As to the Chinese birth rate, my information is that the rate in the major cities is 0.7 births per woman, but that may be because in the cities families live in fairly small apartments and the cost of having and raising children prevents families from having more children. The birth rate in the rural areas may be considerably higher, but China's population has already begun to decline. The difference could affect their society in the future.
