The Chinese went through a very controversial "One child per family" policy from 1980 until just recently. It did ease some growth. - but they - and we - still suffer from out-of-control population growth.
It was my major in Grad school...and i taught a large/long unit about it in HS for decades.
The basic facts;
We're growing by 150 more births, than deaths per minute.
220,000 more per day.
1,000,000 every 5 days.

But more people means more easily transmitted diseases.
This COVID thing is the tip of the iceberg.
