Peace Without Poison

This means that the man responsible for introducing covert methods of depopulation in China isnone other than Chairman Mao Zedong (1945-1976) the founding father of the People’sRepublic of China. This fact has been kept secret undoubtedly not to ruin Mao’s legacy but also,and primarily, to hide the country’s covert depopulation measures.Deng Xiaoping (1978-1992), introduced the One-Child-Policy two years after Mao died and heassumed sole control of China after he outmaneuvered Hua Guofeng (1976-1981). The policyremains in place to this day and is credited with having prevented the birth of 400 millionChinese.Yet despite China’s high contraceptive prevalence rate of nearly 80% and the stringency of theOne-Child-Policy, the data shows that contraceptives fail often, which is why China has a farhigher abortion rate than one would expect at 19.2 per 1,000 women, the tenth highest in theworld (according to 2013 UN data) after Russia (37.4), Cuba (28.9), Kazakhstan (27.4), Georgia(26.5), Estonia (25.5), Romania (21.3), Ukraine (21.2), Sweden (20.8), and the US (19.6).And that is why China augments its legislative and medical population control methods withfluoridated toothpaste, which in China contains four times more fluoride than elsewhere in theworld. But at least China refrains from poisoning the water, food and beverages of its citizens.China too has been rewarded for its population control efforts with a rising per capita GDP. Assoon as China reached replacement level fertility around 1990, the GDP began to grow rapidly.China has recently entered the fourth stage of the demographic transition.162 | P a g e
