Big picture: China's births might hit a record low this year, deepening its demographic crisis. Academics admit births could fall to 7 million, with profound implications for the world's second-largest economy.
By the numbers:
* Estimated births in 2023: 6 million to 8 million.
* Drop in births over the past five
Chinese researchers have created artificial wombs to grow humans in. Births might be falling now, but the baby factories are being built today.
Jokes on the CCP, who is going to spend the cash to raise them?
Not to mention we saw this play out in Soviet Romania, and it was a shit show for that government in terms of political stability
