Very good analysis and very enlightening.

Problem isn’t that women aren’t giving birth but because the cost of rising a child from birth to adult increased by 320% from 80,000 RMB to 280,000 RMB (1990 - 2020). This caused most working class Chinese families to either eschew having a child or limit child to 1.

Not likely to happen if they maintain their political system. Obtaining citizenship is incredibly difficult in China. Permanent residency permit is possible but for foreigners it has to be renewed yearly. Then there are severe limitations that westerners aren't used to. For example, freedom of movement is a privilege not a right in China (due to the Hukou system). Political protests and congregation in large groups are banned in China. Then there is the issue of bureaucracy and red tape. The Chinese aren't used to seeing a lot of foreigners in their home country. Then there is the racism factor, many Chinese are covert racists (if you think the Trump MAGA hatters are bad, you haven't met a Chinese ultranationalists). At least in the US, people are wary that (covert or overt) racism is a bad thing, in China racism doesn't even register a something to be aware of. For example: words commonly used to describe foreigners such as 鬼子 (white devil), 鬼佬 (ghost man usually aimed at caucasians), 黑鬼 (black devil, usually aimed at African descent), 阿三 or 紅頭阿三 (derogatory words usually used to refer to Hindu Indians), etc are commonly used, whether the speaker is aware of their derogatory meaning is subjective.

🤣🤣🤣 Then how come the CCP whines each time the US government does something positive for the US/Taiwan economic cooperation.

That’s what the CCP would like you to think. They can keep lying but you cannot fool numbers.

The CCP is hardly peaceful. It has a long sordid history of murdering it’s own people.

Lol I guess you haven’t heard that the “laying flat” movement is now the rage all over China. 🤣🤣🤣

False. The US replenishes it’s labor force thru immigration. Yes the birth rate in the US is low at 1.8 but immigration allows companies to replace retiring workers with immigrant workers so it is like as if the US maintains a rate of 2.0+. In fact by 2100 China’s population will be reduced to 485 million while the US will have about 425 million (relatively stable).

@LeisRealTalk And ironically it spawned a growing feminism movement in China which the CCP is trying to crackdown on. Maybe a discussion about China's feminism movement and the harassment they are facing from the nationalists and the government would be an interesting topic of discussion.

It is true. They estimated because of the one child policy the CCP prevented more than 100M female babies from being born.

@peaceinmind6202 Yep. Xi is now engaging in Han chauvinism and fascist imperialism. History is repeating itself.

There are a lot of intellectuals that are against what the CCP is doing (lying to the Chinese people). Its easy to point at the intellectuals sounding the alarm and call them crazy until their statements are proven accurate.

@Joe-sm7lm the difference between US system and China system is in the US system common people can enact positive change, in the China system common people cannot enact positive change.

@Joe-sm7lm Yah.. not gonna happen. You are not gonna get an honest answer because only those who agree with the CCP are allowed to talk while those who are against are silenced. There really is no freedom of discourse. Even Chinese people who left China are silenced by the CCP by threatening their families and friends left in China. The CCP are completely immoral.

@Joe-sm7lm Only the CCP does that … pretend to speak for 1.4 billion people. They don’t. If the only thing you can do is hurl insults then there’s nothing else I can say. The CCP is a fascist regime that is only interested in enriching themselves on the backs of the Chinese people. People are starting to wake up to that fact, that is why you see phenomenon such as “laying flat”, people know they are being used to enrich the wealthy but cannot do anything because of the dictatorial system hence they chose to do absolutely nothing. That is protest against the broken dictatorial system.

Lol… because Huawei doesn’t play fair. It is backed by the CCP as a state run enterprise. It’s corporate governance is opaque. Nobody knows who actually owns Huawei since Ren Zhengfei only holds less than 2% of stocks. The reality is the CCP elite cadres owns a majority of Huawei but they don’t report it. Huawei doesn’t even need to turn a profit since they are subsidized by Chinese taxpayer money. That’s how Huawei can offer “cheap, rock bottom prices”. This is of course unfair competition and stinks of government attempt at monopolizing an industry.

@victorchew151 Robots don't consume consume goods only produce. When you say size of economy it refers to the consumption and production of goods and services. When there are fewer people it's only natural that consumption of goods and services is reduced as well.

What she is saying is it is people that innovate not machines. Fewer people in the work force means fewer innovations. Fewer innovations means lower advancement and productivity. On top of that a growing elderly population means the state has to divert more and more money and resources to take care of those elderly. Imagine an elderly population of 450 million that is 1/3rd of the population. If the CCP do not take care of the elderly then these people will revolt. What is the CCP gonna do? Kill their own fathers and mothers?
