    And wasn’t China very recently concerned about their birthrate being too high? One Child Policy?

    Now they’re already concerned about their birth rate being too low?

      The one-child policy was abolished in 2015, but birth rates have continued to decline after that. They currently have one of the world’s lowest fertility rates.

        Well yes, but also no. I think it was only really heavily policed in the 70s and early 80s then was lifted so regional and rural could have a second child (wiki says by '84 the single child policy only impacted 35% of the population). Still goes to show by forcibly dropping birthrates how much it destroys future planning

          Looking at all the other countries, it may not have had an impact on future birthrates at all.
