China's birth rate fell last year to its lowest level on record, official data showed, as its population shrank for a fourth straight year despite efforts to slow the decline. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/01/19/asia-pacific/society/china-birth-rate-lowest/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #asiapacific #society #china #population #children

This is a typo in the lede or the math is wrong, right? They forgot a decimal point, and turned 3.39 million into 339 million!

7.92 million births
minus 11.31 million deaths /
= decrease of 3.39 million

Otherwise, China went through something in 2025 equal to what Poland suffered in World War II + the Holocaust, and we all missed it

BEIJING — China’s population fell for a fourth consecutive year in 2025, dropping by 339 million to 1.405 billion, a faster decline than 2024, official data showed Monday.

The total number of births in China dropped to 7.92 million in 2025, its lowest in decades, from 9.54 million in 2024. The number of deaths rose to 11.31 million from 10.93 million in 2024, figures from China’s National Bureau of Statistics showed.

How can allopatric #speciation lead to the #radiation of #newspecies, and how can #research succeed in reconstructing such mechanisms? #Cryptic #complexes such as the #Hemiphyllodactylus #harterti-complex (#Gekkonidae) can be revealing.

Z. Hong et al. (2026) #phylogenetically identified two new species by using the #mitochondrialgene #ND2. The #ancestral #population of the complex is thought to have diverged in the Middle #Oligocene and radiated from there throughout #Malaysia.

#Trump’s Fight With #Minnesota Is About More Than #Immigration

The state embodies a #civic ideal that the admin wants to discredit.

There are plenty of obvious reasons #Minneapolis, despite ranking FAR DOWN the list of US cities in terms of its #immigrant #population, is the latest #Democratic-led urban area targeted by Trump’s punitive anti-immigration raids. There is #TimWalz, the governor & Trump’s 2024 rival.

China is rolling out its most wide-ranging push to boost a flagging birth rate, with official population data due on Jan. 19 set to show a fourth consecutive annual drop. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/01/16/asia-pacific/society/china-birth-boost-support/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #asiapacific #society #china #population #birthcontrol

If you take the past 75 years of world population data and paste it into Calc and tell it to find a 7th degree polynomial trend line and then paste that polynomial into Wolfram Alpha then it appears to have a root at 2037.
So, we can all stop worrying about the Unix clock problem. :-)

For the first time since World War II, there were more deaths than births, according to the national statistics institute Insee.
