“If China has been borrowing money based on a population of 1.4 billion, but there are only 800 million, there isn’t enough people to pay back that debt.”
That’s a new one - does that mean if I have more kids, I can borrow more money. I kind of doubt it.
“Also, it’s not just population, but the demographics of the population. Old people are not producers to fund the government, but consumers. If there are too many old people, there are not enough people to support them and the young, who are supporting them, will not have enough to support themselves when they reach retirement age.”
China, like Canada now, has a way of dealing with old people who are a burden on their country. It won’t affect them (or Canada) nearly as much as civilized countries.
If the population is getting old how they gonna invade Taiwan?
Older GI’s think for themselves.
