Already allowed two child policy back in 2016. Problem? not too many takers because it's expensive to bring up two kids in China. So their replacement rate is negative as many couples prefer not to have kids.



I think the opposite is the case. There was a database hack some time back and they found only a billion people in it. Children included. So their population is less than ours presently.


Japan had that before yet chose to make in China. So labour costs play a role because not everything can be automated.


Found it. The Americans did not pressure the Chinese to withdraw their bid. They pressured the Israelis to reject it. Emiratis withdrew as well as local bidders. That's how Adani got it.
