Census shows China producing too few babies, it's paying for one-child diktat. And 4 Covid variants

#CutTheClutter #OneChildPolicyInChina #CovidVariants
In episode 745 of #CutTheClutter, Shekhar Gupta tells you about China's census showing the number of babies born in 2020 was the lowest since 1961, and unintended outcomes of the country's flawed one-child policy. He also explains the 4 Covid strains that are currently considered as "variants of interest" worldwide.
Correction: India's longest border is with Bangladesh, not China. Error regretted.
Correction: The correct figure is 1.2 crores, not 12 crores. Error regretted.
