Population is peaking anway. The only area that is left to boom in population by the traditional population curve is Africa. Generally it goes

 

high death rate, high birth rate (which is stable) -> high birth rate low death rate (population boom due to medicines) -> low birth rate low death rate (as a country develops birth rate drops naturally).

 

In fact China's population is meant to peak in the next couple of decades.
