@drumpfdon760 No, although there was some interbreeding, Neanderthals only contributes about 1-4% to the DNA of modern humans throughout Eurasia, including East Asians, and possibly confers some strengths such a resistance to certain diseases, as well as the cause of some diseases. There was also a closely related sub-species called Denisovan found in Siberia and Tibet, who were related to Neanderthals. Some of their DNA ended up in the aboriginal people of Australia, Oceania, Polynesia, etc. but not mainland east Asia. So, DUMPF Don, unless you are an African, you can take pride in the knowledge that you are likely about 3% archaic hominid. We are all the same.

@drumpfdon760 Sorry, if I include a link in my comment, it is automatically rejected by YouTube, so you will have to search for the information yourself, but is plentiful and easy to find. The widely touted figure of saving 400m births is now believed to be wrong. For example, you will find Thailand and South Korea cited as two of the benchmarks: they never had a One Child Policy, yet their birthrates are nearly the same as in China (see previous comments for the reasons). The Chinese authorities also did a long-term experiment in Shanxi, where the policy was suspended, yet no increase in birthrate was observed. There is plenty more if you care to look. This terrible policy caused so much pain and anguish, and the CCP clung to it for so long, yet in the end it proved utterly pointless, and completely ineffective.
