From the International Business Times:
"China has undergone a birth rate below the replacement level of 2.1 for 20 years
straight. Its population will no doubt start to decrease in 10 years, even if the
one-child policy is further relaxed immediately," Wang Feng, a demographer with the
University of California, Irvine, and a guest professor at Fudan University, told
the South China Morning Post of Hong Kong Wednesday.
