Standing at around 10 percent in 1920, both the figure for Chinese and American infants experienced a rise and fall by 1930. Afterwards, there was a mild elevation from 10 to 15 percent, before dropping by 5 percent in 1940 in China.

It is worth noting that the figures for both groups were highly comparable in 50 years from 1950 to 2000. Particularly, according for around 5 percent in the 1940s, both the categories significant boost to reach a peak at 20 percent in China and 15 percent in China in the 1950s. From this time onwards, the remaining period brought a rapid drop of almost 13 percent to that of infant rate, which stood at around 2 percent in 2000 in China.
