 Online videos portraying squabbling families censored in China to encourage people to have more babies
==========

China is taking steps to boost its falling birth rate by censoring online videos that portray unhappy Chinese families. The government fears that these videos will discourage young Chinese from having families. Hundreds of videos from online platforms Douyin and Kuaishou have been removed. China's elderly population is set to grow to 520 million by 2050, and the country is urging young people to get married. Despite the removal of these videos, fakes of the original videos continue to appear online.
