That a low birth rate would be in anyway critical is nothing but a myth created to justify the overpopulation going on.
Don't you think the same arguments were made back when they applied this policy in 1979?
noone cared to argument in 1979 as China was deeply communistic country and noone in the western world would bother with them. Its different now as they have opened their country and it has become one of the largest economies in the world and part of the system.

Nature has a way of controlling things, trying to control nature will only bring more harm.
