Do we know when a demographics related thread will be back up? I understand the last one was locked for good reason, but demographics are a key part of China and discussions related to demographics seem to be all over the place now.

I wouldn't trust most predictions that go past 2050, due to how fast technology evolves. With stuff like anti aging meds, robots, climate change and other unforeseen factors things could easily change for the worse or better. If climate doesn't mess China up too badly, demographics might be okay. If the next administrations are incompetent, then there is no hope.

Would it be a good strategy to establish a military base in Myanmar to protect oil and natural gas infrastructure? It could be a good way to prevent India or any nation from blockading Molucca. And if shit hits the fan in Myanmar Chinese soldiers could probably also gain good combat experience.

A lot of analysts say China's consumption is low when looking at the final Consumption per capita, but this number doesn't actually reflect the amount of quantities of things Chinese people consume since it measures consumption in terms of money spent. When looking at actual quantities (like how many appliances the average Chinese person buys, how much floor space of housing each Chinese person has) then Chinese consumption is still lower than in most developed economies, but the gap in consumption is usually much smaller than the final consumption per capita amount would indicate (Chinese people have almost the same amount of fridges per capita as the average French person, but actually consume more protein per capita).

Plus the fact China is a socialist country. Lots of services are provided by the state either free or at a low price. Chinese don’t have to spend lots of money on lawyers, doctors nor accountants either.

And I think this is the wrong thread to ask such question
