The depopulation bomb imploding in China is more powerful than ever according to shocking new figures just published by Australia's Victoria University in Melbourne.
It just seems like last month [It was just last month, Steve — editor] that I reported for you that Chinese women seemed to be voting against strongman Xi Jinping's return to True Communism™ with the only means available to them — their uteri. Live births were down in 2023 by another 500,000 under 2022's dismal figure. That puts the People's Republic fertility rate nearly at 1.0, or about half of the 2.1 required just to keep the population from shrinking.
Unchanged, as I'm sure you've already figured out in your head, each generation in China will be about half the size of the preceding generation. What that means down the road shocked even me, and I've been following this story for years.
“Our forecasts for 2022 and 2023 were already low but the real situation has turned out to be worse,” said Victoria University senior research fellow Xiujian Peng. His research, along with that of China's Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, indicates that China's population will shrink to 525 million people by the end of the century.
That's barely more than a third of today's population of over 1.4 billion. That also assumed that China's fertility rate continues to hover at about one birth per woman of childbearing age. Practically next door, in South Korea, the fertility rate has dropped even lower, to 0.78.
One reason for the sharp decline is that China is running short of women of childbearing age, with "more than three million fewer than a year earlier," according to the WSJ.

Yeah, China has SERIOUS demographic issues. Too many men, not enough women, and the economy sucks so that men can’t get married. I fear that if they (the men) get uppity, they’re gonna have to start a war to thin the herd.
Nigeria seems ‘okay’ letting lawless Muslim gangs come into their population centers to randomly kill and rape anybody who may not be their type of Muslim. This has been happening repeatedly and for many years. Remember First Lady Michelle holding that little sign ‘Bring Our Girls Home”?
If this passive aggressive negligence continues by the Nigerian Govt., the population will remain low, as in culled by Goons, or moved away, far away.
It takes a long while for that article to get to the point.
Thanks for wrapping it up.
Maybe the author is paid by the word.
I doubt Nigeria will still remain as a unified state by the end of this century.
And all those new cities they built!
It’s always absurd to project anything ahead 75 yrs.
Nigeria. Thanks.
I hate these headlines where the topic isn’t even mentioned until way later.
“ It’s always absurd to project anything ahead 75 yrs.”
Yes. Less than 75 years ago they were saying China’s population would be 2 billion or more by now.
Paging Dr. Bill Gates, paging Dr. Bill Gates.
More “vaccines” for Africa—stat!
“”China has SERIOUS demographic issues. Too many men, not enough women””
For hundreds of years China has practiced getting rid of baby girls. Little baby girls were born, and just left to die. When modern technology could determine the sex of the little girl in the womb, it was even easier to dispose of her.
Today’s Chicoms look on humans as a commodity. They are not people, persons with souls, they are to be used as the Chicoms desire. There are many forced organ ‘donations.’ If you are forced to give up one kidney, one eye, one lung, well, you might continue living for a while. But if the Ruling Class needs your liver and/or your heart, oh well.
I knew that. It’s one of the few countries that still has a decent birthrate. But they have a long way to go
.
Nigeria! That’s the country that will overtake China. I hate headlines like the one in this story. So more low very IQ people and fewer very high IQ. So civilization will regress. Thanks you stupid Communists! Thank you birth control fanatics. Thanks abortion loving monsters. Thus will drive more dummies to Europe and eradicate Western civilization. Only hope is for birth control to sweep the world of Islam or the planet will sink into inbreeding on a mass scale and return to the Dark Ages.
God said “No more water. Next time its with fire.”
Are they coming here across the border to get women?
Maybe it's not military aged Chinese men, but marriagable aged Chinese men who are flocking here.
South Korea is much lower, at a fertility rate of just 0.78. That’s disastrous...
Nigeria? They aren’t that big a country. 1.4 times the size of Texas.
Libertarians used to say that the whole population of the world could fit into Texas, but it’s likely that Nigerians will either start fighting with each other, or start fighting foreign countries to house their increasing population.
And they’re all going to want into the U.S.
Maybe they should be like us and have men get pregnant?
Neither amateur or supposedly trained journalists get to the point very fast. They think the history of the world is necessary background.
