A fellow HackerNews reader had a great quote, I don't remember the source.
You're basically complaining that China has too many people and would presumably want that some of them wouldn't exist.
His quote was: "If you think a certain group of people shouldn't exist, how do you select that group of people? And how do you know that you, yourself, shouldn't he a part of that group?".
China's population is a fact. In the end, you can't argue against facts. And in their current circumstances, China, a much poorer per capita country than the US, is willing to sacrifice a bit of their profits for long term stability.

The US is basically eating its own seed corn.
