I don't see anything wrong with your numbers. China just started implementing the policies, and you wouldn't expect a huge change to happen in a single year. However, it does look like there is a measurable effect already.
China has problems just like any country, the workaholic culture is not as conductive towards having kids as some countries in Europe. The problem certainly doesn't appear to be worse than in most counties, and unlike a lot of countries the government is actually doing something about it. I still don't see why you point this as an issue that should make me dislike China.
