Yeah... one of the is not like the other tho. Seriously, Japan was the 2nd largest Economy for a long time but far more importantly, Japanese culture is one of the most powerful in the world - everyone under a certain knows who Goku is, Luffy is beloved world over and we all know what it means to run like Naruto. The world over also knows that Japan is a pretty serious culture, they are like the Germany of Asia and the Koreans and Chinese are pretty serious too. They have several words to define foreigner based on their level of how bad they are or decent... It's one of the most expensive places in the world, Japanese is also hard and they have a stubborn attachment to using it even for titles of things... I'd not have it easy in Japan. I'd pick Japan. Every. single. time. Not all closed to immigrant societies can actually do an about face. That's just reality. I'd pick

And China... is number 2 right now? There are 1.4B of them. Literally more people than entire continental Europe, North America and Japan combined. I just don't get the idea of looking down on them, when for the past 15 years they've been on a roll. Sure they have problems, but so does every country. Also, I don't think you realize how much Japanese have hatred towards foreigners. I will go as far as saying Chinese and Americans have more in common than Japanese and Americans. Anyways, my whole point was clowning a huge economy because of its political ideology is only valid when they keep losing. Right now? It's the opposite. Time will show, I guess.

  I almost posted a link here but I think you ought to research the claims that you are making, all of your own volition, bc I think you need to see for yourself - search many sources, you will see. 1.3 Billion people will be less than 700 Million - younger ppl alive today will live to see this transpire. Understanding this is key to getting why Taiwan is so important to be taken this generation. As a previous comment stated - they have 15 years before they begin to decline and at first the decline will be slow but at some point the majority of people will be so Old that they require care, like assisted living... but they will be the majority of people without the children and grandchildren necessary to replace them, the country's population is projected to be at around half of it current number by 2100. I can't state enough that reversing such decline is extremely difficult. Now that "we all know" any moves to increase immigration will almost look a denial of reality. Like I said, I believe that the CCP may have broken their society with that policy - as it seems to be a factual statement that cannot be denied.

  Well 1.4B is the official number, but is it accurate? When have Communists ever been truthful about important issues? China has childhood immunization coverage near 100% (which is an impressive accomplishment by itself), but independent analysis of the number of vaccine doses ordered shows that the actual population could be closer to 1.2B. The reality is that the Chinese government treats the raw data as a state secret and won't provide any access to independent researchers so no one knows for sure. I have never looked down on Chinese people. But their nation has essentially self destructed multiple times over the past several centuries so I won't be surprised if it happens again. When heading over a cliff, political ideology can cause even smart people to keep going straight ahead instead of turning the wheel.
