China May Have More Problems Than Realized.

[jackflash]

Good vid on China! It covers both the good & the bad of current day China. From military to senior citizen retirement & a lot in between like it's really an interesting vid. I really liked the army of robots they are constructing like they somewhat reminded me of the Hyper Alloy Terminator Chassis, but not as beefy & don't look like they are as tough either. They even showed a robot pooch that was kind of cute in it's own way! Modern day cities with sky scrappers & nobody living in those cities like I couldn't believe it. It sounds like the Chinese folks have had it with the communalist form of g'ment but that's covered in the vid somewhat.

China has many problems. Right now it's very, very interesting because the Army and Xi are fighting it out for dominance within the CCP.

Ghina doesn’t care about Russia. They pose no threat to the economic interests of them.

They measure themselves against our economic standard.

It is, I think the seeds of destruction are sown before the rise of any nation even takes place. However China has planted a hell of a lot of seeds. Like the one child policy, made no sense when implemented and now it's going to cause HUGE problems.

Xi taking charge has also created new problems too that has slowed their economic rise, and the government is running out of money.

This is a key period for the West because if we operate correctly, take industries back from China, citizens may demand deep changes,.especially if Taiwan continues to thrive economically.

Their population is going to shrink, no question. the are prepared to see as much as a 500M person. That might actually assist their system in some ways especially if they raise the retirement age which today I believe is 60.

They have raised the retirement age recently, not as much as they could have, but I'd expect them to raise it many times in the next few years. In 10 or 20 years they'll have so many retired people they won't be able to afford pensions or healthcare.

But they'll still be able to afford more money for the military/

China more than likely will implode one day ...be no where near it when it does

This is the reality. Thanks to so many poor policies by the West, influenced no doubt by the MSS;.the West is going to face WWIII through the very nation we foolishly funded and armed. The world should.have recognized Taiwan.in the 1970s. China icreasingly speaks openly speaks about Taiwan being part of China because we didnt have a backbone. They speak as.if it was.just another state. When they took HK back early and without warning, it was a reminder of how weak the West and UN are to not confront them.

 

[Mac1958]

Peter Zeihan is a geopolitical consultant, and he's been saying for a long time that China is in the process of imploding due to its rapidly collapsing demographics.

This would be awful for most of its people, but definitely justice for its authoritarian leaders. They're one of our two biggest adversaries, so, sorry.

Authoritarian leadership is doomed to ultimately fail.

Well, Hong Kong wasn't a "taking it back early and without warning", it was a part of China and had been for a long time. The deal the UK made was saving face at best, a way of pretending the UK cared about the people and about freedoms of democracy (which ironically only existed for the final three or four years of HK being a part of the UK).

Taiwan is a strange situation because Taiwan believes that China and Taiwan should be united also.

The biggest problem for the US and western countries is they like money more than anything else. And China wanted to get rich.

The really big mistake would be (or, perhaps, is) to insist on dealing with the situation as if it were identical to the so-called cold war with the USSR.
