CHINA-INTERNAL: POPULATION
According to the National Bureau of Statistics, there were 17.23 million babies born in China in 2017, a drop of 630,000 from a year earlier. That is a lot less than China’s National Commission of Health and Family Planning had expected, having estimated that the new two-child policy would push the number of births to more than a 20 million last year, even in a “low-birth scenario”.
