As a younger woman, Lisa Pang was sure she wanted children. But now, aged 37 and a successful business entrepreneur, her career is so fulfilling she has rejected the idea of motherhood.

Her reluctance to raise a family while focusing on her career in the sports industry in Guangdong is reflected among swathes of women of her generation in China, which is facing a fertility crisis that has accelerated the rapid ageing of the population and could hamper economic growth.

“The low birth rate nowadays may be due to the change of mindset among young people,” said Ms Pang.

The more you dig, the more you find astounding similarities between China’s post-modern, materialist, marxist society, and our post-modern, materialist, marxist society.

Any society of sufficient intelligence was targeted for socialism in order to kill off that society.

This is a very short term view of the situation.

There is always a large variation within population.

Accept the premise 1/2 of the population of women refuse to procreate.

The offspring of the women who want to procreate will be more likely to procreate.

In a few generations, at most a few hundred years, we are back to where we are to day.

Most likely, less than a hundred years.

If you look up ghost cities you’ll see ones in China, but Turkmenistan has some of emptiest and lonely looking cities ever.

There are various reasons for this happening. We see women wanting careers and delaying or putting off marriage and motherhood. We see men not wanting marriage and family.

We could ask why so many young people do not see marriage and family life as important life goals. People work to get educated and work on career goals, but do not work at all towards marriage and family.

Lisa will feel the Pang of a childless life when she reaches her 50’s and there is no longer joy in her work. A career doesn’t even come close to motherhood.

Sadly, I know of quite a few! "Having it all" is very demanding for Women (and not achieved without sacrifice)!

It took decades of the culture of death to get to this point. It will take decades to get us back on track. I don’t think there is any easy fixes.

I loved my career and I love being a parent. They are both blessings. We need to talk more often to young people about the joys of having a family since they are not taught or encouraged about in school.

I don’t know about China but in the US where the lower portions of the IQ Bell Curve are doing the most procreating, in a hundred years we’ll be NOWHERE NEAR where we are now in the “quality” of the population.

The best, and most guaranteed way to bring down an enemy is to export feminism and woke values to their country.
