As per the Tweet below, China’s fertility rate is currently 0.88 children per woman.
This is LOWER than South Korea AND UKRAINE!!
Big if true!
In 1960, more than 30m Chinese babies were born annually.
In 2023 only 7.8m were born annually.

seems that China needs to import “migrants” far more these WE do. could we do a migrant bus lift to help them out? Greg Abbott could teach the bluer States how.
China has that wall to keep the “migrants” out.
It’s interesting to see what happens. China’s economy may very well collapse before it escapes the middle income trap.
Wow, they could run out of people soon!
There are a billion of them
Why do you think the China virus was targeted with mortality rates high for the elderly?
Why do you think the pressure is so high, here?
Our lunatic push to self-destruction has a time-clock on it.
At a “one child policy” replacement rate, they could be down to 125 million in 4 generations.
Not to worry that China might run out of people. Even if the population growth turns negative, it still takes a long time to use up a couple billion. And yet, even with shrinkage in numbers, there shall STILL be more new Chinese produced than of all Western civilization European and North American nationalities combined.
South America and Africa could still give them a run for their money, though. And India is on track to overtake the Chinese.
Well, the mandatory “one child” law that was in place for 30 years got people into the habit. That’s enough time for society to reorganize around near-non-existent families. I believe this is the year that India surges ahead of Red China in total population.
Of course South Korea is NOT doing much better, fertility-wise, and they didn’t have a one child law. And don’t even ask about western Europe!
I was being facetious. What’s the marker for that? /f ?
As for South America and Africa, is it too soon to call them what they’ll be? Chinese. /seriously
Liberal ‘elites’ need migrants to keep wages down for most Americans. They don’t give a damn about the costs to us - just so long as it’s cheaper for them.
Drill baby, drill.
That’s what she said!
In China it's worse - because Xi Jinping has managed in ten short years to completely smash the optimistic spirit that had taken root under his predecessors. Chinese Gen Zers think just like ours - there is no future and the Boomers stole everything.
About ten years ago, economists who specialize in economic development and growth raised the question: Does China get rich before she gets old, or does China get old before she gets rich?
As many have pointed out here, demographics is destiny.

There are those whose analysis maintains that one of the outcomes of China’s demographic collapse will be a desperate lack of replacement labor as the work force ages and retires at the same time millions of retirees will absorb an even greater portion of the work force for elder care services. Peter Zeihan, Jim Rickards and others lay out the multitude of other severe factors that will lead to China’s collapse within the next 50 years or so: Water quality, Tofu construction, real estate, extreme cult of personality leadership, economic, geographic factors and more.
