When did china prohibited opium trade?
Opium has been available for 5,000 years. Chinese indigenous opium was inferior to the opium grown by the British on Indian plantations, so opium users favored the imported product. The British essentially forced imported opium on the Chinese, and large numbers of people became addicted. The British used profits to fund its domination of India. The Chinese government tried to control drug abuse in the 19th century, but found it was impossible without British support. The British were very much against the Chinese growing their own opium. There is no reason to believe that poppies are not native to parts of China. See "Opium," by Martin Booth.

What is the Population problem of China and policies of China?
The population problem that China faces is rapid population growth and the inability of the country to adequately support it (Hofsten 1980, p. 213). Total population in China increased from 574.8 million in 1952 to 987.0 million in 1985 and 1248.1 million in 1998 (Chow 2002, p. 183). The exponential rate of increase has put considerable strain on China's economic and social development, and hinders the improvement of livelihood and quality of life (Information Office of the State Council Of the People's Republic of China 1991).
Experts have persuaded developing countries that rapid population growth was one of the biggest obstacles to economic development, and that these countries would not be able to direct their resources to economic development because they would be consumed in meeting the needs of the large population (Vervoom 2002, p. 150).
The government promoted the 'later, longer, fewer' campaign, which meant delaying marriage, longer spacing between births, and having fewer children (Kane & Choi 1999). The campaign was easily accepted by and did not meet with strong resistance from city residents and people in the rural areas (Poston et al. 2006, p. 14). However, the ambitious aim of reaching zero growth by the year 2000 was unattainable through this campaign.
Introduced in 1979, the aim of the one-child policy was to limit the population of the country to 1.2 billion by the year 2000 (Poston et al. 2006, p. 8). Wide ranges of incentives were granted to encourage couples to commit themselves to having only one child.
