China's highly anticipated and much-delayed census finally arrived. And it is making China's officials nervous because it shows a definite downward trend for its population growth. In fact, China's recently announced that families can have three kids, which is a step up from two kids, which was a step up from only one child, which was China's policy from about 1979 to 2015.
China's population decline will affect everything - its pension and housing systems to its geopolitical relations with Europe and the U.S.
In this episode, we spoke with Professor Wang, who shared the brutal history of China's one-child policy and drew perspective for us... for what the future may look like.
