      We shouldn’t copy and paste China’s policies into our own nations. Don’t forget the historical context: the Chinese didn’t know how industrialization would affect population growth (nobody did at the time), and their nation had a lot of famines in history.

      A larger population isn’t gonna do shit for the indigenous people if they don’t get political representation. IIRC South Africa had a Black majority but the White minority was the one in power.

      The Land-back movement isn’t a “get out settler” movement. It’s about the Indigenous people having the right to choose their destiny and control their land. In practice that would mean socialism, higher percentage of minorities in Assemblies, quotas for jobs, incentives for having children, and land reform.

      China’s one child policy was to combat explosive population growth as well as the reactionary habit of having many children as a store of wealth. Ethnic minorities in China are mostly from regions where there is not an abundance of food and thus they had lower reproduction rates to begin with.

      Birth rates don’t even hit replacement levels in settler states. Explosive population growth is not a issue at all. Indigenous peoples already have higher than average birthrates in the 3 big settler states.

      Its a “fix” for a problem that doesn’t exist done for eugenics purposes.
