The Hope of the Country with a Large Population

The book explores China's shifting demographic landscape, particularly its transition from the world's most populous nation to a secondary position to India by 2030. This change reflects a broader strategy aimed at managing population growth through a "Three-Stage" development plan. It emphasizes the importance of moving from high birth and death rates to a sustainable low fertility level. The narrative connects population dynamics to China's aspirations for national rejuvenation, arguing that understanding these changes is crucial for addressing future challenges in resources, economy, and society.
