- crimsonalucard 8y agoYes. High populations don't correlate with GDP. In fact there's an inverse correlation. Look at India. edit: source for those who don't believe me: https://www.kaieteurnewsonline.com/2013/01/17/population-growth-is-generally-highest-in-the-poorest-countries-report/ https://www.kaieteurnewsonline.com/2013/01/17/population-gro...
- thinkcontext 8y agoThis is a good point. Personally, I think the inverted pyramid means that China won't achieve parity with US in per capita wealth. However, there's still a ton of growing that it can do. Think of all the millions of cars, washing machines, air conditioners, not to mention increased consumption of pharmaceuticals, personal care, apparel, meat, etc. Capital is not going to pass this growth up.

Given we're talking about the CCP, I suppose they could right their reverse pyramid using the same brutal means they used to create it. Say, by heavily pushing euthanasia options onto retired folks who can't care for themselves, with financial sanctions for their families if they refuse to comply.
