Allowing Chinese couples to have 2 children if one of the parents is an only child will mean approximately an extra 1m newborn babies for China every year, according to calculations, xinhuanet.com reported. There is a slim chance that the figure would exceed 2m.
据新华网报道，测算显示，放开"单独二胎"后，我国每年新出生的人口将比现在增加100万左右，超过200万的可能性很小。
The number of newborns in China has not exceeded 20m a year since 1998. There were 16.35m newborns in the country in 2012.
统计数据表明，1998年以后，我国每年新生人口从未超过2000万人。2012年，我国出生人口为1635万人。
