Google will move from candy names to suppressed minorities on new Android version releases. Android 14 will be the "Uighur" edition with giant inflatable Uighur in front of Google campus. Huawei's HarmonyOS versions will be named after different Xiist thoughts.

China and Pakistan are close allies if "not in position to comment" it's actually support behind close doors

I don't know where to post it so I will post it here, since this thread has more goons with Chinese background.

Anybody want to comment on the fact that the 4 Chinese majority societies (outside of China) have the worst total fertility rate out of the whole world? Couple that with the fact that China has always have the highest population (probably since the recorded history), this just blows my mind.

BTW China is ranked 182 with 1.6 child birth per woman.
US is ranked 143 and 1.87

You know how the western media like to do vanity reports of the Japanese low birth rate and the "haha" ways the Japanese government do to make the Japanese have more baby. But you never hear report of Taiwanese and Singaporean baby apocalypse? I guess they don't fit the exotic oriental type?

And what's strange is you rare hear the Taiwanese worry about it. It's not so much of a problem for Singapore because its has good immigration policy and the people are used to ethnic diversity; it's not a problem for HK and Macau because they are just part of bigger economy and doesn't have to worry about the sovereign wealth fund going bankrupt. But Taiwan is a self contained economy they have to worry about such things! Also TW's cost of living and quality of life are not nearly as bad as HK I don't know why they don't have more babies. I don't remember the last time any of the presidential candidates bring up this subject.

Expressed a different way, Hong Kong's birth rate is 11 per 1000 people, while NYC's is 13.6. When you take a city state in isolation from the rest of the country it tends to skew statistics.

1. They do bring it up, a part of Tsai's campaign promises was for more maternity and paternity leave
2. It is seen as a problem
3. Wages have not gone up for 20 years, which coincidentally is when the birth rate plummets (really bad after 89 and 97)
