China records 1st recent population decline as births plunge
Breitbart ^ | 16 Jan 2023 | AP

The last time China is believed to have recorded a population decline was during the Great Leap Forward at the end of the 1950s, Mao Zedong’s disastrous drive for collective farming and industrialization that produced a massive famine killing tens of millions of people.

Also Tuesday, the bureau released data showing China’s economic growth fell to its second-lowest level in at least four decades last year under pressure from anti-virus controls and a real estate slump.

The world’s No. 2 economy grew by 3% in 2022, less than half of the previous year’s 8.1%, the data showed.

It’s not a birth decline. It’s a Covid induced decline.

But, perhaps that the plan.

That’s got to be putting a kink in their human organ sales business.

Abortion and ‘lie flat’ have nothing to do with it?

LOL!!! The earth's climate has been "changing" for 2 billion years. It is always "changing."

DON'T PLAY THEIR GAME. It's a hoax.

How do you propose doing that?

. . .and climate change is history.

Climate change has always been part of history. However, the histrionics associated with it are greatly exaggerated and mostly political.

A change in China's population will not stop the corporate media from using the climate change issue to exert control over people. Their lies will continue unabated regardless of what happens in China.

If they’re admitting to a decline now, then it has already existed for a while.

COVID and COVID vaxxes reduce fertility and kill those already borne. The birth rate drops are seen around the world. China's larger population just magnifies the effects.

Not to worry, the Mexican cartels are running a brisk business in trafficking for human organs.

They’ve already been sounding the alarm, as the one-child policy has created a shrinking, older population which would need to be cared for by a reduced population of young people.

Red China now is experiencing what Japan has been seeing for decades.

China is going to fall flat on her face soon. No soldiers, no people, older workers, or not so obedient slaves—not a good choice for them. Just as we thought Japan would rule the future—the Chinese are going to end up with disorder and death.

Economic Concerns arise due to China's falling population which could affect manufacturing, transport, shipping, and supply chain issues

(From the article):"The last time China is believed to have recorded a population decline was during the Great Leap Forward at the end of the 1950s,
Mao Zedong’s disastrous drive for collective farming and industrialization that produced a massive famine killing tens of millions of people."

"Also Tuesday, the bureau released data showing China’s economic growth fell to its second-lowest level in at least four decades last year under pressure from anti-virus controls and a real estate slump..
"The world’s No. 2 economy grew by 3% in 2022, less than half of the previous year’s 8.1%, the data showed."
