Is China Screwed

One child per couple means that China is “the fastest aging society in human history, with the largest sex imbalance in human history.”

“They’ve run out of people of childbearing age.”

They were going shrink in half by 2100. “Then they realized that they had been overcounting people for some time.” Then new data moved the date moved up to 2070. And now they’re saying it will be 2050. “For that to be true, the Chinese would have overcounted the population by 100 million.” And all of those missing people are of childbearing age.

Their population actually peaked 15 years ago.

“We’ve seen a 12-fold increase in Chinese labor costs since 1991.”

“China isn’t getting rich, it’s getting old.” They’re facing demographic collapse within a decade.

Too many reasons to list here, but all the ones listed on the blog seem to ring true. If all of them are true, China's end is probably going to be before 2050.

I’m optimistic, but this doesn’t seem to take into account “the Soros factor” that involves certain individuals living to be into their hundreds, continuing to wheel and deal and ruin the lives of others, for some time into the future. Remember: That’s the lie that powers socialism, i.e., that one will somehow outlive the others and emerge into a future where there are a lot fewer competitors.

It may not be practical, but the fact that they believe it so strongly is going to be a problem for practical people in the future.

The real question is:

Since almost everyone is set up to be ‘screwed’

And yes all you 80s preppy ‘alligator people’, or ‘code blues’

Even all you preppy people today, do you have oil/lube

Just load all of our "undocumented immigrants" onto planes, and send them to China. It would cost the US taxpayer less in the long run, and likely decrease the inflow...

So simple, so elegant, solves two huge problems with an easy fix. It’s a common sense solution so of course the politicians will not go for it. But i really like it!

China, like India, could lose a billion people and still be overpopulated.

When you have a huge number of dudes, that’s a good time to get into a war.

Yes, that would be good solution—send all Mexicans and Indians in the US to China. Have the flights on the border to load them up and send them on their way.

Could maybe send them over on ships, and describe it as a "free cruise", with guaranteed full-time employment, plus government-provided healthcare & pension, ready & waiting at the destination! Heck, might even be able to sell tickets!

Didn’t they recently change to a new policy allowing couples to have 2 children or more?

Too little too late.
When you consider how much your costs are going to increase to support seniors, there is just no money to afford a second child.

Centralized social control is guaranteed to be a disaster.

They are getting rich. It’s not so hard to reverse the one child policy. They can import or export people as they see fit now. Japan was in a bigger bind, confined as the were to those few islands.

At least according to the article, all the Chinese elites are doing is gathering as much wealth as they can before the system collapses. When the elites no longer invest in the development of their nation, the end is at hand.

China would never import foreigners. They are even worse than Japan in their distrust of the foreigner.

Add hydraulic fluid to the list. POL - it’s all important.

Yeah, I always keep an assortment of CHF on the shelf, but it gets confusing which goes in what.
