Thank you. You articulated and clarified what I have been thinking. I especially liked how you showed how China lied about the population born in 2020. If we take the 6 million missing 15 year old kids of 2015, and assume a similar number of 15 year old kids for every year, then China's population must be at least 200 million less than it claims. A China of 1.2 Billion is different from one of 1.4 Billion.

I would like to see more discussion on how China's culture has changed. With no brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, and cousins --- it seems to me that family behaviors and traditions would change or end. The entire concept of "family name" has to change, when there is only one person to carry it on. Only one person of that generation. What does "family name" really mean, when there is no family??

@somebody8972 Egyptian civilization is much older. China didn't have monumental structures for another 2000 years. Besides, 2500 years of imperial rule and culture, with no advancement in governmental institutions says very little about Chinese "culture". They don't know how to behave in a civil manner. They have not even learned to apologize. I remember teaching my daughter that when she was about 3 or 4. The Chinese cannot apologize because to them its "losing face". How ignorant and childish.

@gtw4546 Yep. One child policy coupled with aborting female babies is really suicidal for China.
