there is real concern
By who?
people may feel pressured
There is nothing the cpc could do that would register compared to the pressure exerted by the average parent.

Traditional Chinese Medicine. It comes in pillboxes that look exactly like actual medicine, but then you translate the ingredients and it has like bear bile and shit.
Its not quite that cheap, remember that wages here are much lower. OTC meds are often more expensive than in America, and TCM is sold alongside actual medicine
The only thing that's free in the people's hospital is walking in the door.
But it is all very cheap, I got an xray, ultrasound, and consult for like 15 USD. Cuba seems to have a better model regarding healthcare.
As someone currently in China, I'd rather have a kid here than in the US.
There's a lot more random shit explicitly for children around, like malls will have basketball courts, arcades, playgrounds, and other things that definitely doesn't generate as much, if any revenue, so kids aren't just expected to silently follow their parents around or be on the phone for hours at a time. As a consequence, you see fewer outbursts of children in public. They still have a long way to go regarding mental health in other ways. A mother I talked to was confused that anyone could think it's possible to teach children to listen without hitting them.
As far as education goes, I see more small, private schools than the US, which worries me as it implies the public schools in the area aren't as good. It's notoriously stressful for the children, but then so is living with a real danger of getting shot at school.

Reddit, but it matches other sources.
Apparently they export a shitton of diamonds and textiles to the US, enough to outweigh their imports from China.
Enforcing Biden’s sanctions against Iran/Russia/NK is not pushing anyone further from the EU
I mean you are broadcasting that the US determines your foreign policy, whether that's attractive or not depends on whether a leader's interests are more closely aligned with America's or the European unit as a whole.
China is everyone’s biggest trading partner.
It's not tho.
Call us a “puppet state” if you will, but we’re not as far up Trump’s ass as a lot of other allies.
The status of puppet state has nothing to do with whether a country's leader opts to jerk off a clown in public, its about being willing to sacrifice your own economy for our benefit, and extends well beyond Trump.
Also: Supporting us in every war and hostile action against countries whose subjugation doesn't even benefit your own capitalists.

Governments? Yes. China specifically? Probably not. Korea maybe, because they've been having some extremely normal politics as of late.
Chinese dudes I've talked to have lamented the contradictory pressure and social requirements of getting married, I can't predict what kind of policy would help address this. Promoting gay marriage and adoption? Telling parents it's fine if everyone doesn't get married? Housing subsidies for grandparents to move nearby and provide childcare so a smaller dowry is acceptable? Letting immigrants on spouse visas work?
The women I've talked to have mostly lamented the same bullshit women everywhere deal with, dudes cheating or being unwilling to put in the same effort. IDK if these concerns will result in policy changes.
