The article is generally reliable and trustworthy as it provides detailed information about the 3rd China Population and Development Forum that was held in Beijing, including survey results regarding family size trends and changes in marriage and fertility attitudes among young generations. It also provides suggestions on how to encourage marriage and fertility such as implementing flexible working hours, developing home services industries, improving fertility services, etc., which are all supported by evidence from surveys conducted by China Population and Development Research Center in 2021.
However, there are some potential biases that should be noted when reading this article.

Furthermore, it does not provide any evidence for its claims regarding changes in marriage and fertility attitudes among young generations or explain why these changes have occurred or what their implications may be for society at large.
In conclusion, while this article is generally reliable due to its detailed information about the 3rd China Population and Development Forum that was held in Beijing as well as its supported suggestions on how to encourage marriage and fertility, there are some potential biases that should be noted when reading it such as lack of counterarguments or exploration of other possible solutions for encouraging marriage and fertility; lack of evidence for its claims regarding changes in marriage and fertility attitudes among young generations; lack of discussion about potential risks associated with these solutions; lack of presentation of both sides equally when discussing them; etc..
