You Won't Believe What Country Will Overtake China in Population ( No, Not Just India )
PJ Media ^ | 02/12/2024 | Stephen Green

The depopulation bomb imploding in China is more powerful than ever according to shocking new figures just published by Australia's Victoria University in Melbourne.

It just seems like last month [It was just last month, Steve — editor] that I reported for you that Chinese women seemed to be voting against strongman Xi Jinping's return to True Communism™ with the only means available to them — their uteri. Live births were down in 2023 by another 500,000 under 2022's dismal figure. That puts the People's Republic fertility rate nearly at 1.0, or about half of the 2.1 required just to keep the population from shrinking. 

Unchanged, as I'm sure you've already figured out in your head, each generation in China will be about half the size of the preceding generation. What that means down the road shocked even me, and I've been following this story for years.

“Our forecasts for 2022 and 2023 were already low but the real situation has turned out to be worse,” said Victoria University senior research fellow Xiujian Peng. His research, along with that of China's Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, indicates that China's population will shrink to 525 million people by the end of the century. 

That's barely more than a third of today's population of over 1.4 billion. That also assumed that China's fertility rate continues to hover at about one birth per woman of childbearing age. Practically next door, in South Korea, the fertility rate has dropped even lower, to 0.78. 

One reason for the sharp decline is that China is running short of women of childbearing age, with "more than three million fewer than a year earlier," according to the WSJ.

What we haven’t seen, yet, is a big push by the CCP to mandate that their women get married and have kids.

As in, if you are an unmarried woman at 25, or don’t have at least 2 kids by 30, then no social credit score for you.

Then again, having lots of women leave the workforce to have kids might collapse China’s already shaky economy.

Agreed! I was just ready to ditch the article when I saw the author finally stated it was Nigeria.

Today’s Chicoms look on humans as a commodity. They are not people, persons with souls, they are to be used as the Chicoms desire. There are many forced organ ‘donations.’ If you are forced to give up one kidney, one eye, one lung, well, you might continue living for a while. But if the Ruling Class needs your liver and/or your heart, oh well.

The WEF plan too. The WEF improves on this by making zee bugs a staple food. I heard on the radio that Florida is banning lab grown meats. So bugs it will be! Giving one kidney will get you a two year supply of bugs for your family.

They’ve been trying hard to get into a short, ultra-high-intensity war with someone to feed their excess male population to and quash the internal dissent at the same time.

Their recent and still ongoing spat with India is one example. They tried to start something with the Indians on their border - unfortunately for them, the Indians figured out what China was trying to do and have been holding the line without giving China the mass casualties that they wanted.

Even that’s not going to work. They don’t have *time* left. The nasty wake of One Child is that the number of girls born per year continued to decline and since there were lots of horny guys for each girl, a lot of the girls emigrated and left. And the CCP didn’t figure this out until far too late.

I would not always callit absurd, but they should be regarded as „possible outcomes“ rather than predictions set in stone. Some people fall into this trap, unfortunately.

Maybe the author is paid by the word.

The author is paid based upon how many readers click on the "Click Here to Read More" icon appearing right after the words, "...you won't believe what country will overtake China! I mean, really! You'll never guess it! That country is..."

Regards,

Dear Mr. Cronos,

in my last comment I wrote something, my last sentence, which could appear to be meant to be rude to you or someone else.

I wish to apologize to you and anyone whom it may concern, and I regret any misunderstanding.
😟
And your prediction could indeed come out real. After all, you said that it were possible that Nigeria won’t survive as a state in the long run. Well, prospects are not good, but maybe there will be miraculous reforms to the country…

Yeah, China has SERIOUS demographic issues. Too many men, not enough women, and the economy sucks so that men can’t get married. I fear that if they (the men) get uppity, they’re gonna have to start a war to thin the herd.

I was worried a lot about this 20 years ago. Those excess men are getting long in the tooth to serve as cannon fodder. The ideal age for military service is about 20.

Easy.. just add some genetic code to target the ethnicity and gender you want to remove with a viruse we already paid for in their lab.
It’s personalized healthcare. Exciting times.

God said “No more water. Next time its with fire.”

In the Bible the no more global flood is the rainbow promise.

Where is the promise of next time fire?

God gave Noah the rainbow sign
No more water, but the fire next time

That’s just from a negro spiritual. Not from the Bible.

James Baldwin wrote a 1963 book “The Fire Next Time” about the civil rights struggle. People treat this notion as if it were biblical, but it is not. Nevertheless, the negroes have been burning down cities for many decades.

In the nuclear age it’s hard to doubt the ‘fire next time’, but as you note it is not Biblical, as far as I know.

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?

While the Creator, Who made all things out of nothing, and out of love for us, is free to work all things as He pleases, it is not a stretch to think it would all start with a “natural” sudden increase in the greater light.
