- PeterHolzwarth 7mo agoOh my goodness, this is deeply untrue. China is facing a massive population implosion. A lot of their global strategy can be understood through that lens: they are racing to accumulate power, standing, and wealth before the implosion starts to kick in.
- noosphr 7mo agoEveryone is seeing a population implosion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_world#/media/File%3AWorld_population_pyramid_2026.png https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_world#/med... we are already past peak child.
- cryptonector 7mo agoSome are doing worse than others, and China is doing close to the worst.
- noosphr 7mo agoChina is doing much better than the West. The only thing keeping populations from imploding here is the constant migration from the third world.
- amanaplanacanal 7mo agoI don't understand. You say China is doing better than the West, and then explain why the West is doing so much better than China.
- noosphr 7mo agoThe West isn't doing better. The West is destroying third world countries to take their human resources. Blowing up the middle east created more uber eats drivers than defunding all the schools in Detroit ever did.
- anovikov 7mo agoI think you haven't been following the news. US demographics is by far the healthiest of all halfway developed countries, with the exception of Israel. China has third low TFR in the world after South Korea and Taiwan, and is facing extinction within two generations whereas society and the economy will simply cease because all available labor will be consumed by caring hundreds of millions of extremely elderly people. By 2100, US will look about the same as Western Europe looks today: ageing, but still OK. China will be no more.
