How China Will Crumble As World Power - The US Sun by CanadaOrBust(op): 2:56am On Jun 10
This is KARMA. All those decades of one-child policy, the blood of all those aborted children (and all the children never given a chance to exist) will never let China be truly great like US.

They thought once they lift the one-child policy women will go back to having many children. Didn't happen - women decided they liked having only one child.grin

Lesson: Women are doing us a favor having our children. If for one reason or another they decide to stop doing it, we are FINISHED!

CHINA’S superpower status could soon crumble – with its population on track to plummet by over a billion in the coming decades.

XI Jinping‘s regime is set to be exposed on the world stage as years of deceit, inflated numbers and worrying demographic shifts finally take their toll, experts warn.

Yi Fuxian, a leading critic of China’s one-child policy, has been exposing his home nation’s population woes for years.

In a bid to stifle his warnings, his work has been banned from bookshelves across China

Worrying statistics show that the population could drop from 1.4billion to 390 million in less than 75 year if China’s birth rates continue to plunge as death rates surge at their current rate.

A top Chinese demographer has accused Beijing of lying about how many people live in the country and warned even tyrant leader Xi is helpless to stop his nation’s eventual decline.

Professor Yi told The Sun: “Avoiding demographic and civilisation collapse requires nothing less than a social, economic, cultural, and political paradigm shift.”

“More than three decades of collective malfeasance by Chinese officials and demographers have so muddied the demographic data.

But Yi and many demographers believe this figure is on track to rapidly drop due to the high number of elderly Chinese citizens and falling birth rates.

As of 2026, the median age in China is around 40-years-old with an estimated 15 per cent of citizens being over 65-years-old.

“No one – not even top-level officials like President Xi Jinping – know the real numbers, and much less understand the severity of the demographic crisis.”

As of early 2026, China claims to have over 1.4 billion residents, per official national record.

These figures are around the average for a major world economy. But below the surface, the figures are a cause for concern.

China recorded a historic low in births in 2024, sitting at only 7.92 million – the lowest since 1939. Back then the population sat at just over 500 million.

These figures are around the average for a major world economy. But below the surface, the figures are a cause for concern.

China also has one of the lowest fertility rates in the world, at around just one birth per woman – far below the average replacement rate of 2.1 per woman.

Declining births is a trend which has worsened dramatically over time in China – with little sign of improving in the near future.

In a chilling prediction, Yi says: “Assuming China is lucky enough to stabilise its fertility rate at 1.0, its population will fall to 1.06 billion in 2050 and 390 million in 2100.”

IN 2016, China officially scrapped its one-child policy after decades of forcing families to only bring up one baby.
The sweeping program was first announced nationwide in 1980 in an attempt to curb rapid population growth as China neared a billion residents.


Families who violated the rules faced fines, loss of employment and were even subjected to forced abortions in severe cases.

Even still, Beijing continued to grow in size and by 2016 the population reached 1.4 billion.

But a worrying trend then started to appear as birth rates in China were on track to go into freefall due to the one-child policy.
The trend caused the government to quickly change its birth policies.
They allowed couples to have two children in 2016 before announcing a three-child policy in 2021 as the data continued to worsen.
The data ever since has shown that the updated allowances have proven fruitless.


Birth rates on average remain at around one child per woman with the population now falling year-on-year. 

Another major knock-on effect of the falling birth rates is the average age of residents shooting up.Current predictions state that if China continues on such a historic period of turmoil then 450 million people – around a third of its population – will be aged over 60 by 2035.

Government data from 2025 also shows China’s death rate rose to 8.04 per 1,000 people – the highest since 1968.

Yi says this population crisis all falls at the feet of Xi and his government.

“Chinese leaders need to wake up from their unrealistic ‘Chinese Dream’ of national rejuvenation,” he says.

“They must face up to the cruel demographic reality, and fix their fatal flaws to avoid the collapse of its population and civilisation.”

Yi claims the figures behind China’s population are all inflated for Beijing’s gain.

For decades, China was the biggest country on the planet and grew into a superpower partly due to their size. Nlfpmod, Seun

It is what will happen between now and then - STEADY decline of China. Just recently India overtook China as the world's most populous nation (despite Beijing’s inflated numbers! grin)

China cannot crumble! It is on track to be the super power!

With or without an inflated population, they have massively invested in human development which the country will continue to reap from forever.

The US government would even disagree with you because it’s the major hub of US manufacturing.

China already invested in the future with less than $20 trillion debt. They were able to invest in infrastructure, manufacturing, education , military and just name it.

Unlike the US AT $40 trillion where debt has already surpassed GDP with not even one speed train to show for it.

Let’s face fact, nothing is close to China as it stands today. Nothing is even near, and they ain’t stopping.

Did India do same? No! Indians are world traces outside their home.

You can google the data and present it!

Where was China 4 decades ago? Now they competitive in Infrastructure, energy, telecoms, automobile, IT, AI, Military, education, and anything you can think of.

Even the US knows China will nail its coffin in a free market.

Hate or like China, you cannot take away the tremendous growth and human development in last 4 decades. No country in their league.

Not just population. Demographics - too many old folks and not enough young people. Friend of mine recently went to China and said one thing surprised him was old people working all over the place.

Also, the entire China world power thing is based on population. That's why they can make massive amounts of stuff at ridiculous prices and can overwhelm any foe with massive number of people

So why are you interested in their downfall? What do you gain as a Nigerian from China’s downfall? China lifted more than 800 million of her people out of poverty in less than 30 years. This has never been done in human history. A country that moved from being dirt poor country to one of the most technology advanced country in the world in less than three decades. Instead of you looking at what they have done right and try to implement it, you are looking and happy for their downfall. I understand that the US government as the world leader are not happy to have a peer competitor in China but how does that help you and your family. Let’s image China crashes today, will that improve your life and that of your children? Just think about it and stop consuming news and information not meant for you.

Currently the weathiest Nation on Earth, China is already the current World Power, arming both Russia and Iran simultaneously is why Trump became gentle and went cap in hand to Xi.

Only a shameless western propaganda platform with obscene hypocrisy will call Xi tyrant when a blood thirsty and savage US President could wake up one day to martyr the Head of State of a country that is not at war with it yet such media didn't call Trump a tyrant.

To bring up your population takes time and its risks far outweigh the benefit of having uncontrolled population explosion.

Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait etc? Which one of them has immigration policies similar to that of the West?

So, you believe the story from a Chinese man supported by the west to call their leader a dictator. China’s breakneck speed development is unprecedented in the history of the world. FYI, Almost all advanced countries of the world are battling with “decline in population “. The west , especially the US just know how to fill the demographic gap by their visa- lottery programm.
