China has a population of over 2 billion people which has put stress on its agriculture, energy, and forests. In the 1950s-1960s, the government encouraged large families due to its philosophy that a larger population meant a stronger nation, while improved healthcare and food lowered death rates. This combination of factors has resulted in China becoming overpopulated.
