Possibily a million extra births per year. China is developed enough for the one-child policy to make that big of an effect. But it will be beneficial on the long run. They should really just abolish the one-child policy, really.
I just wish countries like Niger or Nigeria decided to do the same. Niger and north Nigeria specially are ticking time bombs, with the highest fertility rates in the world, semi-desertic landscapes suffering from bad land management and quickly depleting water resources.
I'm not one for the vanity of predicting the future apocaliptically, for it's often boring and has been done for centuries - but frankly, Sahelian West Africa is asking hard for it.
