Three-child policy: China lifts cap on births per family

13 Sept 11:44 Key points summarised by AI

China has implemented a new three-child policy, replacing the previous two-child limit, in a significant shift aimed at boosting declining birth rates.
This policy change directly addresses the dramatic decline in births and the rapid aging of China's population, as revealed by recent census data.
While the government promises supportive measures, public skepticism remains high, with many citizens citing the prohibitive costs of raising children as the main barrier, rather than the number of permitted births.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
