Would you please stop with this stupidity? Enough. It seriously hurts my brain that every bit of discussion about China devolves into someone regurgitating these thoroughly incorrect, stupid cliches. China's population is more than 4x America's. If a billion people vanished from China, it would still be more populous than America. America is the one with the demographic problem, not China. China has at least 20 years of urbanization left, with people moving from unproductive agrarian work into the cities. Furthermore, the government has plenty of policy space to implement pro-natal programs. Before you even think it - no, they work. Coordinated, consistent pro-natal policy can and does routinely lift birth rates. China is rocketing up the value chain on every single metric. It just installed more industrial robots this year than the rest of the world combined. Investment , both state and private, is pouring into renewable energy, EVs, semiconductors, advanced manufacturing, biotech, aerospace, etc. China's government, for whatever problems it has, is simply the most effective on competent ever devised. It outclasses every other government on Earth, it isn't even close. You and your fellow Americans need to open your eyes and understand your diminished and ever-diminishing place in the world. |
I realize that it's frustrating to be representing a minority view, but it's not ok to react to that pressure by lashing out at others or breaking the rules here.
