As China is having an enormous economic expansion it is also facing many problems. One of the major problems people have become more and more concerned about is the country's population. At the dawn of this century there were some 426 million people living in China. Today the population is about 1.2 billion. About two-thirds of this 900 million increase was added within the last 50 years. The population has tripled since the People's Republic of China was grounded. Today Mainland China alone contributes to at least 20% of the world's population. To deal with this problem the one child policy was put into action. It was first hinted by Deng Xiaoping in a 1979 speech and was later in place nationwide by 1981. This has had a huge effect on Chinese culture. According to the Chinese tradition there must be a boy among the children in order to carry on the family’s name. As a result of the one child policy many infant females have been abandoned or killed in order to have another child, hopefully a boy.

Others feel that by merely immigrating to a less populated country could solve the problem. However the countries of choice, such as the United States, Great Britain, and Australia have many restrictions.

The State Statistics Committee forecasts that the population will shrink by 11 million more people in the next 15 years. This sudden drop in their population has contributed to the decline in the country’s economy. On Thursday February 15th, 2001 the Russian government announced that the country's relentlessly falling population now posed a grave threat to national security. This has also led to lower living standards, rising crime, and the collapse of the health care system. The decline of their population is mainly due to the alarming number of people who carry the AIDS virus. There is no substantial evidence as to why so many people in Russia has AIDS.

The wars between Haiti and the Dominican Republic in 1963 is directly linked to over population. The overflow of people from Haiti into the Dominican Republic has provoked resentment by the people of the Dominican Republic. Conflicts do not only occur among humans when there an environment is overcrowded. In laboratory experiments on animals, overcrowding produces highly anti-social and even violent conduct. The overpopulation in Haiti has taken its toll on the environment as well. The entire country has become completely de
