"#China’s baby bust is so dramatic, it’s accelerating a long-expected global population shift."

"A new report from the United Nations’ Department of Economic and Social Affairs released Monday puts China and India neck-and-neck in the population rankings. The UN estimates that China currently has 1.426 billion people, while India has 1.412 billion."

"But the UN predicts the two Asian countries will switch places next year—four years earlier than it previously predicted—and that #India will pull further ahead of China in the decades to come. By 2050, the UN predicts that India’s population will swell to 1.688 billion, making it far-and-away the world’s largest country by population. China’s population, in contrast, will shrink to 1.317 billion."

This is a critical time for the entire world. China sees this as it's moment and is unwilling to let history pass it by. This immense population shrinkage will coincide with a serious economic decline as there arre fewer people to service the aging population and fewer trained workers. China may become very, very unpleasant in it's death throes. Foreign adventurism and possibly attacking the primary competitors may seem a viable option to the Chicom leadership. We are in avery dangerous time.
