Ffs, 1.39 million gone and that was the number confirmed by the CPC’s bureau for statistics…
Even in the optimistic case where the death toll remains flat, the country is going to lose over hundred and four million people by the end of century. Already entire villages and streets within the big cities are emptying out and the population loss is too large for immigration from anywhere to repair the damage.
You can tell me all you want about this not being too bad, but this level of death is going to cause supply chain and social shocks that will lead to excess deaths and arbitrary stress among the survivors.
>>2196746Fewer people = more available resources = more room for growth = more people = less available resources = less room for growth = fewer people
That is the natural way of things and any system that fights against this will fail.
We should not push for unsustainable population growth nor should we engage in depopulation.

Motherfucker were not here to stroke your ego. There’s a problem and I care more for china than your bootlicking ass ever will. These people are facing an existential problem brought prematurely and it’s becoming hard to ignore

Feudalism -> Capitalism
>>2197115Damn, China has a fertility rate lower than Japan, 0.9
! ? that's in the top 5 worst. Chiba will soon become an old country of retarded, full of debt, and no one to work to pay that off…
>>2197103It doesn't matter, dude. You know full well that if push comes to shove, communists will be the first ones to implement artificial wombs with social welfare good enough to make those kids productive members of society happy with their upbringing. Capitalists will first try to cheap out on this by inviting migrants en masse, then they will make religious minority donors living on welfare like ones in Israel or Mormons, who will be donating population that's horrified and scarred about their relatives still living in medieval horror ways, then they'll implement artificial wombs and make kids suffer enormous amounts of debts heaved on them, etc etc
You know full well how it will work out. China seems to be frightened by post-COVID total fertility rates, but not to the point of panic or anything. They just gave full support to motherhood without putting women into cages or banning contraception or the like. Normal fucking behaviour. And you, being a westoid yourself, know full fucking well what your government would have done in such a situation
>>2197207USSR didn't solve the birthrate issue, though it kept TFR close to 2.1
Is there really a need to solve it, though? Not talking about sterilizing everybody or anything, just saying, should people really sacrifice their well-being for creating kids so that their capitalist overlords can profit in comfort?
>>2197257the only places left with positive birthrates are being rapidly developed by chinas belt and road. pretty soon there won't be any immigration to the rich countries at all. this is why porky purposefully kept parts of the world underdeveloped until they couldn't sustain it
