China will discourage abortions and take steps to make fertility treatment more accessible as part of efforts to boost one of the world’s lowest birth rates, its National Health Authority said on Tuesday.

Support measures from taxation and insurance to education and housing would be improved and implemented, with local governments encouraged to boost infant care services and family friendly workplaces, according to guidelines published on the authority’s website.

The authority said it would carry out reproductive health promotion to enhance public awareness while "preventing unintended pregnancy and reducing abortions that are not medically necessary".

Some people think it’s too late for China to pull out of its population death spiral.

Maybe the one child policy wasn’t such a good idea.

Culturally Chinese people want fewer kids now. They might need new revolution to convince people to start having more kids

They will use the credit social system to award or take away points based on how many kids you have.

It only takes two generations to turn 1.4 billion people into 300 million.

Not only have they orchestrated the population death spiral with their policies, they pretty much finished it up with the sterilization jab.

Never mind abortions.....ain’t nobody gonna need one, thanks to the jab.

That would leave the People’s Republic with a distorted population: too few youths, too few women and too many elderly. https://time.com/4092497/why-china-needs-more-children/

Yep, that one child policy seems to have worked too well, as far as the long term ramifications of it.

When they enforced the one child policy, many preferred for that one child to be a boy. There’s a sex ratio imbalance in China today because of that.

Yeah. Having and raising children is a cultural thing. Still alive in America (barely), but that’s gone in China and I’m not sure they can pull off what Hungary did.

And since China is a totalitarian system, they could get to forced births. Maybe there will be forced marriages, and then the social credit score used in China, will give people bonus points for having children. And also, demerits for not having children.

Maybe they will restrict or ban birth control pills and other methods. Since they are totalitarian, they would have access to records showing if a woman takes the pill, as an example. And then pressure women to have children for the greater good of Chairman Mao’s People’s Republic.

[ Some people think it’s too late for China to pull out of its population death spiral. ]

All china needs to do is allow multiple children per couple if the people are living in “colonial” areas.
