4 billion "for a certain period in future," said Ning Jizhe, head of the National Bureau of Statistics, at a press conference on Tuesday.

国家统计局局长宁吉喆在5月11日举行的新闻发布会上表示，预计在未来一段时间内我国人口总量会保持在14亿人以上。

"China's population will peak in the future, but there remains uncertainty as to when specifically it will happen," Ning said.

宁吉喆说，我国人口今后会达到峰值，但具体时间现在看还有不确定性。

Based on demographic trends in recent years, China's population growth will continue to slow down, he said.

宁吉喆表示，从近年来我国人口发展变化的趋势看，今后的人口增速将继续放缓。

He noted the growth will also be affected by factors like the age structure, people's attitudes toward having children, the government's population policies, the cost of childbearing and parenting, medical service and health conditions.

同时，人口增长还受人口年龄结构、人们的生育观念、生育政策、生育成本、公共卫生和健康水平等经济社会因素的影响。
