This is why immigration is increasingly important for sustaining a country. It allows the host to pick out those motivated enough to adapt, with those who don't make the cut either getting ejected or departing on their own (a labor flexibility not so easy to perform with citizens). Likely we'll see Old World ethnostates like NE Asia failing to find a second wind, and more openly adoptive competitors eventually passing them in the longer marathon of generations.

@jingchengyang8957 Organized doesn't mean they make all the right decisions, and in fact could blind them from mitigating underlying trends which could be fatal going forward. For Japan their discipline leaves them with schizophrenic technology systems and an aging population. For the Eastern Bloc it was cultural suffocation that kept Western liberalism quietly favorable until an opportunity to break out arose. For China it could be their cavalier corruption and patronizing attitudes which may see support for the Party collapse dramatically when they eventually fail to shut up critics with promises of indefinite economic improvement. The strength of a democracy and open protests is that it provides a visible image of a nation that ultimately holds together despite the internal differences and tensions.

@brainwashington1332 And China is quickly closing the gap, which when scaled up to their triple-sized population makes this extremely problematic. America by contrast is steadily decreasing its per capita consumption even while the population slowly rises.
