Of course, we can also discuss the issue of justice from the perspective of population. No matter at what level of justice, whether it is at the national, national or family levels, the number of people is naturally an important indicator of measurement, if there is no human being, where is human justice? For the people of a country, the justice of the people of that country is how to make the life of the people of the country in a state of vitality, no one has no country, and naturally there is no justice at the national level to discuss. From this perspective we can directly observe the relationship between justice and life.

If the population is insufficient, it will not be able to establish an effective defense when the foreign invaders will not be able to establish an effective defense - there will not be enough troops to resist the invasion of foreign invasions; if the population is insufficient, it will easily bring destruction to the overly sparse population when epidemics and other natural disasters strike. In order for the people of a country to be in a state of vitality, a reasonable number of people who can reasonably match the natural environment is undoubtedly an important factor.
Overpopulation can also cause disaster. In animal husbandry, there is a term for "livestock capacity", which refers to the number of livestock grazed on a certain area of pasture, and if the number of livestock exceeds this number, the natural environment of the grassland will be destroyed, which will lead to the degradation of grassland, soil erosion and even desertification. The annual sandstorms on the mainland are also closely related to overgrazing in grasslands.
Similarly, the term "manned capacity" must be applied. Because a country's territory and space are limited, and resources are also limited in a limited environment, if the population is excessively inflated, it will inevitably make various natural resources tend to a state of tension, which will destroy the ecological balance there. Overpopulation is an important cause of the intensification of social contradictions, and it is also one of the triggers of a series of moral chaos, which will cause the overall vitality of the people to weaken, or cause a state of injustice.
In order to avoid excessive population expansion, China has vigorously promoted family planning policies since the 1960s and 1970s, and even made family planning a basic national policy in 1982. In 2001, the mainland also promulgated the "Population and Family Planning Law of the People's Republic of China", the purpose of which is to prevent the excessive growth of the population from affecting the growth of the national economy and to alleviate the contradiction between excessive population growth and the shortage of environment and resources.
In terms of population policy, the Chinese government has adopted a separate approach to Han and ethnic minorities, such as where Han couples can only have one child, ethnic minorities can often have a second child. In rural areas, where labor is needed, a second child can be born if the first child is a girl. Through these measures, the government has not only safeguarded the justice of the Han nationality – not to affect the justice of the country due to overpopulation, but also the justice of the ethnic minorities – so as not to decay due to the underpopulation, and thus the justice of the minority nationalities. It upholds justice for urban dwellers – not to overcrowd and make them more habitable – and justice for rural dwellers – with an adequate labour force.

The Government realizes justice for all peoples — justice for the nation — through the fine-tuning of specific population policies. Of course, with the change of the environment, the population policy will be adjusted, but the fundamental purpose is only one, that is, how to make the mainland and the various ethnic groups in it in a state of vitality.
The question of population has a completely different interpretation in Russia. In their speeches to the State of the Union, Russian leaders Putin and Medmecev repeatedly emphasized russia's population size, believing that the population problem was the "sharpest problem" facing Russia at that time. Because since the early 1990s, Russia began to experience negative population growth, in the past 10 years, the mortality rate of Russians is nearly 1. 5 times.
That is, Russia now has an average net reduction of about seven hundred thousand people per year. Experts believe that if Russia does not make major adjustments to its population policy, the country's population will be reduced to 1. 200 million or even 90 million, and the current 85 million working population will be reduced to 65 million, which sounds like a lot of people, but it is very small compared to Russia's vast land area, and such a population will seriously affect economic development. If the Russians are gone, obviously the justice that many Russians believe will not exist. Therefore, in order to increase the birth rate of the Russian population, the Russian government has introduced a number of measures to encourage fertility, including the establishment of a mother's fund to encourage childbearing and to provide welfare for families with many children.
Putin has repeatedly promised to provide more cash rewards to encourage couples to have more children in order to reverse the sharp decline in population. During the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union in World War II, the Soviet government encouraged more children and awarded the title of "heroic mother" to mothers who had more children. The Russian government's population policy is based on the same purpose – to achieve Russian justice – to put Russia in a state of vitality.
The same problem is in Japan, where Japanese scholars recently warned that if the birth rate continues to decline, the Japanese will no longer exist in a thousand years, according to theoretical calculations. According to previous data released by the Japanese government, as of April 1, 2012, the number of people under the age of 15 in Japan was 16.65 million, a decrease of 280,000 in one year.
Scholars at Tohoku University in Japan made a "children's population clock" and posted it on the Internet to remind the public in a countdown to how much time Japan has left until the last child left. They say the number of children in Japan is decreasing at a rate of about 1 person per 100 seconds.
Hiroshi Yoshida, an economics professor at Northeastern University, said: "At this rate, we will have one child left on May 5, 3011, and we can still celebrate Children's Day." But for 100 seconds after that, there will be no children in Japan. Japan's population is heading for extinction, an overall trend since the birth rate fell into two children (per woman of childbearing age) in 1975. ”
From such a discussion, we can directly feel the relationship between life and justice. 【Back to home】
