I dont like the way this guy is so sure about the future. I personally dont like so many of us on earth but I doubt his doom and gloom is accurate.
The solution for this is so easy to solve.
this guy is likely a three letter agency implant. I would take what he says with a grain of salt
Never realized that China was so resource depleted…
People think all of these externalities like climate change are existential threats to humanity but the dysfunctional reproductive response to these perceived threats is ironically the real danger.
So Chinese population is collapsing and, at the same time China doesn't have enough food. It seems that less population is good in that scenario, especially when one considers that farming doesn't require much human labour anymore.
2:45 Balance of children, young & mature workers
High cost of living, inflation, and feminism is going to destroy many countries if things don't get better. It may take many years to feel its effect but It will take many generations to solve this inevitable population crisis. It's wild to think that we may be living in a time that this may be the highest population the human race may ever have.
embrace population collapse…
Fascinating.
👍
I'm Nigerian living in Nigeria what he says about sub Saharan African countries having importation problems is true
Very interesting perspective.
what goes up…
We could send every southern border migrant (45 yrs old and younger) that crosses illegally to China. Population crisis solved.
I’m a big fan of Zeihan, but he’s saying that in 28 years, China will lose half its population. Seems unlikely
China's Gen Z population is about the same as their 60-65 population
When Britain sent the Macartney trade mission to China in 1793 to open up the China market, he took many British goods, including a luxurious carriage with independent suspension for the Emperor. The Chinese told Macartney to leave his carriage in a warehouse while he travelled on to Beijing. When Macartney returned a month later, he found two carriages, and he couldn't tell which was the original and which the Chinese copy. The Emperor wanted tribute, not trade, and Macartney was told that China had no need of English products, because they could duplicate whatever Britain produced.
I’m confused can’t you make natural fertilizer out of sorghum and banana peels and other composted fruits and vegetables?
When he compared China to great Britain where I am from it conjured up this image of the UK being analogous to an oak tree, slow steady growth and lives for a long time. China is more like bamboo. It grows incredibly fast but in comparison is rather short lived.
He sounds like Don Draper from Mad Men.
I always wondered what Christopher did after the Sopranos
I find this guy really pessimistic. Smile a little! 🦜🥳🚂
Why do you think they used a vector illness that killed the old 1st? Then insisted you took a procedure that affected your ability to procreate? Or educated you to believe you aren't who you thought you were? The Date of 2030 keeps cropping up. YOU are the carbon they want to get rid of.
Oh and by the way, our Sun will micronova in the 2040s
It's almost asif China has been listening to the wef
Chris, your show keeps getting better and better. Keep it up!
Is he sure about this???…
I'm sorry but this is a great thing. Sorry for the people for China, but it was cancer since the founding of the CCP.
Hell yeah, you got Zeihan on here.
Does anyone remember the Gipper? and his warning.
The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, "I"m from the Government and I'm here to help."
Sadly some people do seem destined to have to learn that one…the hard way.
Putin really did his homework. I always knew.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Maybe I'm dumb, but why can't the Chinese reverse the trend by enacting systems to encourage people to have more kids? Maybe tax incentives, direct payments, or government/cultural support?
Everything has to collapse, so why worry about it
This assumes that Chinese Pensioners don't get wiped out by another 'escaped' virus. Leaving no pensions to pay and instead lots of middle class workers.
Robotics and Automation will replace the worker shortage.
Keep up the content man, great volley of conversation. You are well on your way to the top
Well they made their bad so lay in it, guess that's what happens when you kill all your female babies and prioritise the males babies. Brilliant with your 1 child policy almost as good as killing all the sparrows.
Seeing China crash and burn in my life time, by golly what a treat starting to get the popcorn ready for now for 2050
Cool, now we just have to sit on our hands and wait until 2050.
