The American propaganda outlets have been in full force this week warning about the population decline in China: https://www.rfa.org/english/news/china/china-birth-rates-plunge-12272023160425.html quote:Chinese censors deleted an article on Wednesday that reportedly leaked full-year population figures for 2023, revealing a plummeting birth rate despite ongoing efforts by the ruling party to encourage people to have families.

The guy who stabbed Lee Jae-Myeong yesterday was a 67yr old real estate broker. Living in Asan, just south of Camp Humphreys. Probably blames him and Moon for the poo poo real estate market atm. https://www.hani.co.kr/arti/area/yeongnam/1122721.html

Trabisnikof posted:actually it is the fault of the lockdowns! they made people too sad and low energy to gently caress The narrative seems to be now that "Chinese government blames women for not having babies and will begin forced birth policies". Where that comes from is a mystery, but its China so clearly they are going to create baby factories for their slave population.

Sorry if this has already been answered, but is there a short read anywhere that crisply summarizes where Marxist ideas fit (if anywhere) in Chinese state's planning and actions? I realize that this must be a very naive question.

Declining birthrates are pretty much a worldwide phenomenon and way under replacement fertility is endemic to the region, I dunno why people always insist on looking at it through a national lense. Oppressive authoritarian China and freedom loving democratic Japan have the same 'problem'(with Korea and Taiwan being even 'worse'). The oecd average is getting down near one and a half. Whatever marginal policies governments have just isn't very important in people's willingness and desire to have kids compared to huge sweeping forces like urbanization, contraceptives, rising educational attainment etc

crepeface posted:because western libs secretly believe in great replacement theory so they project it onto their enemies like all their other libidinal fears there's a local cycling/urbanist account I follow that, when encountering a news report saying that the Philippine fertility rate had gone from 3.5 in 2013, to 2.2 in 2022, posted: quote:An underdiscussed crisis in the making. For a country whose demography is touted as its strongest economic trait, this should be especially concerning. I found it weird not only because of what you mentioned as an underlying sentiment, but also because the bog-standard scratch-a-liberal take is that it's overpopulation that's keeping the Philippines poor and underdeveloped.

Low birth rate happened to literally every industrialized country. Like 100%. I just haven't come across a theory that predicts what will happen afterward. Maybe the rest of the world like India and Latin America will take turns to industrialize one by one. Maybe industrialization will split into high and end tiers. You have the countries that make robots, and countries that buy robots to manufacture things themselves. Maybe we will finally have loving lower work hour, slightly lowered.

Maybe we will finally have loving lower work hour, slightly lowered. this is already a thing: when people talk about how America still does a lot of manufacturing, a closer examination will reveal that a lot of it is very-high-end manufacturing, with the lower tiers down going to its various neo-colonies (as was the original intent of the post-Bretton Woods global order) [of course, China throws a spanner into the works, since it's covering the entire gamut]

Actually using labour saving technology to save labour rather than turn workplaces into all-day cabarets for the entertainment of middle managers is utterly unthinkable for capitalism brain, but nonetheless it's eventually coming.

US moved highend semiconductors to Taiwan and S Korea though. Intel only fab 10nm chips. They didn't want to pay for the cost of highend manufacturing engineers.

Like both parties don't really want or try to stop immigration and it's the only thing keeping America from demographic decline?
