Sounds like I spoke too soon.
The Chinese are being asked to look at INCREASING kids per family to 3 to compete WITH USA as US is gaining heaps of workers via immigration? Wonders never cease. Sounds like the Chinese have not heard of "barren males" YET! Maybe they do and have come up with a solution? Yes folks, the paper is published by the People's Bank of China - they know heaps about procreation, it seems!
"China must “fully liberalize” its birth-control policy to increase its labor force in the upcoming decades and compete with such countries as the US economically, a paper published by the People's Bank of China says.
Beijing should pay close attention to the fact that the country's birth rate is declining, while its population is aging fast, the researchers argued. Theresearch, which was published this week by China's central bank as part of its working paper series, suggests that the country's main economic rival, the US, is undergoing"favorable changes"in working population rates, largely through mass immigration.
Based on statistics and forecasts by the United Nations – which might even overestimate China's fertility rate, according to the researchers – the report suggests that in the next three decades, China's population will decrease by some 32 million people. At the same time, US may add 50 million people to its population by 2050."
for what westerner would want to move there...?
