#WR: Communist planning human births. The Editorial of @WSJ titled "Xi Jinping's Achilles Heel" says "China birth dearth is becoming more acute as its populations age." Beijing likes to plan everything, but like we see for this Editorial, its interference in the Chinese homes has now negative consequences.
The Editorial adds "Though the population grew a little last year—to 1.412 billion in 2020 from 1.4 billion—the more salient fact is that its population continues to gray as Chinese women are having fewer babies. The proportion of people 60 or older increased to 18.7% of the population (from 13.3% in 2010), even as it recorded the lowest number of annual births (12 million) since 1961."
