Their "One Child" policy imposed in 1979 is causing a dire demographic plunge 44 years later, and the nation is getting overly elderly, like an upside down pyramid, with few young workers to support the many seniors.
And many country's people want their manufacturing brought back home. Trump certainly does, and if he wins?
The One-child project was a CIA creation. The author who wrote that book was enlisted by them to propagate.
Probably the one good act that the CIA actually did, win a war without firing a shot.
Covid 19 showed the insanity of allowing your supply chains to wind through China.
But can Joe and Hunter afford to have Xi and the CCP crash? Who will they sell out the country to if that happens?
China is imploding but Gordon Chang has been predicting this for the last 20 years. Eventually he’ll be vindicated I guess.
Gordon Chang has his finger on the pulse of Red China.
They’re communist they implode all the time
Gordon Chang tends to let his justifiable hatred of the CCP cloud his judgement. They might be teetering, they might not. I’m not sure Chsng is in a position to really know.
According to unverified Chinese social media report there is massive fire on Chinese navy’s most advanced 980 hull number Type 071 landing ship (Longhushan)
According to social media reports the ship has just completed sea trials, did not officially enter the navy, but can still be considered China’s most advanced landing ship
Some Chinese reports are trying to suggest that a military fire drill is being conducted on the ship.
Although I don’t know much about ships and ship fires, this doesn’t look like a fire drill unless I’m possibly mistaken. Thoughts?
No details provided on the location or information regarding the origins of the fire.
The tabloid media in the UK seems to have switched from fantasies about victory against Russia, to fantasies about victory against China.
Can someone explain 1 or 2 scenarios of how the CCP collapses while it controls a 2 million man army?
Gordon Chang has been predicting nothing but doom and gloom for China for at least 25 years. I’d be careful who I trusted as a source. Just look at his track record and his past predictions about China.
problems that we see in China are worse than people perceive. I don’t think Xi Jinping has solutions to them or I should say more precisely, his solutions are making problems worse

...sounds like someplace we live
Time for a new covid emergency lockdown for his party’s protection. America will help!
I suspect that China needs a war to stimulate their economy.
I also suspect that the US and Europe needs a war to stimulate the economy.
I also suspect that many other nations are in the same scenario.
If so hang on!
Used to listen to Gordon on the John Bachelor show (only because it followed Mark Levin on my commute home). he has been spouting the same theory for years.
Unfortunately from what we’ve seen the CCP is far more sophisticated than USSR/Putin and more circumspect than Hitler. Xi does not need to conquor the world in a year, as China measures timelines in decades and centuries. There is no political pressure as the chicoms have the ability to use tech to monitor and control the population in ways the nazis can only dream. Like Hitler the chicoms are running a genocidal campaign but not against concocted enemies but rather to eliminate regional dissent by wiping out Tibetans and Uyghers.
The question is whether the USA can sufficiently disengage from China and perhaps let the Chinese economy implode before Xi goes after his next prey (Taiwan). Xi figures he has carte blanche because everyone kisses his A** despite the atrocities (Tibet, Tianamen Square, Xinjiang, Hong Kong)
Without China, Amazon would have to subsist on CD and book sales.
Without China, Apple would have turn to consignment sales of older products.
In 1933, the US banking system failed.
“And many country’s people want their manufacturing brought back home. Trump certainly does, and if he wins?”
Free Traitors will put their ‘shoes’ to use again.
Big Business would like one factory in one country rather that one factory in each of 180 countries.
Gordon Chang has been posting that China is less than 18 months away from collapse for at least the last fifteen years.
Xi is making China totally communist. The existing economy and mindset is plagued with entrepreneurial and capitalistic economic aspects.
The existing economy must be totally destroyed and then replaced. Xi is destroying the existing economy and replacing it with CCP approved business and industry
