China’s Population in Catastrophic Freefall: Record-Low Births, Skyrocketing Deaths, and a Fully Vaccinated Nation Facing Existential Collapse
China is experiencing one of the most dramatic demographic implosions in modern history.
The scale is breathtaking.
According to the National Bureau of Statistics, the country’s population shrank by 3.39 million in 2025 alone, dropping to roughly 1.405 billion.
This marks the fourth consecutive year of outright decline.
Births collapsed to an astonishing low of 7.92 million, a brutal 17% drop from the already dismal 9.54 million recorded in 2024.
The birth rate has plunged to 5.63 per 1,000 people, the lowest figure since national records began in 1949.

At the same time, deaths surged to 11.31 million, pushing the death rate to 8.04 per 1,000, the highest level seen since 1968.
Demographers are sounding the alarm: annual births in 2025 are comparable to numbers recorded centuries ago when China’s total population was only a fraction of what it is today.
The fertility rate sits at roughly 1 birth per woman, nowhere near the 2.1 replacement level required to maintain a stable population.
While long-term factors such as the legacy of the one-child policy, exorbitant housing and education costs, delayed marriage, and changing cultural attitudes toward family life have contributed to the trend, the timing and severity of the acceleration have raised urgent questions.

China deployed one of the most aggressive and widespread COVID-19 vaccination campaigns on Earth, achieving over 90% coverage primarily with inactivated vaccines Sinovac and Sinopharm.
Reports and growing discussion now point to a disturbing pattern: widespread reports of sudden deaths from heart attacks, strokes, blood clots, and aggressive “turbo cancers” among previously healthy, younger adults, alongside a steep and persistent crash in fertility and birth rates in the post-vaccination era.
The convergence is chilling.
A nation once celebrated for its demographic strength now confronts a rapidly aging society (those over 60 already exceed 23% of the population), a shrinking workforce, collapsing pension and healthcare systems, and mounting economic pressure that could undermine its global position for generations.
