China needs immigrants

Yeah, well they need a new government first. How is that corrupt group of manchildren in charge going stop denigrating other races in the schools and in the media?

Don’t see many people lining up to voluntarily live under an authoritarian surveillance state any time soon, especially one so mistrustful and awkward around foreigners. Sounds like a job for the human traffickers.

No one in their right mind would visit, let alone immigrate, to China as long as it is under CCP dictatorship.

China in theory can get many immigrants since there are many ethnic Chinese in Indonesia and Malaysia who are unhappy with the racial policies of their own governments and look towards China as their motherland and protector, even if they have never been there.

But these ethnic Chinese prefer to migrate to the West instead of China. And they still support China wherever they live. It doesn't work out for China and doesn't work out for their host nations.

Chinese “officials boast of a single Chinese bloodline dating back thousands of years.” And that taps into a seemingly deep-rooted belief in racial purity held by many leaders

I think I have heard that kind of thing somewhere else before.

Yet, don't the Chinese also boast of having so many ethnic groups too, to burnish their "inclusiveness" credentials?

In any case, there are still more than enough Chinese for the world to continue to love and cherish for decades to come.

The CCP's hate campaigns against foreign countries is being taught in schools there. I saw a Chinese video recently about groups of young students in schools, some as young as 4/5 yrs old spewing out hatred towards Japan and the USA. I was horrible to watch, and these kids will grow up getting worse.

10 years left? Unreal. So much for whos taiwan

CCP looters and leaders gonna have to work on grow the pie.

China will need to increase tremendously in the next decade or so – to around 50 million, perhaps higher.

Haha, spare us that useless finger pointing. China has still one of the top populations even if it would be halved overnight. They have a history of many thousand years and seen other big empires coming and going. They’ll somehow manage that without problems, when we all in the Western world are already forgotten history. In short words, we should rather begin to think about our own not so bright and very short remaining future, instead of theirs.

China has changed dynasty many times in its history. In fact the average length of a dynasty is 70 years, so the CCP is overdue for an overthrow. Better to bet on the West with an actual political philosphy based on more than leader worship.

china needs...you.genius with patent for truth.

The people that China needs are mostly not going to be attracted to a dictatorship without civil liberties.

You do that. Although it's disheartening to hear that Germany has that short of a future. Take care, ne?

What's wrong?

Not enough ethnic minorities to jail for cheap labor ?

It might be a good idea to open tourism more, . . . so that prospective future residents get an idea of what living in China will be like . . . .

Yeeeaaaahhhh.... where I wonder???

If present trends continue, China is expected to lose more than a third of its 1.4 billion population. Some projections have the country dropping to a population of 800 million by the year 2100.

It'll drop much faster than 800 million by the year 2100. These numbers are far too optimistic.

This hypothesis, advanced by demographers in the early 2000s, holds that once a country’s fertility rate drops below 1.5 or 1.4 – and China’s is now at 1.2 – it is very difficult to increase it by a significant amount.

1.2 is already extremely low. And if the tang ping lying flat' movement picks up alongside the Let it rot movement even more, we could see a fertility rate similar to that of S Korea's which has dipped to below 1.

China is going to have to compete with wealthy nations that have low birth rates for the essential workers they need - places like Australia, Canada, the US etc. And the problem is this: why would someone from the Philippines or Indonesia willingly migrate to work in Communist China - to be monitored and treated with suspicion - and paid far less - than choose a Western nation?

Only the most desperate, unqualified and ignorant would ever choose to move to China.

Communist China is falling off a demographic cliff - and they created the problem themselves through Communism, disastrous social policies and the Great Leap Backwards.
