BEIJING – China undercounted the number of children born in 2000 to 2010 by at least 11.6 million – equivalent to Belgium’s current population – partly because of its stringent one-child policy.
The latest statistical yearbook released by the government puts the number of children born during that period at 172Ā½Ā million, well above the 160.9 million in that age group recorded in the 2010 census.
The difference could be the result of some parents failing to register births to avoid punishment if they breached the one-child policy.
China only startedĀ allowing all couples to have a second child in 2016,Ā meaning some parents would not officially report a newborn if they were over the quota until the child turned six and needed to register for school, according to independent demographer He Yafu.
About 57 per cent of the children later registered were girls, indicating the discrepancy could be partly linked to parents not reporting girls so they could continue to try for a boy.
In addition, the 2010 census was conducted on Nov 1, 2010, so it would have missed births in the last two months of the year. Census surveys also typically do not include people who have died or emigrated in the intervening years.
The revisions show how hard it is to accurately count the number of people in the world’s most populous country.
Birthrates for the years 2011 to 2017 were also revised upwards in the latest statistical yearbook, suggesting the problem of undercounting the number of children likely continued after 2010.
However, with China now effectively abandoning limits on family size, there could be less of a discrepancy in future.
While the cap for most families is currently set at three children, there are no penalties for exceeding it.
Nevertheless, the number of births is expected to continue declining in China, and theĀ total population could start shrinking as early as this year.

Tang Wei Nude Sex Scene From āLust, Cautionā Enhanced
Chinese actress Tang Weiās (in)famous graphic nude sex scenes from the film āLust, Cautionā have just been color-corrected and enhanced in the video below.
They say that with the US election of Beijing Biden as President, China is surely going to conquer the world, but after seeing this Tang Wei sex scene I highly doubt itā¦ For Tangās Chinese Communist Party official male co-star can not even decide if he wants to bang her or do yoga with herā¦ Add to that the Chineseās legendarily tiny manhoods, and it is clear that they lack the sexual expertise required to be the worldās sole hegemony.
Of course after this film Tang would fittingly go on to get her slanted sin slit stretched by homofag round eye actor Chris Hemsworth in the movie āBlackhatā. An apropos analogy for the state of the world today, as Chinese subjugation to the Western powers remains as prominent as ever.
