my country's negative population growth is the hope, and the crisis of population decline will bring disaster to the country and the people. In an ecosystem, if there is no forced control by external forces, the number of lower species will always continue to multiply and grow until the number exceeds the capacity of the ecosystem, leading to ecosystem collapse and catastrophic disasters, which will lead to large-scale disasters. die.
When the number of higher species increases to a density that is too high, they will consciously undergo birth control, stop growing and gradually fall back to a safe number, thus avoiding disaster.
In 2022, my country's total population will decrease by 850,000 compared to the end of the previous year.
After more than half a century of rapid population growth, the car has finally come to a halt, and my country's national family planning policy has finally taken effect. At the same time, the current pressure from my country's excessive population has also led to people voluntarily taking birth control. Our Chinese nation is a high-level nation with the ability to control itself. species.
However, some people with ulterior motives are vigorously promoting the theory of population (decline) crisis.
But looking at the overall situation, the root cause of the biggest crisis currently facing our country and the world is still overpopulation, not population reduction. What our country should do is let nature take its course and let the population naturally fall back to a reasonable range, rather than encourage an increase.
fertility rate!
1. The problem of excessive population is still the Sword of Damocles hanging over our country. 1. What is the reasonable population range of our country?
Academician Song Jian, a famous cybernetics expert and director of the National Science and Technology Commission, studied 650 million (the moderate population based on freshwater resources) and 738 million (the maximum population capacity in 2050 based on agricultural products and protein).
Li Xiaoping of the Institute of Population Research of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences believes that China’s long-term population goal should be determined as follows: after 100 years, it should strive to reduce it to 800 million, and strive to reach a lower level. “In any case, it should not be higher than 1 billion, and it should be reduced after 200 years.”
to a level of around 300 million, and at most not higher than 500 million.”
If calculated based on the global average cultivated land carrying population of 3 acres per person, China's cultivated land area is rapidly decreasing, but the bottom line is 1.8 billion acres, and China's reasonable population is 18/3 = 600 million people.
2. Our country’s population has been seriously overloaded. Our country’s current population has long exceeded the load capacity of our country’s land. Almost all the plains in our country that are suitable for farming and development have long been reclaimed. Over-cultivation has caused the continuous degradation and shrinkage of our country’s cultivated land, and the development of urbanization in our country.
It has also continued to encroach on cultivated land on a large scale, and cultivated land is decreasing rapidly. In order to maintain the bottom line of 1.8 billion acres of cultivated land, our country is reclaiming mountainous land unsuitable for farming on a large scale as a "cultivated land occupation and compensation balance", causing serious water and soil erosion and ecological deterioration. Our country's land cannot support it.
1.4 billion people.
my country has become the world's largest food importer, and the contradiction between overpopulation and land scarcity has become increasingly prominent.
As the world's population continues to grow, a global food crisis is about to break out. As the world's largest population, China's life will be hanging by a thread if it relies on imported food and is surrounded by crises.
my country's grain imports for 2022 will exceed 170 million tons, continuing to rank first in the world. my country's imports of major agricultural products, equivalent to the sown area, exceed 1.1 billion acres.
The food problem cannot be solved by importing as long as the economy develops. As the world's population grows, the remaining natural cultivated land needs to be continuously reclaimed, exacerbating the global ecological crisis.
Brazil, which has the world's largest uncultivated land, the Amazon rainforest, is continuously reclaiming farmland to become the world's new granary, and gradually becoming one of the largest sources of imports of agricultural products in my country. (Brazil is my country's largest import source of virtual farmland resources for agricultural products.) The net import volume in 2021 is 35.618 million hectares, accounting for 38.1% of my country’s total imports of virtual cultivated land resources.) Although it has alleviated my country’s food pressure, the indirect damage to the rainforest has become increasingly serious. From January to August last year, Brazil The area of ??deforestation and burning forest in the Amazon rainforest area is 7,135 square kilometers, an increase of 19% over the same period last year.
Local farmers cut down and burn forests to reclaim land for growing crops and raising livestock. However, continued land reclamation will have a serious impact on global climate change and biodiversity.
Relying on indirect cultivation of the last rainforest and other natural resources to provide imported food to maintain an overpopulation is undoubtedly quenching thirst by drinking doves.
3. Moral torture: Every increase in population is actually at the cost of depriving a group of wild animals of their living space and right to survive.
In the past few decades, humans have invaded the habitats of other species, continuously exterminating wild animals and plants and converting them into cultivated land, so as to feed the growing population. The "Living Planet Report 2022" released by the World Wildlife Fund on October 13, 2022
It shows that human activities have caused the global wildlife population to decrease by 69% compared to 1970.
Over the past half century, the total number of global wild animal populations that have been driven to extinction by humans has been equivalent to the entire population of Europe, America, Africa, Oceania and China combined.
The excessive growth of population in recent years has led to the mass extinction of biological species. The current rate of species disappearance is much higher than any previous mass extinction event. If this continues, by the end of the 21st century, 50% of all species on the earth will disappear.
