Then just drop housing costs. Why go in this roundabout way when you can deflate the housing bubble like China's currently doing. Evergrande's collapse is the best thing to happen for Chinese TFR in decades.
It's being solved, it's just that sometimes people need help connecting the dots on the aims of Chinese government policy. Like ending the private tuition sector and popping the housing bubble.
China is too huge and diverse to make universal policies on the spot.
All these trials, pilots, special policies etc, are all because the CPC needs to be extremely careful so that it wont break anything unintentionally.
There is also the fact that, reformers, factions, interest groups, top leadership, needs to convince the rest that a policy they are pushing is helpful and will actually benefit the country. So they are given some pilot zones in order to prove that their policies can work before they start lobbying that their proposal works.
As you can probably guess, this is a complex matter. I say, let the process work out.
Also agree with another poster who said that Evergrande collapsing will probably be the best thing for TFR in decades.
Apparently they're rolling back abortions to mitigate their demographic problems. Could go for contraceptives next and increase pro-natal propaganda.
Do not be fooled by the name. The quoted account is a Western propaganda account from HRW. In actuality there has been no official change in China's policy on abortion, other than rumors:
That being said, there were 9.7 million abortions in China last year, compared to just 620,000 in the U.S. And while U.S. abortions have been falling for 30 years, China's are rising. At this rate, in 2021 abortions will overtake live births! Why are China's abortion rates so high? It's ridiculous. *If* China really took steps to reduce abortions from that stratospheric level it wouldn't be a bad thing at all. Not saying China should, but if it did ban abortion, based on those numbers it could almost solve the birthrate problem entirely.
If you think about it, the anglos are also worried about their own declining birth rates and I specifically said Anglo not Hispanic or black birth rates; this could be the reason why some American states are rolling back abortion because it tends to be white females who get abortions.
ideally, a woman in China should have babies first whilst she is at the height of her fertility, from 18-29, and being a mother to raise her children before pursuing university in her mature years.
Yet it appears the objections coming from women is that such restrictions in actuality, hamper their own hypergamous desires; they want to marry that rich med student or finance major after “having their fun”; China should not allow such westernised notions of sexual irresponsiblity to run amok

I'm aware of the twitter account's anti-China leanings. The fact that their documents are mentioning reducing abortion is still a very positive sign. That 10 million number is insane and China is the only country in the world with abortion on request with no gestational limit. Suicidal and brain dead policy by the Chinese government along with the one child policy that lasted for decades.

"National Health Commission data shows that between 2014 and 2018, there were an average of 9.7 million abortions per year, rising about 51 per cent from the 2009-2013 average, despite a relaxation of family planning policies in 2015."
Hell, its probably over 10 million by now if the trend continued.
