China’s Ticking Baby Time Bomb, Corruption, Debt Will Lead to Economic Collapse
New York Post ^ | 9/16 | Steven W. Mosher

Posted on 09/18/2023 5:04:33 PM PDT by nickcarraway

Moreover, the rabidly anti-natal propaganda of the policy has helped to create a culture in which children are no longer valued but rather rejected as expensive luxuries.

When the government finally ended the one-child policy in 2016, it rosily predicted that the total fertility rate — defined as the number of births per woman over her reproductive lifetime — would rebound to 1.8.

But China’s birthrate not only did not recover, it continued to fall. In 2022, only 9.56 million children were born.

45 years after the one child policy, China is running out of 45 year olds.

Stupid domestic policies can be glossed over by starting a good, old-fashioned war.
Rally ‘round the flag boys, and all that.

“But China’s birthrate not only did not recover, it continued to fall. In 2022, only 9.56 million children were born.”

Some have challenged these numbers, and alleged that even fewer children were born than is shown in the official statistics.

The CCP is not going to sit there and passively let China implode.

Since they are a totalitarian system, I’m sure president Xi and his boys can figure out some ways to work on this problem.

Since they are a totalitarian system ,they can do things that would be impossible in other countries, to encourage more births and encourage more marriages.

As I remember, they killed-off the baby girls and valued the baby boys, probably in prep for a huge ground army, which they have. Is that right? Must be a huge homo problem, with the serious lack of women, or do they import women?

The other issue that they face is the discrepancy between the number of men and women. During the one child policy, many pregnancies that would have resulted in girls were terminated in favor of male children.

Potentially millions of men will be unable to find a wife.

Just one more reason to glean the people they need by conquering the USA.

That’s a certainty, since China always pads its numbers.

The Chinese Communist Party will come to the obvious solution

It unfortunately for them it will be a far too Catholic solution.

Who knew that corruption all the way from the beggar up to Chairman Xi would be a problem?

Corruption , debt , economic problems, demographic issues?

How can China be grappling with such problems?

If communism is supposed to be such a superior system,, a superior way of organizing the social, economic , and political structure of your Society, then how can China be suffering from such problems?

How can China be dealing with problems which afflict the evil capitalist world?

Isn’t President Xi a good communist?

If indeed they are in such a dire situation, then the traditional solutions would be to look to war and, um, greener pastures.

The traditional Chinese approach, however, would be to do so in just the way they seem to be acting now. That would be to co-opt neighboring governments and cultures. That would in turn enable them to take over surrounding lands and conquer surrounding peoples via war that isn’t mere traditional war.
