China population: 2023 births could plunge by a quarter from record low set last year, academic warns
China population: 2023 births could plunge by a quarter from record low set last year, academic warns
After demographic alarms went off when Chinese mothers had fewer than 10 million children, how critical will the situation become if only 7 million are born this year?
You're viewing a single thread.
It will be just a matter of time until their goverment makes "producing" children mandatory because it will be declared a matter of national security. Or more like, a matter of the Communist Party's security.
Its not children the CCP wants, there are tons of families in China producing children.
Unfortunately they're not Han children :(
The only conversion therapy China is interested in. You will be Han, and you will like it!
Ah yes, the country that had for decades exempted minorities from the one child policy only wants Han children. Where do you people get this from?

Let me guess, every single media source in the world is lying and the CCP is the only one telling the truth.
Your government are basically modern nazis, except their Aryan race is Han Chinese.
AP news article
Cites as source Adrian Zenz, an evangelical Christian on a mission from god to fight the godless communists, who writes non-peer-reviewed articles and is funded by the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, which itself is funded by the US government, and which officially counts Nazi soldiers killed on the eastern front during WW2 as victims of communism.
Adrian Zenz co-authored a book on biblical numerology, trying to find hidden codes in the bible to decipher when the apocalypse is going to occur: Worthy to Escape: Why All Believers Will Not Be Raptured Before the Tribulation
He's a total clown and his "data analysis" on birth control in Xinjiang has been debunked for being blatant misinterpretation of statistics.
More insane shit about Zenz is collected here: https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Adrian_Zenz
They also interview a woman who will be fined for having a third child, which was the law for every woman in China at the time.
That shitty article even backs my point:
For decades, China had one of the most extensive systems of minority entitlements in the world, with Uighurs and others getting more points on college entrance exams, hiring quotas for government posts and laxer birth control restrictions. Under China’s now-abandoned ‘one child’ policy, the authorities had long encouraged, often forced, contraceptives, sterilization and abortion on Han Chinese. But minorities were allowed two children — three if they came from the countryside.
Choice quote to underline the bias of this article:
State-backed scholars have warned for years that large rural religious families were at the root of bombings, knifings and other attacks the Xinjiang government blamed on Islamic terrorists.
Are they insinuating that these were not carried out by Islamist terrorists? Who did that then and why?
BBC article
Again based on a report by Adrian Zenz, see above. First sentence:
The report, by China scholar Adrian Zenz, has prompted international calls for the United Nations to investigate.
Aljazeera article
Is literally just reporting on the AP news article above. They have a link to it and everything.
I think saying "your government" is too mean towards the commenter. They might not work for that government and the people of that country are hostages so maybe they're just someone elsewhere with misinformed knowledge currently? Otherwise an informative post
Your point is fair, I just met many mainland Chinese, and while some buy in, most tend to take a "yes the government is evil, but what can you do?" Approach.
I tend to take defenders as either paid or unpaid collaborators because I consider it a safe assumption, but I am taking liberties.
If Romania is anything to go by it would flop horribly
