B-Man Posted January 7, 2023 Posted January 7, 2023 CHINA IS FACING A COVID-19 ‘NUCLEAR WINTER’. THE CCP CAN’T STOP IT. Perhaps as many as 90% of China’s 1.41 billion people will come down with COVID-19, said Feng Zijian, former deputy chief of China’s Center for Disease Control and Prevention, to Bloomberg News. Feng predicts 60% of the population will be infected in the first wave. China did not have to wait long. There is now a fast-moving wave ripping through Beijing. The capital city was not prepared. “We have a child with a high fever but all the pharmacies are out of ibuprofen,” said a Beijing resident surnamed Lin to the Financial Times. “It came too fast, we didn’t have time to prepare.” Shortages are widespread. “Beijing is running out of medical supplies,” the London paper notes. The situation is so bad, Peking University’s Michael Pettis reports on Twitter, that Beijingers are thinking of deliberately exposing themselves to the disease, so they won’t get it later when the public health care system has completely broken down. There are also outbreaks across the country, including in Guangzhou, the capital of southern Guangdong province, the country’s factory floor. Some are calling the nationwide situation China’s “nuclear winter.” During the winter, the forecast is one million Covid deaths. Some estimate the toll could reach 2.1 million. The Communist Party, as a result, faces one of its most severe tests ever. https://www.19fortyfive.com/2022/12/china-is-facing-a-covid-19-nuclear-winter-the-ccp-cant-stop-it/
Tiberius Posted March 1, 2023 Author Posted March 1, 2023 There is a crazy demographic trend going on in China. The birth rate has plummeted dramatically https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/02/28/behind-china-collapse-birth-marriage-rates/ In 2016, before the plunge, Chinese fertilitywas already well below the replacement rate of around 2.1 children per woman, the level needed for population stability. The UNPD reckons that the 2016 rate was 1.77, or 19 percent below the stability target. The subsequent six-year Chinese birth swoon has dragged fertility down to an extraordinarily low level: If the 2022 birth tally is accurate, nationwide fertility would now be less than half the replacement rate. Even if the collapse is arrested and fertility remains at that level, each new generation in China will be less than half as large as the one before it. 2

Not new, this was predicted for years and why they changed the one child policy. people talk about our country being top heavy when boomer retire, it has nothing on chinas huge problems in that regard. and the world moving investment from china to other lower cost countries like India is only going to make that problem worse. 1

And that’s a shame! Glad we have immigration to make up the difference here
