It was interfering in their ability to get quality drivers and side chicks.

Beware even video that purports to accurately represent something happening in China. I have severe doubts that the CCP has lost control over their state internet in Shanghai.

Interesting.

 

 

VIDEO: Is China Screwed?

 

 

A few highlights:

 

They were going shrink in half by 2100. “Then they realized that they had been overcounting people for some time.”

 

Then new data moved the date moved up to 2070.

And now they’re saying it will be 2050.

 

“For that to be true, the Chinese would have overcounted the population by 100 million.” And all of those missing people are of childbearing age.

 

Their population actually peaked 15 years ago.

Their window is almost closed.

And it isn’t like they’ve made friends the world over.  I’m sure there’s no influx of child-rearing immigrants flooding their shores.

Oh well.

Been saying this for a couple years now.  My belief is that Fauci-Wuhan virus was engineered (fact) to release at a later date "accidentally"/"from a wet market" to kill off their elderly population who will overwhelm their country in about 15 years (fact).

I wonder how many of the missing are due to China's one child policy and preference for boys over girls along with the common practice of infanticide?  A friend of mine and his wife couldn't have children.  They decided to adopt a couple of Chinese girls.  When they went to visit the adoption centers in China they found that they were full.....of little girls.  No boys, just girls!  They said the adoption was fairly painless because the girls weren't wanted anyway.

 

I wonder demographically how much this hurts China as well.  You certainly won't have enough females for every male so there will be a large single male population.  I can't believe all these single males are going to lead to a happy populace.  I would think this would severely restrict future population growth as well.

Virginia Democratic Senator Mark Warner Admits, “Trump Was Right”

 

According to WJLA-TV, a local ABC news affiliate based in Washington, D.C.:

 

“Top lawmakers on the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence are urging the Federal Trade Commission to formally investigate TikTok and its parent company.

‘Like so many of these social media platforms, there’s a good positive side, but there is a dark underbelly if exploited,’ Virginia U.S. Senator Mark Warner told 7News.”

 

“’This was one where President Trump was right,’ said Warner. ‘There was a challenge with TikTok and it has been one of the fastest growing companies in the whole world. And President Trump was right on this with it. This was a security threat. It was a privacy threat.’ Which is concerning for all TikTok users, including kids, Senator Warner warns.”

 

Let’s forget about the fact that President Trump was ‘right’ about most things, even though his style may have rubbed some folks the wrong way, and let’s just pause and take a minute to appreciate Sen. Warner’s candidness and honesty. And as Warner points out, the root cause of the issue isn’t the company itself, it’s the Chinese government.

 

“’TikTok is controlled by a Chinese company, Bytedance,’ said Warner. ‘Chinese law requires that any company in China owes its first allegiance to the Communist Party of China, not to the shareholders.’”

As China gains footholds in America, Congress is ‘sleeping at the wheel,' former Pentagon official says
Former top Pentagon staffer accuses Defense Department officials of downplaying Chinese threat to cover for 'incompetence,' 'complacency'

 

Congress must be "sleeping at the wheel" for allowing China to purchase nearly 200,000 acres of agricultural land on U.S. soil, a former top Air Force official told Fox News.

 

A Chinese food manufacturer, the Fufeng Group, recently purchased 370 acres of farmland 16 miles from the Grand Forks Air Force Base in North Dakota, which houses a highly sensitive drone program. Military officials and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle raised concerns after the purchase, but Nicolas Chaillan, who was previously the Air Force's chief software officer, said he has not seen Congress take action to stop such acquisitions.

Japan considers deploying long-range missiles to counter China: Report

China’s economy is slowing, its population aging. That could make it dangerous.

 

Two foreign policy scholars, Hal Brands of Johns Hopkins and Michael Beckley of Tufts, have offered a frightening thesis: China’s leaders know their power is about to diminish, and that will make them more likely to take risks in the short run — to invade Taiwan, for example.

 

China “is losing confidence that time is on its side,” they write in a recent book, “Danger Zone: The Coming Conflict With China.”

 

“China will have strong incentives to use force against its neighbors … even at risk of war with the United States,” they warn. The “moment of maximum danger,” they suggest, is this decade: the 2020s.
A chorus of other China scholars have disagreed.

 

First, they note, there’s no evidence that Xi or other leaders believe their power is declining; they continue to predict the rise of China and the decline of the West.

 

Even if China’s economy slows down, it will be growing — still the second-largest in the world.

 

“Countries can muddle along with a great deal of poor economic performance and still be a major force in international politics,” noted Aaron L. Friedberg of Princeton, author of “Getting China Wrong.”

 

Besides, Xi and other Chinese leaders have a strategy for solving their economic challenge, he argued. “They see advances in technology as the key to solving all their problems,” he told me. “That’s how they plan to achieve higher productivity and reasonably high economic growth.”

Weird. What you quoted from the article seems to say just the opposite of the headline you posted. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Did you read it? It clearly states its aging population could make china even more dangerous.
