The link is a reminder we are to be confronted by China
MHaze ok still hold my view,you will be aware anti climate changers, consider science/fact untrue
I reserve the right to say much the same about your claim
China by the way is to set soldiers in Cambodia, the country we paid millions of dollars to to house what two refugees?
I would love to think we can blunder on without ever changing anything but we just can not
Drought, at least increasing in numbers,surely is a symptom of over population and climate change
Or are droughts increasing for some other reason? can that reason be something other than those two mentioned things

Whatever happened to, "populate or perish"?
JF Aus,
It has reached its use-by date because it encouraged the wrong crowds !

Mr Opinion and Belly,
Both you blokes have been around here long enough to have read that Iran and Thailand each found a way to restrict women from having too many kids. It is through government sponsored family planning.

Similar schemes need to be embraced by other countries and especially by those that often have famines.

The fact that the UN does not take heed of what Iran and Thailand learned shows it has failed as an organization. Population can be controlled without harsh measures and needs to be embraced.

To find out simply google family planning in those countries, it can be done. Population control is not too hard.

At the 2016 Census, the count was 1.2 million Chinese residents, plus around 200,000 students. About 6 % of the total Australian population. Get a grip.

Chinese have been here, working their backsides off and contributing to the development of Australia since before the gold-rushes. A hundred years ago, in town after town, it was the Chinese who grew the vegetables that fed our ancestors. In Oodnadatta, Tenterfield, you name it.

I went to high school in Darwin in the late fifties, and the Chinese community was the backbone of social life; it provided by far the best baseball team, and some amazing sportsmen and women as well. I had some wonderful friends there whose generosity I will never forget. One bloke taught me how to jive.

Population: the world's growth rate seems to be slowing down. As women are able to get a better education, they tend to marry later (since, after all, they may well have employable skills and thereby have options other than early marriage) and have fewer kids. So let's promote women's education everywhere.

In most of the world other than Africa, the world's population will stabilise and/or decline later this century. 'Growth' will more likely be a result of people living longer. Japan is already facing huge employment problems because of this - many old people, too few younger people to do the work. So they're re-thinking their immigration policies.

Probably by 2100,the main population problem of much of the world will be similar to Japan's now: not enough younger people to do the necessary work. So countries will turn to immigration on the one hand and automation etc. on the other.

And by the way, putting these two issues together: China's population will stabilise around 2050-2060, and decline sharply by 2100, perhaps halve, thanks to the legacy of the idiotic one-child policy of Mao's.

The greatest problem we face has nothing to do with any external threat. It is our run away bureaucracies at all level, national state, & the worst local government.

My neighbour, a single pensioner was complaining about his recently received council rates bill. Just to live on the home he has bought & paid for with after tax income, he now has to pay 2 full months of his pension to keep hundreds of bureaucrats chattering away in town.

Yes that is right, one sixth of his pension goes on keeping a bunch of basically useless twits in air conditioned comfort, doing nothing useful for him or the rest of us.

This is just rates, there is no water supply or sewerage out here, thank god. I am glad I don't have to pay water rates. Sure it is no more expensive than supplying your own water, but I am silly enough to hate paying for something I am not allowed to use during a drought, when I need it most.

These bureaucrats will strangle us to death, long before WW111 appears.

Henry L in supporting those countries actions are you[and you may well not be] saying it should be compulsory?
Are any of us, even near agreeing with China's concentration camp rehabilitation [forced faith change] move
Indy,ok just say you are right [I never will] how do we and the world remove the wrong types
Could we should we
Face it AMERICA is a nation of refugees and migrants, we are too, if all the wrong types go what country do they send us whites to
The world is in trouble,not just racism, a tool politicians use to divide and control us, but we are misusing the planet
Learning to live together give and take is not just the easy path it is the only achievable one
For example, a horrific story this day SMH father murdered his 14 year old daughter, because she would not live within his ethnic background rules [clearly if we are to live as one some need to adopt our laws rules and culture as well as their own]
