Took me a moment to understand this headline wasnt banning “propaganda that doesn’t include children”

China and Russia are pushing their people to have more kids and increase their numbers while amplifying the sentiment that people from enemy nations shouldn’t have kids.

Because nothing says, "I should have children" than living under an overbearing autocratic government trying to control your life!

Children are future workers, soldiers and parents.
These countries see that birth rates are dropping in the west and are looking to become dominant in numbers.

I'm pretty sure their concern is their own birth rate dropping, actually. Have you seen the demographics graph for Russia? They're facing a complete collapse of their working-age population in a decade or two

Doesn't help when you send the men to war.
