Shocking Data from Beijing

 

There are already signs that China’s birth rate and population are falling, with some experts warning of grave consequences. According to data released this month from Beijing Municipal Health Commission Information Center, the nation’s capital, Beijing, which has a population of around 21 million, suffered a 24.3 percent decline in its birth rate in 2020 compared with a year earlier. The total number of births in Beijing in 2020 was 100,368 – a decline of 32,266 compared with 2019’s 132,634, and the lowest figure in a decade. 

One birth per 200 i.e. 0.5%. I told them a generation ago that their one child diktat was a big mistake. They answered that they were too many of them.
