China’s population shrank in 2022 for the first time in more than 60 years, a new milestone in the country’s deepening demographic crisis with significant implications for its slowing economy. The population fell in 2022 to 1.411 billion, down some 850,000 people from the previous year, China’s National Bureau of Statistics announced during a Tuesday briefing on annual data.
Many young people are choosing to marry later or deciding not to have children altogether, while decades of single births has led to the widely-discussed social phenomenon of families with one adult child as the sole caretaker for two parents – squeezing the post 1980s generation, who are expected both to care for elderly parents and raise young children.
AngelRe96386095 I mean wasn’t that their choice? They were extra picky about having x amount of kids, certain gender which cannot repopulate etc. I doubt very seriously they didn’t think this would happen at some point with those decisions
Sad to see the reporting is still biased towards the need for continual and rapid population growth above all else. Is 8 billion people on the planet not enough?!
Covid?
I'm willing to bet it has to be related to them Tiananmen Squaring the hell out of their citizens. Welding the doors shut with people in their homes, then said homes catching fire, then unable to escape.....nahhhj, that couldn't be it....
COVID deaths, people starving to death.
So, vaccines are working.
Mainly because of the Uyghur suppression and other minorities
HOW ABOUT Y'ALL FUCKING REPORT ON THEM COMMITTING GENOCIDE
Why do you think that a 'shrinking' population necessarily means a slowing economy? Increases in productivity and automation with a smaller population may well mean an increase in economic well-being.
there's more people in Asia today than there were on the entire planet in 1980

The number of new births is falling around the world.
Didn’t China restrict how much sex they could have or how many kids they could have or something a few years ago? 🤔
Their Covid plan worked for them
I have the impression that Asian people are much more evolved than all of us.
They got shorter?
Covid deaths have any bearing on the population decline in China.
Suppose China had 800,000 deaths from covid last year?
One child policy that forces families to relinquish their daughters...who saw this coming?
