Chinese people react to news of population decline

Description

As Chinese authorities report that the country's population shrank last year for the first time in more than six decades, residents of Beijing and Shanghai give their views. Some see population decline as "inevitable" at a time when young people are increasingly choosing not to have children. The Chinese population stood at around 1,411,750,000 at the end of 2022, Beijing's National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) reported, a decrease of 850,000 from the end of the previous year.
