If China starts to collapse they are likely to start wars to distract the population.
<< Pundits on the left (and occasionally on the right as well), often with overt admiration for the Chinese model of authoritarian state-directed crony capitalism.. >>
Previously (and accurately) known as …fascism. Not the new definition of fascism which now means …anything the Left doesn’t like.
Even given all the dire prognostications on birth rate, China will still have plenty of people.
socialism + statism = state ownership & control + universal wage and price controls + elimination of profits & private property & competition + central planning + political incentives + collectivist duty & altruistic sacrifice + government monopoly + bureaucratic management + mob rule + force/tyranny + slave labor & forced labor + terror & mass murder = anarchy of production + economic chaos + inefficiency & waste + shortages + technological backwardness + misery/suffering for the masses + riches & aristocratic privilege & court society for the rulers/leaders
Thanks to China’s one baby/abortion policy, China will soon be a nation of grandpas and grandmas.
Grandpas and grandmas are incapable of filling the ranks of the military to effectively project power. China will soon stop building a Navy and switch to building a fleet of cruise ships so grandma and grandpa can enjoy their senior years.

Look at the sky in the picture associated with this article.
That is not an overcast day. It is air-pollution. That’s a normal day. The sky is not blue in Chinese cities.
Thanks again, liberals.
They have many ghost cities. Near empty poorly constructed buildings.
Just so long as the Chinese are still pumping out cheap stuff for the Dollar Tree store. Like $1.25 eyeglasses and cheap thin socks that work great for my athletic shoes.
