Why do you keep saying "alteration of birth rates" ? I don't get what you really mean :( The above para has lots of grammar errors and also clarity issues :(

In China, birth rate have fluctuated heavily during first 30 years from 1920 to 1935.

Next, it undergoes to decrease until 1940 about 5% then leveled off until 1945 before increased sharply until 1950 namely 20%. Afterwards, the rates of birth decreased step by step until 2000 with average number 2%.

You need to maintain past tense because these are figures that belonged to the past. Also, pay lots of attention to grammar and clarity of your sentences.
