It is no doubt that low fertility is now shaping China's population dynamics,and China's
population policy is at a crossroad. Singapore,Japan,Korea and Taiwan are quite similar to China in
terms of cultural traditions and policy trajectory,and all choose pro-natal policies,yet the results were
not satisfactory. The procedures of their policy transition can provide reference for China's policy op-
tions. This paper conducts an in-depth analysis of the motivation,process and features of policy change
in these countries /regions,explains the influencing factors,and compares the characteristics and out-
comes of population policy before and after the change. On such a basis,this paper recommends Chi-
na to adopt gradual policy transition and reform the supplementary policies in line with population con-
trol in order to maintain suitable fertility level.
