Yes, unlike individual sovereignty ideologues who devolve into squabbling, grid-locked rabbles in democracies, the Chinese people are happy to co-operation with all other non-ideology based peoples. 

Quote:
India hosts the Dalai Llama and the Tibetan government-in-exile and recruits Tibetans into its army to patrol the Tibetan border. India would likely also support Tibetan independence should the opportunity arise.


The Qing empire is too recent in Chinese history for China to contemplate the permanent loss of Qing territory which occurred at the hands of Westeners in the "century of humiliation".   And  rising living standards in Tibet will cement re-establishment of Chinese sovereignty, accepted by the majority. As for the Dalai Lama:

https://www.mfa.gov.cn/ce/cebel//eng/zt/zgxz/t265177.htm

"The Dalai Lama has, in recent years, been telling the world he has stopped seeking "Tibetan independence" and turned towards a "middle way".

By this, he says, he means "high-level autonomy" or "real autonomy" in Tibet and other Tibetan-inhabited areas within the framework of the Chinese Constitution. Only by doing so, he has argued, can Tibet best protect its unique traditional culture, religion and eco-environment, and can the unification and unity of China be maintained. (On March 10, 1959, the reactionary upper class in Tibet staged a counter-revolutionary armed rebellion. When it was suppressed, the Dalai Lama and his men fled to India, where he made March 10 as a remembrance "Resurrection Day".)

On March 10, 2006, he followed his usual practice of delivering a speech, in which he said: "Making the Tibetan race become the real masters of their own fate and enjoy real autonomy constitutes my only wish. And this wish could be materialized as the PRC Constitution contains special stipulations for this."

Another example of blind ideology destroying the ability to think.
A huge population living in absolute poverty must first bring population growth under control.

You misunderstand the criticism.

Do the Chinese hate Indians or something?


No.


You like to single them out. Why? Something to do with the subcontinent thing?

Quote:
Yes. proving that Chinese intervention into population  growth  helped the transition to developed country status.


Do you understand why people might criticise the policy?

Quote:
Wrong. A forward looking state like China, concentrating on national development with common prosperity,  not hide-bound by conflicting religious mythology among poverty stricken "deplorables" (to borrow Clinton's word) as in India, will be able to be far more adaptable and pragmatic.


Is drowning female babies at birth in a bucket of water pragmatic?

Quote:
Meantime 'flat earth' mainstream economists are still bleating about the need for "growth".....as if the planet has infinite resources.


Economic growth does not have to mean more resource consumption. But there are plenty of resources that are in all practical respects, infinite.

Quote:
No it wasn't, as I have already explained to you; a huge subsistence poverty population must first get pop. growth under control.


There is more than one way to skin a cat.

Are they?

Again, you seem to think you can speak for all Chinese.

Or have you been indoctrinated?

More like the CCP is happy to tell the Chinese people how to think and behave, and devote huge resources to maintaining the facade. Any leader who deludes himself into thinking the people appreciate this is liable to get stir fried.

It makes you wonder what the modern Chinese greeting to foreigners might be to determine if they are non-ideology based.

Is "CCP sycophant" an ideology?

But the fact remains.

Quote:

I simply draw the comparison between the hide-bound ideology - a mishmash of backward religious ideology and adversarial 'democratic'  politics in India, with a forward looking socialist China which has increased its per capita wealth 5 times as much as India in the last 4 decades.

Quote:

Of course.

Quote:

In a poverty ravaged nation, yes.

Quote:

It does to mainstream flat-earth economic ideologues... as if Oz needs to continually grow its population to achieve rising living standards.

Quote:
But there are plenty of resources that are in all practical respects, infinite.


Agreed, so you will be able  to understand the basic tenet of MMT, namely,   the nation's constraint is resources, not money...which is always created out of thin air whether debt free by the government  (as should be the case) or by private bankers who reserve the privilege for themselves, as in the current classical-economics-based monetary system.

Quote:
There is more than one way to skin a cat.


There sure is, as I have drawn your attention to above.

But unrestrained population growth in a huge subsistence  population isn't one of them, if you want to lift the population out of poverty.

Do you anticipate a return to the one-child policy if mainland Chinese start (as you say of Indians) breeding like rabbits?

China has reached developed nation status; Chinese women won't allow a reversion to loss of their own control of family planning/pregnancy, unlike their unfortunate sisters in rural India...

You're speaking for all Chinese women now?

And another derogatory reference to Indians.

All Chinese women are now in a position, like all Oz women, to decide their own  number of pregnancies, unlike their sisters in poverty-stricken, rural India. 


Hint: women want their own lives today, above being  baby machines.

Conditions associated  with absolute poverty are not derogatory, just fact.

Were you born in China? I guess you're not posting from China as that would be illegal, unless you've had approval from the CCP.

Racism in China is rampant, and so common that locals aren't even aware that they're racist.

Like the general dislike for black people.

Irrelevant to facts re population control in nations blighted by absolute poverty, infanticide, and lifting living standards.
