This is one of the most interesting articles I’ve read lately.
“But a legacy of the one-child policy, scrapped in 2016, is a dwindling number of women of childbearing age as well as a generation of only children who are less eager to marry and start a family.”

“Shandong province is known in China for sometimes extreme enforcement of birth restrictions, including a 1991 campaign in parts of the city of Liaocheng dubbed “Hundred Days, No Child.” A 2012 documentary by Hong Kong-based Phoenix Television…”
“…details how local officials, to make their birth data look better, forced women found to be pregnant to abortion centers, even if the baby was their first and allowed under the one-child policy.”
So basically you have a generation of women who were told by their communist govt to marry later, only have one child (preferably a boy), potential forced birth control or abortions, and now the Chinese Communist Party is caught flat footed by low fertility rates…
Just a reminder that we shouldn’t be surprised by the forced abortions in #xinjiang because the CCP has been terrorizing their women of child bearing age for 40 years.
