China is headed into a sharp decline in population by 2040, when they get to that lovely topheavy demographic, but the eventual rise of the Chinese economy was foreseen at least as long ago as WWII, it was noted by US General Joseph Stilwell (bio by Barbara Tuchman). Meanwhile, the US will have to, and will, change what it does and how it does it. The Demagogic Party, its violent stooges, and some parasitic criminal growth (like Soros) is the main impediment to that change.

Not really that great a problem, given that they don’t have social security to speak of,and a third of population still living in squalor in provinces.

Things happen when you abort all your females.

Maybe we can give China 2000 ‘Biden’ variety Yuan money trees.

China birth rate 11.59 births per 1,000 inhabitants
American birth rate 11.968 births per 1000 inhabitants

Figures are for 2018

That is why the democrats are permitting open borders. They need to populate the city strong holds

So their census numbers washed all the plague deaths into low birth rates. Isn’t that convenient

Those are regard shrinking population with alarm often do so because they believe that economy must be driven by consumption. Yet, successful economies of Imperial Britain, the economic miracle of Germany after the war, the similar rebound of Japan and, especially, the phenomenal rise of China all came through establishing a mercantilist economy.

I believe it is folly to base an economy on consumption, consumption is the bonus for successful mercantilist economy. Yet, our politicians and our Davos elitist calculate to do just that.

We left the agricultural revolution long ago, indeed the Industrial Revolution is giving way to the digital revolution, an age in which one might ask how many coolies can a Chinese robot replace? The time will come when huge population masses will not be regarded as necessary for a Ponzi scheme called Social Security nor will it be regarded necessary for a healthy economy. Certainly, masses of people are more of a target in time of war than an asset. In a war that will be fought with satellites, drones and keyboards whole populations can be wiped out with the stroke of a key causing the sabotage of electric grids or water systems and millions to die.

As one who has striven all his life for the improvement of the breed, I have six kids, six grandkids and two great grandkids, it is clear that their challenge will not come because there are too few people but too many.

Will China lose a Representative in US Congress?/s

I think it’s actually good news for China. You don’t need population growth in order to have economic growth, as China has proved.

China needs to import more migrants to work in their camps.
