I don’t believe it. One child policy was always mostly a sham. I engaged in trade with some family-owned businesses in late 1990s and mentioned that big families at least in northern China were a norm. By big families I mean 3+ children. They usually had older male kid officially and the rest undocumented.

Yeh, their biggest problem is their out of whack boy:girl birthdate ratio. It’s been about 100 boys : 80 girls for years. Consequently, young Chinese men are wife shop in neighboring countries. Will be interesting to see how this plays out in coming years....

The article presumes the fallacy that the population number is known with the accuracy to juggle the numbers as is done by the author

A few hundred million here, a few hundred million there, pretty soon you’re talking big population.

If that's true, it means that China's productivity and per capita income is much higher than currently stated.

What they have is a rapidly aging population and the biggest economic slowdown since 1992. Sadly they got old before they got rich. 😆

The provinces lie about everything else. In the old days it was about rice production, now its about economic growth and debt. Why wouldn’t they lie about births and population?
