Couples attend a collective wedding at Love Bay, Golden Beach Beer City in Qingdao, Shandong province, China, August 22, 2023.
China's encouraging marriages and childbirth.
  • A county in China is offering couples a cash reward of $137 if the bride is under 25.
  • It said the move is to promote "age-appropriate marriage and childbearing."
  • The county is also handing out childcare subsidies and benefits, to encourage people to have babies.

China's so desperate to have more babies that it'll do anything to boost marriages and fertility.
