Beijing’s National Bureau of Statistics announced Tuesday the first population decrease in decades for the most populous nation on earth, which will be overtaken by India within weeks.
There were around 850,000 fewer Chinese nationals registered domestically – not including Hong Kong or Macao – at the end of 2022 compared to a year earlier, although a US-based demography expert believes the real population decline began in 2018.
The Bureau’s report also showed that China’s economic growth fell to its second-lowest level in four decades last year.
