1. Land area is one factor neither the United States nor China can easily grow further to compete with each other.
2. This is one of the few areas in which China has the edge in size over the United States – but just barely.
3. China has a land area of 9.3 million square kilometers (3.6 million square miles), which is 2.2% larger than the U.S. land area of 9.1 million square kilometers (3.5 million square miles).

So they have just a tiny bit more land as they don't count Taiwan or HK in the Pop or land area. What would we do with 1 billion more people, as they need to eat and work, don't they??

What is your point Penelope?

China has more than three times the population of the U.S., uses slave labor and is ran by a one political party system that awards those loyal to the People Party, so should we be more like China?

If so no thanks...

America is a Free Country, so we won't do "anything with" a billion people, if our population would grow that big. We would just let the free markets work, and acknowledge the billion people's rights to make their own way.

Its more like 1.35 after they sacrificed so many lives to tank the american economy this year.

I am confused, what is the point of this thread?

 

[Maxdeath]

Actually China has had a one child per family policy for many years. It has been strictly enforced by the state. And I do mean strictly.

The U.S. still allows individual freedom which means you are still allowed to have more then one child. Forced sterilization and killing of newborns are not part of our system.

What forced labor we had in prisons has mostly been done away with while it remains prevalent in China.

 

[MisterBeale]

This is an interesting moderate essay from a Chinese scholar on the Chinese technocracy;

The Benefits of Technocracy in China

Since the Reform and Opening initiated by Deng Xiaoping in 1978, any casual observer of China’s leaders might note how many of them were educated as engineers. Indeed, at the highest level, former presidents Jiang Zemin (1993–2003) and Hu Jintao (2003–2013) as well as Xi Jinping (2013–present)...

So we don't use slave labor? Tell the immigrants that one that pick our veggies, fruits and work in the slaughter houses. (also the Potus properties)

LOL - Fortune 500 companies use US prisoners to produce their products.

I think its 2 now, but yes they use to. The republicans are tying to stop abortions, how is that freedom? Newborn killing is illegal in all states.

 

[Tom Paine 1949]

Well, the point of the OP could be to consider the interaction of real population pressure and density and actual geophysical conditions on two different societies’ development. The history of the social and political institutions of the people living in the two regions (before and after Europeans arrived in North America) is completely distinct. But how boring understanding such matters are to ordinary Americans!

Just another three broad “factors” worth considering in the mix: 1) China is an old society, and its present authoritarian institutions do not go back just to 1949, but in many ways also to its unification in 221 B.C.; 2) China has far less flat and arable land available for agriculture, requiring historically more labor intensive methods; and 3) unlike in Europe, primogeniture was not practiced (i.e., in China land was generally divided between all descendants), so large landholdings and land-based aristocracies did not develop there, and thus there were few internal forces capable of countering the imperial state and its gentrified Confucian bureaucracy.

The point is, what would we do with a billion more people, would they have to work and eat. How is it any different than China, they have to eat and work don't they??

Yes, but I'm talking in today, real time, not history. What would we do with a billion more people?

We would be crime laden with that many people, and many people would starve.

I wouldn't worry about that. The scientific dictatorship is busy working on strategies to sterilize the population.

Overall fertility is already dropping like a stone.

When I was a kid, couples having trouble conceiving was a rarity. Now? It is common. By the time my kid is ready to have a child, it will be the norm.

Why would you think that? America's crime rate is greater than that in Red China or India, nations will well over a billion people each.

Really? Do you get to go somewhere after work?can you change companies? If not what prison are you in and why have you not contacted the ACLU?
