Accepted by who? The estimate of the decline I shared is already well in excess of what the U.N. themselves have been projecting. I’ve not seen anyone suggest their population will halve in the next 25 years.

In the long run, although it’s happening too slowly to avert climate change.

Re: China...A real threat to the World
Apologies - "Accepted" was a wrong choice of phrase. Reported and forecast would be more accurate. I'll try and dig out the report I saw which, IIRC, essentially summarised that demographic data out of China was unreliable, they are now issuing 'corrections' which downwardly adjust by the tens of millions (mainly females too), and the trend of these corrections (if to continue and be accurate) indicated that an almost halving of the population could occur at or around 2050.OyinbO wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2024 10:29 pmAccepted by who?

Here's a recent Reuters article setting out that recent UN predictions are for China's population to shrink by 109milion by 2050, and that the population aged 60 and over reached 296.97 million in 2023, about 21.1% of its total population. Obviously not as dramatic as losing 650million, but still beyond anything experienced in living memory and is going to have massive implications.

Thank you. I'd be very interested to see it.Dunners wrote: ↑Thu Jan 18, 2024 8:20 am I'll try and dig out the report I saw which, IIRC, essentially summarised that demographic data out of China was unreliable, they are now issuing 'corrections' which downwardly adjust by the tens of millions (mainly females too), and the trend of these corrections (if to continue and be accurate) indicated that an almost halving of the population could occur at or around 2050.

Re: China...A real threat to the World
Blimey. Ireland picking sides against the current US position and backing an totalitarian state with imperial and expansionist intentions.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out. It even has the potential to cause a bigger ripple than Ted Crilly putting that lampshade on his head. Also, does this end Ireland's claim to neutrality?

Swimmers were doped, but got away with it.
It is hard to trust any Olympic sports anymore.
