Economy 52,845 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/china-population-decline-1.6716193 The numbers are in and look a little worse than first forecast. China had 850,000 fewer people by the end of 2022 vs 2021 China's population is expected to plummet going forward as birth rates remain very low and the population ages. Even tho China ended it's 1 child per couple policy in 2016, couples have chosen to remain having few or no children Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo for potential less hot Chinese men in the future but oh well I don't think there's a real specific number earth can sustain. Depends how much we consume and how Also 1 billion people in Europe/North America has more impact that 1 Billion ppl in China or definitely Africa So it really depends Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stef666 4,604 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Isn't this good news? China is overpopulated. Almost 1/4th of all humans live there. As long as the reason for its decline of population isn't something inhumane and is coming naturally, this is a win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FfFfFfFF 58,120 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 The beginning of the end (sadly, but I do believe this ). China's demographic collapse is going to be massive and destabile the whole country and like Russia it will start a war (over Taiwan), which effectively start WW3.

CELINE 747 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 China’s birth rate is actually now lower than Japan’s. They'll soon face a massive demographic time bomb with a large aging population. East Asia in general is currently in a rapid decline of population because of low birth rates. South Korea being the lowest (0.8 ) gotharunway.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's probably gonna be major reprocutions their economy that will spill over else where Also China may be super populated but their population on a per capita basis is not one of the world's biggest ecological foot printer The US with 1/4 their population by many measures consumes just as much as China Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OT: Maybe the issue isn’t just too many people on earth, but our systems not properly adjusting to it I kinda keep bringing this up cuz I strongly believe the argument of too much population is very oversimplified and maybe not as straight forward as it appears to most ppl The total number of ppl alone doesn't tell u the ecological impact. Some parts of the world consume WAY more than others. 100M ppl in Europe and North America will consume more than 1 Billion in Africa.... If we cut down earth's population by half and got rid of only the poorest 50% earth would still be in trouble. But getting rid of the 1 Billion highest consuming ones might actually do more As far as population number changes, The poorest Countries that consume the least also happen to be the ones with the fastest population growth rates. Africa is literally the fastest growing continent now And it also depends how and what we consume on. And what green techs we shift to as well I don't think we can really put a plain number on how many ppl is too much and how much consumption is too much. There's so many variables Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
