China's One-Child Policy Architect Dies Amid Criticism

Peng Peiyun, who was in charge of China's one-child policy from 1988 to 1998, recently passed away.

Instead of people praising her, many on social media are criticizing the one-child policy.

This policy, which was in place from 1980 to 2015, forced many women to have abortions or sterilizations.

People are upset because China's population is now decreasing, and many children who could have been born were not.

The policy also led to a preference for boys, resulting in many girls being unwanted or aborted.

Now, China is trying to increase the birth rate with subsidies and benefits, but experts worry about the economic impact of a shrinking workforce and an aging population.
