Nation to Advance Fertility-Friendly Push!

China: Nation to Advance Fertility-Friendly Push! (15.9.2026)

With more than 10 million students enrolling in colleges and universities each year amid a boom in the higher education sector, China is building an expanding and highly skilled workforce, Lei said.

Official data shows that, by the end of 2025, China had about 851.36 million people ages 16 to 59, and that group had an average of 11.3 years of schooling, up 0.1 year from a year earlier.

Lei added that the annual number of newborns has remained at about 8 million despite an overall downward trend.

“Compared with other developed and developing countries, very few have births at this level, so China will still have a relatively ample labour force in the future,” he said.

Lei noted that China will continue to roll out fertility-friendly measures to ease the burden of childbirth, child-rearing and education.

Among the latest fertility support policies are the rollout of a fertility subsidy, which has so far benefited more than 30 million families, and the establishment of nearly 12,600 early pregnancy care clinics nationwide, providing counselling and assessments.

China: Central Government has Final say on Reincarnation of Dalai Lama! (6.8.2025)

The reincarnation of living Buddhas follows strict religious rituals and historical conventions, and the legitimacy of the title of the Dalai Lama in fact originates from the central government, Gama Cedain, chairman of Xizang, said during a news conference held by the State Council Information Office on the region’s economic and social development achievements since it was established 60 years ago.

On several occasions in the past, the 14th Dalai Lama has said he might reincarnate while still alive. At other times, he has said he will personally choose his successor.

In July, he released the so-called “Statement Affirming the Continuation of the Institution of Dalai Lama”, personally appointing a trust to recognize the future reincarnation.

“Reincarnation has never been solely determined by the Dalai Lama himself,” Gama Cedain said. “The reincarnation of the Dalai Lama must strictly follow the principle of ‘carrying out the search domestically, drawing lots from a golden urn, and gaining approval from the central government’, while complying with the country’s laws and regulations.”

State Council Information Office: Report on Human Rights Violations in the United States! (7.6.2024)

According to a 2022 report by InSight Crime, the flow of illegal guns from the U.S. into the Caribbean has led to a rising murder rate in the region.

According to a survey report released on the website of the Pew Research Center on June 28, 2023, gun violence is widely recognized as a major and growing national problem, with 58 percent of respondents in favour of stricter gun control laws and more than 60 percent of American adults believing that gun violence is a major national problem in the U.S. today.

However, American politicians ignore the international community and the public call for gun control, only for money and political self-interest, so that the proliferation of guns in the country cannot be effectively controlled.
