).

         When those second baby were found by the government, the government will send them to the orphanage. That was so bad to those families, they can never live together as a family. it was the most painful thing to a family, parents know that where is their children, but they could not raise their kids. That is a brutal thing to do to all the family in china. The child policy was so bad, it takes all the families’ rights away (China uncensored). When orphanage was full in china, government start to think to send those poor children to an international orphanage, so they can have more space to take over those children from their parents. Therefore, all the Chinese children were spread to the entire world. Their real parents were harder to see their children compare to the local orphanage (Johnson). According to stats, there is more than 80% of Chinese families want the second child before the two-child policy. They want the second child so their house will be lively; they want the second child so their children can support each other. Isn’t that unfair rule to a Chinese citizen (Johnson). There is no way that Chinese family needs to follow this child policy. Now the two-child policy is coming out, but it did not solve the problem itself. Yes, all families can have their second child baby, but what if they want the third or fourth? 

     There is still a limitation to birth rate. Besides, the reason why government chooses to open the second birth, because of government realize of the falling birth rate is hurting the economy. Before the Government post the one-child policy, normal Chinese families have more than 4 children. The population is going so fast during that time. The Government announce one-child policy to control population. Nowadays those children from big families are over 60. Due to the one-child policy, majority of labor is from single-son families. The one-child policy causes the aging problem in the population, so the government needs to higher birth rate to fix aging problem. To open two-child policy will bring china more young labor force. Due to many benefits, the government then decide to open two-child policy. There was a huge debate between the two-child policy. but most of the people are worrying about the two-child policy. People are questioned about the two-child policy. Some of the people wonder that government will force people to have a second child to help the aging population. Besides a lot of people does not have enough energy to have the second birth. Also, some people wonder if they can get fine back because they had a second birth before the two-child policy. Many people think that the reason government open two-child policy is just want to help to increase the workforce instead of the benefits of the citizen. According to working age population graph, 65 million of work force are shrinking in 1990, but the work forces are Increasing over year and year. In 2010, 75 million of work force are Shrinking. It shows that labor forces are decreasing significantly over the two decades.

          Government did not pay enough attention to citizen’s benefit. Some of official are saying that the child policy is good to help to control the population. It is right that people should control their birth rate. But the government should not force people to do it. It should be people’s own willingness to protect the country. The government should let people themselves decide to have how many babies they want. The government should not take away people’s rights. People will try to have less baby to help control the population. It should be people’s free will to decide what to do.          

          Secondly, one-child policy shaped the structure of Chinese families. In Chinese culture, families want to have a boy to carry the entire families. After Government announce the one-child policy. Families could not have more than one child. The hope of getting a boy is tiny. If families get a girl, they need to go with it. They will never have chance to get a boy in the family. This policy creates some abnormal family. Some of family will abandon the girl in the street and to try another birth (Sudworth). 

 It is always 4 grandparents and 2 parents and the only one child. So the little boy becomes the only hope for the whole families. Grandparents and parents put their entire life one the little boy. Of course, they do not want the little boy to get even little wound. They do everything for the little child. Everyone is happy to do things for the little child. The consequence is that on the inside of one child family, those children are heavily relying on their parents. The little child does not know that how to wash dishes and how to tie shoes. Because his parents did everything for him. Those children are growing up too spoiled. They do not clean and they do not listen. They are not polite to other people.

            Nowadays single-family children are not independent. When they are facing a problem, they will always ask their family member fix it for them. All the single-family child was lonely throughout their childhood. They do not have the brother to play together and communicate together. In many years, they can only play toy with themselves. In a long time, they are afraid to outside to communicate with other people. They like to stay in their own world. Those children have a lack of social experience and communication. Those children are also self-center. Because the whole family put their children in priority. Those children get what they want easily. They do not know how to help other people. They think that they are most important one in the world. They are rude and cocky. According to a young Chinese girl, she grows up lonely, she may have few friends while she grows up. But she does not have any long-term friend in her childhood. Due to those things, she is not quiet outgoing person. She like to stay in home after she get out of her work (Hatton). The one-child policy did not make the society better. Those kids grow up lonely in their family. They do not have brothers to communicate; they are not outgoing; they are not independent. they are self-centered. The next generation is facing the serious problem. 

      There is also the possibility that something happens to the only one child in the family. Then it just killed the entire family. There will be no hope for the family. And after few decades, the family may not be continued. For example, a car accident happened to the college students who is the only child in the whole family. He died after the horrible accident. His parents are too old to have another baby. His grandparents are too old to even hear the news. It is too painful for this family structure in china. A whole family is suffering pain together. 

     Of course, this is extreme scenario. But think about the only kids in the whole family, he needs to take too much responsibility. He needs to take care of the whole family when his parents and grandparents are old. He needs to raise next generation for the family. what if he is under too much pressure due to all kind of family things. What if he wants to commit suicide? Of course, he could not do it, if he dies, how can his family survive. 

     This family structure is taking all the freedom away from the only child in the family. This family structure distorts the only child’s life and freedom. That is dangerously way to every family in china right now. The reason way those children are under too much pressure is due to that parents are putting all the hope on their one child. When parents had three children, parents are not so worried about how those three children life will be. Maybe the first child can be a sports boy; the second child can be a musician; the third child can be a lawyer. 

      The parents do not put too much pressure on their three children, the parents just want their children live happily. But just imagine the parents only have one child, parents want the child to know everything. The parents want the child to learn all skill and all the instrument as possible as they can when the child is young (age3-6). It is common thing in china, all the parents make their child learn all the classes in 4 years old (Hatton).  Compare to American children, Chinese children do not have a happy childhood. Chinese children learn geometry and algebra in elementary school. Which American children learn it in high school. According to the stats, the small portion of 6th grade of elementary school Chinese student can solve the math problem that from the American college easily. Isn’t so sad for those children. All their childhood is spending time on studying. They could not enjoy their own freedom.

    But still, Chinese student are facing a huge competition in high school and college. All the Chinese student need to take a test to be able to go to high school and another test for the college. Chinese students need to study all the time to prepare for the one test. But it is still hard to get good score due to the high pressure (Xuefeng). A lot of students did not do well on the test and they could not go to high school and college. It became the disaster to the single family. all the family’s hope becomes nothing. The parents could not do anything with it. And the only child is so guilty that he killed the whole family’s hope. That is a dead cycle. What if the parents can have three children, three brothers will help each other on studying. They can solve a problem together. They do not have too much pressure because they know someone will pass the test. And they can probably all do well in the test (Xuefeng).

     Lastly, the stats show that one-child policy decreases Chinese’s birth rate tremendously over the decades. Now the aging population became a serious problem. China had to plan the insurance for the large group of old people. China had to figure out how to increase the young labor when more and more people become older. To abandon the child policy is the way to solve this situation. The birth rate will increase after China abandon the child policy. The Chinese government opened the two-child policy to help this aging population problem. But are not sure to abandon the child policy. It is still the not right thing to do. It is still against human rights. The government is still taking Chinese’s freedom away. But it is a good sign, the country is progressing every year. More and more people are arguing about the child policy and looking to help the situation.

      Those three things are the most important problem in the child policy. Due to those three things, child policy is not a right policy to follow it. I would hope that one-day government will abolish this unfair and wrong policy for all the Chinese families. Then Chinese families could share equal rights with all people from another country. To achieve the goal, we still have the long road to go. I believe the generation is changing. People will become the wiser man and we will figure out the solution for population problem. We do need to use the rule to control the birth rate. We do not need to take one’s rights to help to control population. Everyone is expecting the new fair generation is coming.
