These are actually interesting numbers. I do not doubt them and -0.99 pop growth per 1000 is “not great not terrible”. Upon searching I stumbled upon a world bank statistic claiming that China has had a -0.1 growth rate in 2023 but I assume they are calculating per 100 and just rounded -0.99 / 1000 to -0.1 / 100.
Now there are some developed countries that did worse than China (ahem Germany, Poland, Japan - I leave Russia and Ukraine out of this since both are actively decimating their population) but there are also a lot of developed countries who did better: Australia with 2.4, Czechia with 1.8, Spain with 1.2, …
Two numbers I also want to mention are the US with 0.5 and the EU as a whole with 0.2. So China is not far away from the West although both are still growing whilst China is still shrinking but the trend is your friend. It would interest me if migration has already been included (I’d say yes) because that usually benefits the growth rate of the US and EU (and is something both are actively fucking up as we speak thanks to conservative ultranationalists).
I don’t see anything wrong with your numbers. China just started implementing the policies, and you wouldn’t expect a huge change to happen in a single year. However, it does look like there is a measurable effect already.
China has problems just like any country, the workaholic culture is not as conductive towards having kids as some countries in Europe. The problem certainly doesn’t appear to be worse than in most counties, and unlike a lot of countries the government is actually doing something about it. I still don’t see why you point this as an issue that should make me dislike China.
You have this one photo, onto which you project a lifetime of cold war propaganda.
It may surprise you to learn that tank man was standing in the way of tanks leaving the square and going back to base. After climbing on to the tank and talking with the crew, he eventually left the area with some other civilians.
Video of exactly that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qq8zFLIftGk
Go look up the video to find out how this ends, then go look up how it ended for people standing in front of cop cars during George Floyd protests for comparison. That’s not the funny part though, the hilarious bit is that the guy was protesting the tanks leaving because he was against the color revolution you chuds were trying to run in China. Try harder shitlib.
Libs malding that people living in China don’t actually talk about their pet fantasies. 🤡
I get the feeling that you like China a lot.
I do like China a lot, what reason would I have to dislike China?
China has high costs for raising a child… Apparently only 2nd to Samsung™ Korea.

And they’ve been addressing that with positive results being seen this year

In case I messed up the numbers or anything else lemme know - it’s 5:30 am CET and I am extremely tired but the numbers sparked my interest. ^^

I fully agree. It’s good to see they are addressing the issue and as you say the effects are long time.

Link the video coward.
I just posted it so it gets censored in China.
You just posted it because you’re a chud who’s mad that your color revolution failed and China wasn’t destroyed the way USSR was. Get fucked shitbag.
Look up the red cross death toll estimate coward
How many police officers were killed?

You know there’s a video that shows what happened after that frame. Didja know that son?
I’ve had him tagged as “I really, really, really love China” for over a year
I love living rent free in the heads of lemmy radlibs.
I tagged it so I don’t have to remember it :)
The fact that you felt like you needed to remember underscores my point. :)

The fact that you felt the need to write that comment is adorable.
