Just days after the free Chinese of Taiwan voted against mainland Communist Chinese domination in Saturday's presidential election, we learn that the women of Xi Jinping's People's Republic continue to express a similar sentiment with the only tool left at their disposal.
Their uteri.
According to official figures released on Wednesday, Chinese women had fewer than half the births in 2023 than they did in 2016 — the year Beijing finally repealed that slow-rolling disaster known as the One-Child Policy. "Have more babies," Xi effectively told his people. "In this country? Are you kidding me?" replied the women of China.
As the Wall Street Journal put it, "The number of newborns has gone into free fall over the past several years," as births in Communist mainland China dropped "by more than 500,000 last year to just over 9 million in total." That puts the People's Republic fertility rate nearly at 1.0, or about half of the 2.1 required just to keep the population from shrinking.
You can skip this next paragraph and go right to the TL;DR (TOO LONG; DIDN'T READ) if you like.
Communist China's overall population began shrinking in 2022, but the working-age population has been shrinking since 2017. That's a problem for a country whose median age is already nearly 40 years old and projected to quickly rise. It's an even bigger problem for a country with a growing elderly population, not much of a social safety net, and a pressing economic need to shift from an export model of economic growth to a domestic consumption model.
TL;DR: China is losing working-age producers faster than it is creating retirement-age consumers at a time when the rest of the world is growing sick of buying export goods from a bully.

South Korea, Japan, Western Europe, heck, even Taiwan have their women voting with their uteri....
China would fall apart at thee seams without communism ,LOL
The birthrate in France declined 6.6 percent last year as well.
The Men of China are voting with their hands would be a better explanation of this matter I think that has much more to do with the declining birth rate.
Onanian Syndrome for sure.
This is the year of the dragon and a big goal of Chinese woman is to have a dragon baby. I expect a jump in the birth rate this year.
So are they going to resolve this by importing labor? Forcing women to have babies? What?
They get to vote?
Do their votes get counted?
Not too many years ago the Chinese Army found young male recruits were masturbating frequently.
I rest my case.
Chinas decline is exceptional.
They also have an unusually large elderly population that makes it especially disastrous.
The real reason Chinese and Russian women are not giving birth anymore is that their respective countries are run by mad NeoSoviet and/or Communist deep-state warmongers. These two countries are like prisons and they are fueling non-stop wars.
(China’s attack on Taiwan is next). Freedom of expression and privacy is banned there. WHO wants to have kids in such disastrous hell-holes where everyone feel there is no prospect for a happy future?
Ever wonder why uterus is a masculine noun?
Lots of inexplicables in Latin gender. I had some 4 years of Latin and I have no idea why. You would think someone would have changed it in all those centuries.
I don’t smoke that dope.
The men of this world are putting their hands in the wrong places not to mention their you know what’s.
At the end of the day the American men and the Russian men and Japanese men and the Chinese men, the Iranian men and the Israeli men all go to Bangkok in Thailand not to mention Phuket.
Phuket, lol.
And the US.
China is still expanding its labor force.
China has about a fourth of workers in agriculture, while the US has only a tenth. So China can continue to source urban workforce from the countryside by making its agricultural sector more efficient, even though it is down from 50% agricultural a couple decades ago.
Secondly, China has a lot of workers who are older and whose education is poor relative to current graduates. Therefore, as relatively uneducated workers are replaced by better educated ones, the productivity of the workforce increases.
Word of the day: Uteri. Did it ever make Pee Wee’s Playhouse?
And American men are voting for Haley with their Penii.
Yes sadly much of western (socialized democracy) does the same.
But the Amish and the Evangelicals are doing their part!!
China is still expanding its labor force.
Oh. Okay. So they’ll be fine.
The key there being 'every developed country'....
