Time to kneel down and pray to our future Chinese Overlords, for they are everywhere and everything.
nah their demographics are doomed
Why?
Because they're having less babies than is needed to maintain or grow their population
2.1 babies/woman is about what's needed to maintain a population, China was at 1.09 last year
their 1 Child per family policy for decades has left them with a gigantic pile of elderly and not nearly enough working age people to support them. not to mention the young people have no training on how to support their infrastructure or manufacturing tools.
Iβve also heard that they abort mostly female fetuses compared to male fetuses. Donβt know why, culture or something, but could also be a lie.
because if you can only have 1 child to support the family in the future you need to have the one that gets educated and paid. it went on for decades. if you search youtube for the word 'china' theres countless recent explanations of the various ways they are collapsing.
This doesn't even mention the gender ration disparity either that is going to hit even harder as well for them. China is gonna have even more issues in the next few decades
Some religious extremists try to argue abortion is bad, but really it's bad when we cut a person up into 1/10ths. Strangely silent, hmmm.
Chopping up babies has biblical precedent
Birth rates falling way below replacement levels, AFAIK. Last number I heard was 1.09 or something
