Brent Goodrich's curator insight, December 14, 2015 11:48 AM

China is seeing growth in its baby products as a result of the ending for the one-child policy. This a change in pace as China is unprepared for the influx of babies that it could have. China has also had problems with its internally made baby products. This opens China to internationally made baby products. This prob won't hurt the economy but it could continue the slowdown as Chinese families spend more on imported goods.
