China’s Population Increases Less Than Half a Million in 2021, Births Plunge Again as Crisis Deepens
South China Morning Post ^ | January 17, 2022 | Orange Wang

Mainland China’s population increased by less than half a million last year, and the number of births also dropped for the fifth consecutive year in 2021, data released on Monday showed.

China’s overall population increased by about 480,000 people – to 1.4126 billion in 2021, from 1.412 billion a year earlier, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) confirmed. The population includes China’s 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, as well as servicemen, but excludes foreigners. It does not include Hong Kong, Macau or Taiwan.

Chinese mothers gave birth to 10.62 million babies last year, an 11.5 per cent drop from 12 million in 2020, the NBS confirmed. The national birth rate fell to a record low of 7.52 births for every 1,000 people in 2021, from 8.52 in 2020.

The national death rate was 7.18 per thousand last year, putting the national growth rate at 0.34 per thousand.

All those old folks without kids to take care of them…all of those 25-30 year old men without any hope of marriage….none of this will end well.

By now its ingrained in Chinese culture to have only one kid if at all, because people don’t want to raise kids when their economy is going to collapse.

Its a viscous spiral China is entering.

Its a viscous spiral China is entering.

Nearly all OECD Nations, as well as China, have seen record low births in 2020, and even lower in 2021. Now many countries also face higher death rates starting in 2020, not only from covid, but from many other "unexplained" factors, such as suicide, drug overdose, accident, etc...

All the trends of materialism, feminism, central-planning, massive debt, abortion, etc... were already in place before Covid, but now a DEPOPULATION trend really seems to be taking hold.

The decline will start fairly soon. It’s a long way down from 1.4 billion to 750 million, but that’s pretty much baked in. Women over 40 won’t be having children, and there’s a lot of them.

Except in the Muslim world.

speaking of China...not only in UK!

16 Jan: Breitbart: London Metropolitan Police’s Asian Hate Crime Group Connected to Alleged Chinese Spy: Report
This week, the UK’s domestic security service, MI5, claimed that the founder of the British Chinese Project, Christine Lee had been attempting to gain influence within the House of Commons on behalf of the communist government in Beijing. Lee was also revealed to have contributed around £700,000 in political donations, the vast majority of which was funnelled to left-wing politicians in the Labour and Liberal Democrat parties...

Have you taken a look at birth rates in Islamic countries lately? They are not as bad as China or western countries yet, but the trend is there too.

It's pretty funny/ironic that China is the only country in the world that took Paul Ehrlich's book The Population Bomb seriously enough to implement the draconian policies he advocated. And, boy, are they going to pay a huge price for that.

Reminds me of Animal House. You effed up! You trusted us!

Shortage of women won’t be a problem. Chinese men will just go to nearby countries to find wives.

By 2030, China will be a nation dominated by grandpas and grandmas.
