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.

Well, they could open their boprders and fill their new cities with Nigerians. Why isn’t WEF pushing that?
South Korea is a country with a free market economy. Next to the Philippines, it is the most Christian country in Asia. In other words, South Korea is the polar opposite of Red China yet the birth rate is well under that of its huge neighbor. Though no longer Communist and under a regime that encourages families and Orthodox Christianity, Russia reports a birth rate of 1.42 children. There is something going on beyond government policy.
Not just thin the heard but acquire more women
Not if the global supply chain breaks down.
Great. Now we will have even more Nigerian princes that need to have excess money taken off of their hands.
America needs more babies…demography is destiny and ultimately the world will be driven by the countries with the largest population.
What’s the point of a larger American population if they’re not really interested in being American?
Great plan! At the next WEF meeting let’s make sure it’s on the agenda.
They’ll starve. It’s a dump.
Have you seen Lagos? I’d rather be dead than live there.
A near entirely black population won’t be anything for the world but an anchor to do-gooder whites.
The best thing for the world is to quit sending food, medicine and supplies to Africa.
The Woke Democrats of this country have a solution ready made for this problem.
Here in Wokeland Men can get pregnant.
The Chinese need only have their men get pregnant and bare children thus double the number of children produced in each generation.
You’re spot on. The stupidity of some around here is mind boggling.
Who wants to live like the insects of China or India?
Rudest people on Earth.
Population doesn’t drive world power. The cohesion of high IQ people does.
This is exactly why the white majority countries are being flooded with low IQ non whites.
Depopulation is a bigger risk to America in 50-100 years than having 20% of people living in America hate the country. I do not want America to become South Korea or Japan with imploding demographics.
Nigeria is Africa. Nigeria lacks the wherewithall to be. Disease will destroy massed African populations.
The African “leaders” lack the ability to fight the disease destruction that is comong.
Humanity needs more people….I think highly of any population that actually has a TFR greater than 2.2
Sounds like the only thing that would work would be a “Handmaid’s Tale” scenario:
Disallow emigration of girls.
Conscript EVERY woman of breeding age to be required to have a child every two years, with grandparents helping with child care.
Party officials of demonstrated high IQ to provide stud service as needed.
I have a high IQ, where do I sign up to join the Party?
IOW: I'd hit it.
A nice side effect is that Russia need worry less about China invading the Russian Siberia region.
Another glowing example of central planning. Do the central planners ever get anything right, and that’s central planners everywhere.
