In 2022 China’s population declined from 1.413 billion, to 1.412 billion, a decline of a million. This is the first since a famine in the early 1960s. This time, however, the decline will continue for the rest of the century. Worse, 20% of China’s population is already over 65. By 2100, China’s population is expected to be about 800 million, a decline almost twice the current size of the U.S.
