China to allow three-child families as birth rate declines sharply – BBC News
The authorities in China have announced that couples will be allowed to have up to three children, raising the limit from two.
It follows census figures showing a steep decline in the birth rate.
Five years ago, the Chinese Communist Party finally abandoned its one child policy, which had begun in 1976. At the time there were fears of uncontrolled population growth.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

China needs to stop trying to control their population. Just let it ride. If they focus on fixing unemployment of 17 to 30 year olds and homelessness of the elderly. More people would be in a better financial position and mental state to have children. Families would be able to take in their elderly parents who can double as baby sitters and help young couples with house work. Less stress and burden means better mood, more sex and more babies.

.It is already impossible for the US to contain China's economic development. The United States chose to contain China's economic development, that is totally wrong! It was very stupid! Because China's rise is inevitable! If China is not the largest economy in 10 years, it will be in 15 years at the latest. At that time, the United States was the second largest economy in the world. If the US had not curbed India's economic development, in another 20 years, after 2050, India's total economy would have surpassed that of the US, and India would have become the second largest economy in the world, while the US would have become the third largest economy in the world. When the United States from the largest economy to the second largest economy, many countries will still listen to the United States, but when the United States from the second largest economy to the third largest economy, then, how many countries will listen to the United States? Therefore, the right thing for us to do is to contain India's economic development, not China's! When India's GDP exceeds $6 trillion, or its per capita GDP exceeds $5,000, India's economy will show explosive growth, and so will its science and technology and military. It will take less than 10 years. If the US had not contain India's economic, technological and military development before then, Then India's economic, technological and military development would have exploded in 10 years! In 10 years, when India's total GDP exceeds $6 trillion, or when India's per capita GDP exceeds $5000, the US will not be able to contain India's economic development! In another 20 years, India will surpass US in GDP! In the United States, there are People of Indian descent in high government offices, in Silicon Valley technology companies, in universities, in the financial elite on Wall Street. Indians are also good at English, computer programming, intelligence gathering and controlling the US by controlling the Indian Ocean.

They aren't having kids because they can't afford it, everyone knows this. China averages 30 million abortions a year. That and it has to import a third of its food. Drop in Uygher birthrates, yeah, well they take away the mother or father once they have two or three children, that's not hidden either.

When they say they can't afford it, means they don't have enough money to let the children learn piano, violin, swimming, ballet, second language, advanced maths… ( and yes, that’s for one child) all need private tutors. The truth is Chinese have super high hope for their children , they can’t accept their children to be ordinary… to be honest, not many families can afford so many tutors for their children in any countries, so they choose have more children with no tutors, but Chinese choose have less children and tutors…

If 2 child policy didn’t work what makes the govt think 3 will work?
@eugenegm
December 25, 2023 at 8:14 am
Clearly the people setting the one child policy had no idea about how population growth works. The policy favored couples having male offspring, and so millions of women were never born, leading to a surplus of men in the millions who will be unable to find spouses of the opposite sex.

I love how they say "allowed" lol.. Anyone could have 3-4-5 kids in china, prior to this.
They just had to pay a fee, to disinsentivize more than 2 kids.
Nowhere was it "forbidden" to have more than 2 kids.
But hey, they always wanna use every tiny way they can to make China seem like a prison.
