This bc we now realize that China is screwed in the future - the Chinese population will be well under a billion people by 2100 - long before then the only thing their society will be able to do is deal with the problems that come from dropping 500 million people.

This is all bc of the 1 Child policy and it cannot be easily fixed - if it can be fixed at all.

China can only take Taiwan with the Millennials or Gen Z generations - Xi Jinping knows this and wants Taiwan to be part of his legacy.

Now is the best time to do this if they are ever going to. I've long been saying that it Trump is reelected that they will invade that January he takes office.

I hope you are wrong, but the Russian invasion of the Ukraine might support your view.

Russians have a terrible low fertility, integrating the Ukraine into Russia might have been a last shot at staying the ethnic majority in the country.

Update: Ih had stetes wrong numbers of the composition of the Russian population before, claiming that only 40 million of russias inhabitants were ethnic Russians.

The concern with shifting ethnic composition might be true never the less: https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/content-series/russia-tomorr...

I don't know where you get your statistics, but Russia's demographics is roughly 70% "ethnic russians," which amounts to about 100m people.

Do people like you see Nancy Pelosi standing at the foot of their bed like the Hat Man when they try to sleep or something?

Reverse Trump Derangement Syndrome? Why would that apply here? Pelosi's visit did kick off the whole process. The information is based on the U.S. liberal press and not Breitbart.

Biden at the time said she went on her own. Given everything that has happened since, it is not unreasonable to assume that she had more establishment support.

If you call that a "conspiracy theory": No it is just a theory. Citizens and journalists never get full information and are therefore forced to speculate. If they didn't do that, democracies would collapse.
