Marriage registrations in China fell 6.2% year on year ​in the first quarter and are ‌about half 2017 levels, official data show, underscoring the demographic strain in a ​country where childbearing remains closely tied ​to marriage.

China recorded 1.697 million marriage ⁠registrations in the quarter, the ​Ministry of Civil Affairs said on Saturday.

The ​figures are the latest sign of China’s deepening demographic challenges.

China’s population fell for a fourth ​consecutive year in 2025, while its ​birth rate dropped to a record low, prompting ‌warnings ⁠from demographers of further decline.

    I mean its not like he’s gonna live there.

    Plan is to get married then do the usual marriage greencard visa route and then start a family in the US… and to them its just bussiness as usual, (they’re not even worried about trump the slightest… 👀)
