China's population decline..!? After 60 years, Historical event..!?

After the corona epidemic, there is a huge debate about the population around the world, especially in Japan, Elon Musk warned about the continued decline of the population in economic and commercial terms. Due to this, india is expected to occupy first place in the list of most populous countries in the world in 2023.
China, which is the most populous country in the world and the 2nd largest economy in the world, will have its population in 2022 for the first time since 1961. China's population is 1.41260 billion in 2021, but by the end of 2022, china will have only 1.41175 billion people, according to the country's state-run National Statistics Institute.
In 2021, china had a birth rate of 7.52 births per 1000 people, and in 2022, the rate dropped to 6.77. Not only this, the birth rate of 6.77 is the lowest in Chinese history, while the death rate in china has reached its highest level since 1976. The death rate rose from 7.18 per 1000 people in 2021 to 7.37 in 2022.
Not only has the one-child program been implemented in china from 1980 to 2015, but it has also registered a huge change in the mindset of the people. Meanwhile, education costs in china have skyrocketed. Even after the Chinese government scrapped the one-child program in 2015, parents have shifted to a one-child-or-no-child mentality.
Meanwhile, the coronavirus outbreak in china has had a major impact on medical services. During this period, pregnant women struggled due to a lack of adequate medical facilities.Not only this, the information that if you get the Covid vaccine, you will not be able to have a child in the next 6 months to 1 year, the Chinese young generation was very scared. Because of this, they had to go to work and postponed their plans to get vaccinated and have a baby. But it is noteworthy that the government later explained that this information is false. As measures to encourage people to have more children than one, state governments in china are trying to announce various programs including tax exemptions, long maternity leave, and housing subsidies from 2021. Experts say these measures will not immediately change the long-term trend.
