>The Japanese fail to produce enough children. Yes, and? What will those "missing" children do in a stagnant economy except contribute to watering down already low wages and increasing pressure on housing? >The country will either have to change or it will disappear soon. Massive doomerist over-exaggeration. Japan will be fine. Not an imperialist world super-power, but the Japanese people will be OK, better than 80% of the world's population. >Most European countries have the same issue, but it is less visible due to immigration, which Japan does not have. Yes and long term European countries will be worse off than Japan, due to the ethnic and cultural replacement and racial clashes and crime caused by their immigration policies. Japanese travel to Europe on vacation a lot, saw what imigration looks like, and don't want that. They'd rather stay a stagnant/shrinking but homogenous, safe and peaceful nation, rather than have a growing population of foreigners that replaces them and causes crime. What Americans/westerners fail to understand is that a nation's success, stability and long term future is more than its GDP and population number that must grow to the moon at all cost just to enrich the top 10% of asset holders while everyone else fights for the scraps, but it's the people and culture that made it great to begin with, not a faceless, borderless economic zone of corporations and workers. Nations that decline economically/demographically can always rebounce back(see post-WW2), but economic zones not so much, as when they fail, the corporations and migrants that came purely for economic reason, just move to the next economic zone, like locusts, since they have no ancestral ethnic and cultural roots tying them to that land incentivizing them to stick around through thick and thin and rebuild it.
