　　“I’m shaking to be honest,” said Stuart Gietel-Basten, an University of Oxford³ demographer⁴ who has argued for the end of the one-child policy. “It’s one of those things that you have been working on and saying for years and recommending they should do something and it finally happened. It’s just a bit of a shock.”

　　标题：Why China Is Ending Its One Child Policy

　　London School of Economics Professor Hyun Bang Shinsaid the end of the policy was inevitable⁵. With more and more people expected to move into China’s cities, where the one child policy has been strictly⁶ enforced, the burden to provide welfare and public resources by the government increases.

　　伦敦政经的教授Hyun Bang Shin博士认为，计划生育政策的终结是不可避免的。随着越来越多的人期望移居计划生育严格执行的中国城市，政府提供社会福利和公共资源的压力也与日俱增。

　　"China is an aging country with the a long life expectancy⁷. It is quite clear the younger generation will bear a greater burden in the coming years," Shin said.

　　“中国已是个高度老龄化的国家。接下来几年里，可见年轻人的压力会越来越大，”Shin说道。
