An interesting policy on our demographics

I recently noticed (or assumed) a few actions on how my 'most correct and greatest' government is foreseeing the huge burden of an aging population: e.g. We have increased the personal income tax; I personally see the controlled high real estate price also has to do with 'gathering' more fund for the old. Our 4-2-1 family shape has already put enormous burden on the young generation. (Note: 4 parents, 2 people as a couple, 1 kid)

Both Vietname and India are fast growing developing countries with a very low average age at about 26 years old while China's average is above 40. So giving birth is once again encouraged: when a couple is of 2 single kids, they can have 2 kids. But today, I am not really talking about the aging demographics, neither the out-numbered man population: if they should be gay or join the army, I am talking about the minorities!

I recently learnt that (forgive my ignorance) if a majority Chinese marry a minority Chinese, you can have 2 kids. For me personally, this is a very controversial and even scary policy being implemented, especially meanwhile we have been constantly relocating more and more majority Chinese to the west. Yes, we want to be a unified country together. But, how about diversity?

This policy is again slightly different from when Qin Empiror unified China in B.C. 221. Because he drove the minorities out of China: e.g. Thai, Vietnamese, etc. So today they have established their own country with their people, their culture and great heritages. But what will happen when the Chinese majority and minority marriages are encouraged with favorable policies? I do not dare to imagine that, I am afraid.

When I lived in Sweden and Holland, I can see the divides between different ethnical groups though living in the same city. A lot of the western societies today are learning how to create harmony while encouraging interaction between different ethnical groups. I guess though China does not have a lot of foreign immigration, we are facing the same kind of challenges in the past 2000 years of how to accomondate different 'races' in a peaceful and interactive way. However, eliminating difference or even eliminating races is NOT a solution.

The minimum/basic I can propose here are is: for the majority to learn more about the different minorities existing together with us. Then at least, we don't maintain the mentality that we are the only one existing in this country.
