[See China December 12, 2021](See a comprehensive report by Chinese reporter Li Xiaokui) A recent appealCPC memberTake the leadThree kids‘S review articles were popular on the Internet and caused controversy. The related article has been removed.
According to Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post, this article is entitled<落实三孩政策 党员干部应见行动>The review article of “was originally published on the China Report Network on December 9, and the related Weibo hits reached 5.7 million times. But the weird thing is that by 2 o’clock in the morning on the 11th, the number of hits on related topics dropped to 98,000.
In addition, as of 2 o’clock in the morning on December 12, mainland media including Tencent.com, Sohu.com, and Phoenix.com have all taken down relevant articles.
The article stated that although there are many subjective and objective reasons for China’s negative population growth, such as difficulty in going to school, expensive school, difficult medical treatment, and expensive medical treatment, every party member and cadre “can’t not get married, have no children, and also because of such or other subjective and objective reasons. You cannot have only one or two children for one or other reasons.”

I don’t know who is selfish… ..”

Many netizens also complained, “Which is rich if you cut your salary while calling you a third child! If you are in communism, why is it not raised by the state?” “Congratulations to the party members. “A victory”, “It is estimated that I will soon be caring for unmarried young women, not having three children and forcibly collecting social support payments.”, “At the beginning of the family planning, there was a forced ligation, so I was afraid that you would be forced to fertilize you if you didn’t have three children later. “, “It feels like people are no longer people.”
According to the South China Morning Post, the number of births in China has dropped sharply in recent years. Earlier this year, the government allowed all couples to have three children. In order to encourage childbirth, various localities have successively introduced supporting policies, but the prospects for China’s population growth are still not optimistic.
According to the “2020 National Names Report” issued by the Ministry of Public Security’s Household Administration Research Center in February this year, China has only 10,035 million newborns registered in 2020, a drop of more than 1.7 million from 2019. According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the annual number of births in China was 14.65 million in 2019; 15.23 million in 2018; 17.23 million in 2017; 17.86 million in 2016.
Dr. Yi Fuxian, a population expert and the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, pointed out at the “Reuters Next” forum recently held by Reuters that the Chinese Communist government prides itself on its 1.4 billion population, but with the development of society, it has begun to face challenges in recent years. Due to the declining birth rate, it is estimated that China’s actual population in 2020 should be only 1.28 billion.
He also pointed out that China’s population has been declining since 2018, but local governments have exaggerated the population to obtain more subsidies, including the central government’s funding for education. He added that there are more than 20 social benefits related to birth registration in China, so certain families will use the online black market to purchase additional birth certificates. The inflated population figures are mainly for economic benefits.
According to official Chinese data, China’s fertility rate in 2020 is an average of 1.3 children per woman, which is far below the standard population replacement rate of 2.1.
