What are China’s policies on abortion and birth control?

As they have a totalitarian government, President Xi and his boys can implement policies to deter abortion and birth control, and encourage marriage, if they wanted to do so.

I understand they abandoned the 1 child policy. But how to turn around people’s attitudes about children and family, is a tough situation for them.

They have implemented standard "progressive" policies we would all recognize - tax breaks for more kids, subsidies for child education, etc. etc.. And on the other hand, just like our own progs, the nature of their system includes 1000 other contradictory schemes which limit family formation, from massive debt, to inflation, to housing bubbles, to government cronyism, to an atheistic/materialist outlook.

The CCP also thinks it will easily overcome a declining population with technology and automation.

But you may be correct - I would not be surprised if they start restricting abortions in the near future.
