In major shift, China raises per-couple children limit to 3 from 2
CBS NEWS ^ | In major shift, China raises per-couple children limit to 3 from 2 MAY 31, 2021 / 7:01 AM

China has raised the number of children each couple can have to three from two. The move is a major bid to reverse the country's falling birth rate and turn around an aging population in the world's most populous nation.

China scrapped its longstanding one-child policy in 2016 in favor of a two-child limit, but that didn't spark a continued rise in births.

The one-child policy was started in 1979 to halt a population explosion.

They need to replace the population lost when the 3 Gorges dam collapses.

“to 3 from 2”

Who talks like that? Is it a translation thing?

It’s “from 2 to 3”.

This is good for us in the West. We need more young vigorous Chinese workers to fund our old age and retirement.

And ensure a steady supply of fresh kidneys.

question the timing.

the CCP mRNA texts which they sent out to docile
biopharma to have them make
the DNA operating systems [”vaccines”]
made of nanomaterials which went to the ovaries
of the fertile women and girls in other countries.

the world and CCP/Uniparty victims
will soon learn what happens next.

Gotta staff that military or replace the ones soon to be lost. Between Russia, China and Biden, we are threatened on all fronts.

It does remind me of "1984" in which, IIRC, the government announces that the chocolate ration has been increased from 30 grams a week to 20 grams.

There’s a problem with that. When an only child marries an only child, that results in four grandparents to take care of in their old age. Plus three children. Plus the wife needing to work to make ends meet.

Won’t happen. They are past the tipping point, unless the Party kills off the old people. Or at least does a better job than COVID has already done.

Yes. To 3 from 2 is equal to from 2 to 3.

Agreed. Also, how many young Chinese women want to have three babies?

The new norm is one or two throughout the developed world.

Raising children is EXPENSIVE!

More importantly this country has to use every incentive possible, particularly tax incentives or even direct cash payments to native born American couples to have more than 2 children. If we had just the children in this country killed by abortion we would not need any immigrants.

Right now we need to get people to marry, do so younger & have three or more children. That would allow us to eliminate or suspend immigration for a decade or more.

No one is having children. We desperately need more children.
