It's only been five/six years since it was upgraded to two child. I gain the distinct impression that it's not working.

The cultural expectation of one child has been set, heavily urbanized societies have less kids, actions have consequences, and time waits for no man. Dread it, run from it, Aging arrives all the same.
I got the feeling it won't be long before they upgrade to four child.

I don't know if the CCP did some bribes or pressures at the AFP offices in Hong Kong but they said that skyscraper wobbling in Shenzhen is a old video.

A video has circulated on Twitter, YouTube and Facebook alongside a claim it was filmed inside a wobbling Chinese skyscraper that was evacuated in 2021. The claim is false: the video, which has circulated online since 2018, shows a different building in China.​

The video was shared here on Twitter on May 22, 2021. It has been viewed more than 11,000 times.
The video’s simplified Chinese-language caption translates to English as: “The clubhouse swimming pool in Shenzhen SEG Plaza. The shaking of the building caused the water to spill out. No one dared to enter, it will collapse sooner or later.”

The misleading post circulated online after a wobbling skyscraper in the southern city of Shenzhen was evacuated on May 18, 2021. AFP reported on the incident at SEG Plaza here.
An identical video was also posted alongside a similar claim here, here and here on Twitter; here on YouTube; and here, here and here on Facebook.
The video, however, has been shared in a false context.

Maybe if they uncapped the limit the poeple actually left in the countryside would make enough babies to solve their problem, seeing as they're the only part of the population that has a practical use for all the extra mouth's.

It's too damn fucking late, China. You've already doomed yourself. The one-child policy was way too effective and most young people these days have other options for themselves besides starting families, and the ones that actually want them can't afford them, or at the very least, don't trust themselves to be good parents.

But hey, I heard muslims breed like rabbits. Oh, wait-
 
Well there's Russia and our Pro-PRC youtuber friend CaptainCool says this:

The thing about Russia is that everyone in Washington is so stuck in the Cold War they have no idea of the threat China is. Not only that, but Russia is just dealing with the grip Putin has on their politics.

The Russians and Chinese are in a similar boat in a lot of respects.
Russia has a similar aging problem to China, except perhaps hitting a bit sooner. The available manpower of the Red Army will have shrunk from around half of what it was in 2014 by around the mid 2020s.

Alongside that, while Russia's demographics appear to be recovering, knowing Russian statistics those may be unreliable, the growth is unevenly dispersed; native Russians are declining, the Russian various Turkic minorites are growing, the Russians will be a minority in their country by 2050-70 according to those trends if I recall (If you trust the figures we have of course)

Strategically, the USSR was so powerful because the Russians managed to secure various geographical chokepoints (gaps in seas, mountain ranges) in the closing days of WWII, and either incorporated or held them under a puppet countries. With these chokepoints you can focus more men in smaller gaps. The breakup of the USSR cost the Russians most of these chokepoints and NATO snuck up to a few hundred kilometers from Moscow.

You can interpret Russia's recent moves as attempts to reestablish these barriers and buffers, a smart plan if your manpower is shrinking, concentrate them in chokepoints. The Georgian war and maybe that other conflict there can be seen as securing a gap. The Ukrainian mess is another.

Say what you will about Washington's constant addiction to beating the Russia bell (and believe me I'm fucking tired of it too) these are probably the reasons they use to justify it.

China has better natural borders that it doesn't need to secure for protection like Russia; the sea on one side, mountains to the south, desert to the north and the west. The only real geographical challenge is the islands along the Chinese sea front, but the sea protects both sides from invasion. Maybe Western thinkers think the important issue is checking Russia now until Russian strength has diminished, then focus on China, but we shall see on that front.

We've been lucky then China and the Soviets didn't pushed further in border conflict. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Soviet_border_conflict

Today marks the anniversary of the political turmoil between the spring and summer of 1989, when some counterrevolutionaries in Beijing got a little too rowdy and had to be re-convinced of the benefits in socialism with Chinese characteristics. Anyway, did you know that job policies in Xinjiang put people first?
