Gas prices go up for chinese citizens

Continued

After a decade of arguing and negotiating a deal between Russias Gazprom


and China National Petroleum Corp, the agreement of delivering some 38
million cubic metres of natural gas to China has now been signed at the
summit in Shanghai by President Putin and Jinping. 1. Starting around 2018,
this deal is expected to bring up gas prices for China and many European
countries. The Russian president, who has been pushing to
close
the deal after
almost a decade of negotiations, called the agreement "the largest in the gas
sphere during the era of the USSR and Russia". The Russian president, who

Although Russias Gazprom will be supplying China with many years of
natural gas, it will still be difficult to pay back the four hundred billion dollars
that this deal is worth. 2. Not only the money for the actual project, but also
the construction and transportation of the gas to lead from Russia to China.
Developing the greenfield deposits and building the pipeline needed for the
deal will be a colossal and costly undertaking. According to Putin, Russia will
invest $55bn developing the project, while China will invest at least $20bn.
China bought natural gas to decrease the environment damages that result
from the overpopulation and thousands of factories spread across the
country. 3. Two key elements of Chinas national energy strategy are energy
security, driven by aggressive resource acquisition abroad and development
at home, and pollution control, driven by a shift away from coal to cleaner
fuels. For both elements, natural gas is set to
play
an increasing role. 4. In
China, natural gas currently produces less than 1% of the total power output,
compared to 23% in the United States and 48% in Russia.

them think twice about what they are doing to themselves and/or future kids.
Now with a rare rise in births, access to good education for the youth wont
get easier, nor will sources to healthcare/food/services/etc.
Just because the one-child policy is no longer in regulation, does not mean
that people should take advantage of that and start growing bigger families. 3.
Even if they are economically stable and ready for another kid, there is no
space in this country for more people. The infrastructure is not strong
enough to afford larger family sizes in this overpopulated limited space.

Less babies in China

When the one-child policy was enforced to the citizens of China in September
of 1980, a majority of the people in the republic vastly disagreed with the
enforcement of this law. They did not like the way the government wanted to
get rid of second born children and they did not want any kind of restriction
to their social liberty that interfered with how their family structure was
managed. But this rule was not executed for any other reason than for the
greater good for China. 1. With limited resources, it wont be possible to give
the people of China the resources that they need to have for themselves and
their families. Without it, China will soon be an economic and social disaster,
which will lead to poverty, misery, and death. To keep living a well-based,
healthy life in a country such as China, there needs to be order and control of
the human population. The one-child policy is a responsible resolution to the
environmental and social challenges of overpopulation.
Now, thirty five years later, China's top legislature has formally adopted a
resolution easing the country's one-child policy. The Standing Committee of
the National People's Congress passed a resolution allowing couples to have
two children if either parent is an only child. It may sound like a strict
circumstance, but there are still many families that are under this category
that now have legal permission to have bigger families.
China saw a rare rise in births in 2014 up 470,000 from 2013 after
allowing couples to have a second child if one of the parents was an only
child. It is understandable why couples across China want the freedom to
have a family of however many children they desire, but knowing that the
number of children being born is going up because of the passing of this law
should make
