This is completely true. The problem of Japan’s rapidly aging and declining population is well-known to Westerners, but what many don’t know is that China is also sitting on its own demographic time bomb. The CCP likes to posture a lot, but the harsh truth of the matter is that even if they somehow did take over the world, they wouldn’t last long because in 20 years they’d have a massive influx of elderly citizens and not enough young citizens to support them. In many of China’s urban developed areas, the birth rate is even lower than most European countries. They even tried to incentivize young couples to have more children by getting rid of the 1-child policy and allowing up to 3 children, but very few young people have taken up that offer. They’ve successfully managed to create a dystopian society that their own citizens would rather slowly die out than pass it to the next generation.
So, good job communists - you’ve played yourselves. Again.
