From WWSG speaker, Peter Zeihan:
China is facing a demographic crisis, but can immigration be used to counter it?
Countries like Canada and Germany have used immigration to bolster their shrinking workforces…with mixed success. China’s demographic problem is a degree of magnitude worse; the rapid industrialization, urban migration and one-child policy all led them down this path (and that birthrate is getting scary low). Immigration isn’t going to save the Chinese…unless they find a way to bring in 30 million young people annually.
So, China can expect a collapse in their workforce and societal coherence within a decade. Everyone else should get out their pen and paper and take notes on how this plays out, and start to prepare for what is to come.
