India Will Overtake China in 2023, Says the UN
BBC ^ | 7/11 | Stephanie Hegarty

Posted on 07/11/2022 3:02:15 PM PDT by nickcarraway

India is set to become the world's most populous country next year, overtaking China with its 1.4bn people, according to UN figures.

By this November, the planet will be home to 8bn.

But population growth is not as rapid as it used to be.

It is now at its slowest rate since 1950 and is set to peak, says the UN, around the 2080s at about 10.4bn though some demographers believe that could happen even sooner.

But the population of the world is expanding unevenly.

I just read China is probably at about 1.2-3 billion and the 1.4 is an overestimate.

And yet the population control freaks have their sights on the relatively diminutive US population

No, they won’t get to 1.4B.

At least 500 million will be moving to California.

It’s their property, you know.

More than half the growth we will see in the next 30 years will happen in just eight countries - the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Philippines and Tanzania.

That's unlikely to happen.

For example, the UN projects Tanzania to go from 60 million to 125 million by 2050. It's unclear how Tanzania will grow enough food for double the population or earn enough foreign exchange to import the food. Most likely, Tanzania's population will be limited before 2050 by famine, disease and war.

Projections for other countries in South Asia and Africa are similarly unrealistic in terms of arable land and productivity.

Africa is where the large growth will be. Two generations have been mowed down by aids in Africa. They will be replaced in the next 40 years. Soon Africa will be far more over populated than Asia. Most Asian countries have already begun to taper off. Some like Japan are shrinking. The only reason the US is still growing is immigration which is why the borders are open. Our politicians and businesses will take any population growth. They don’t think there is a difference between good and bad population. They just see it as workers, voters, and tax payers. They don’t see or care about the crimes disease, and social expense of these new people.

I’ve always thought we should have much closer ties with India. They can be a strategic bulwark against a rising China. And while I am not a big fan that American companies outsource so much industry, I’d rather they outsource to India and even Central/South America where we have strategic interest and politically similar philosophies - and they all have needs for higher value export industries and jobs.

The plan is for the excess to migrate to Europe and the US until they collapse our economies.

And India has a pure-blood population to boot. They kicked the vaccine peddlers out and went with with the Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine protocols and just kept on rolling.

Not to worry. The open borders and ‘diversity’ worshippers, who have chosen diversity as their religion instead of worshipping the One true God, will let hundereds of millions of them into the USA to replace us.
