Beijing has offered, starting from the end of May, an extra 30 days of maternity leave to mothers who give birth to their third child. Southwestern Chinese city Panzhihua earlier announced subsidies of 500 yuan a month for each second or third child until the child turns three. These are some of the follow-up measures to encourage young couples to have more children after China introduced a third-child policy in 2021 to raise the fertility rate. So, how is the policy being promoted, and how effective will it be in dealing with China’s demographic challenges?

And how will this arms sale affect stability across the Taiwan Strait?
