In a recent interview, Zhang Jiadun, an expert on China and author of the book “China’s Impending Collapse,” said that China under the Chinese Communist Party has two major problems: the economy is in trouble and the population is in trouble. At present, China’s population is more than four times that of the United States, but by the end of this century, it is feared that it will be even smaller than the United States.
In an interview with Fox News host Martha MacCallum on Thursday, March 4, Chinese American author Eric Chang was asked what she thought of the popular saying, “The West is going downhill and the Chinese Communist Party is going up”.
Zhang Jiadun said there are two major problems in the Communist-controlled mainland: one is demographic and the other is economic. “If the mainland cannot achieve its goal of catching up with the U.S. in the next five years, its unlikely to catch up and surpass the U.S. again.”
He said Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping has realized there is a problem with the economy. The Communist Party has lost opportunities for rapid growth because of its economic problems. More importantly, there is also a demographic situation in China.
“China’s population is now four times that of the United States,” said Zhang Jiadun, “and by the end of the century, I’m afraid the population will become smaller than the U.S. This is the biggest demographic collapse in the history of demographics, not because of war or disease.”
He said this is because there are too many natural and man-made disasters in the mainland under the Chinese Communist Party, as well as large-scale infectious diseases like the Chinese Communist virus (New Crown Pneumonia). Regardless of the CCP’s cover-up, the mainland’s population is still declining dramatically.
In addition to Zhang Jiadun, Yi Fuxian, a University of Wisconsin-Madison expert on China’s population, published an article in Social Science Forum last November, “Simulation Analysis of the 2020 Census,” saying that China’s population data is also falsified and that many major decisions are based on faulty data.
He said that the total population of China in 2020 should be 1.26 billion, not 1.4 billion as officially announced by the Chinese Communist Party. But more serious in his view is that China’s fertility rate has been below the natural replacement level since 1991, and the total population is on a downward trend.
In his article “Worse than Japan: How China’s looming demographic crisis will destroy its economic Dreams” published in the South China Morning Post in 2019, Yifu Yin also predicted that China’s economy will never surpass that of the United States. According to the article, the Chinese Communist Party’s one-child Family planning and birth rate flooding have caused China’s population to plummet and age rapidly.
The Communist Party’s National Bureau of Statistics released national population figures in 2020: by the end of 2019 it had surpassed 1.4 billion, with 715 million men and 684 million women, and a male to female ratio of 104.5:100.
The number of births in China has plummeted by 30% in the last four years.
An article by Indian economist Shailendra Raj Mehta in The Indian Express last year pointed out that these figures are a mirage, and that the Chinese Communist Party has not only falsified population figures on a large scale, but also fudged the gender ratio to conceal a looming demographic crisis.
According to Mehta, the CCP has not only misrepresented the population in recent years to maintain its status as the “world’s most populous country,” but also attempted to conceal a serious imbalance in the sex ratio and a rapidly declining labor force. Mehta predicts that China’s demographic problems will inevitably come to the surface within a decade.
Based on data from the Communist Party’s National Bureau of Statistics, Mehta traced 35 years of China’s birth sex ratios and found clear contradictions in these data. For example, in 1982, for every 100 female babies born in China, 108 male babies were born, with eight more male babies than female babies.
Yet by 2019, official Chinese Communist Party statistics show only 4.5 percent more male babies than female babies! This absurdity is obvious, Mehta notes.
In addition, China’s 2000 census showed 90.15 million people in the 5 to 10 age group. 15 years later, this group would be between 20 and 25 years old, but in 2015 the figure was 130.31 million, a bizarre increase of more than 10 million people.
Mehta, speculating on the basis of a 2018 proportional study, estimates that the Communist Party may have officially floated 23.23 million phantom people, with 9.8 million men and 13.35 million women. Mehta noted that China’s desire to become a dominant force in the world despite facing a demographic crisis will end in tragedy.
An official report released by the Communist Party of China (CPC) on the 8th revealed that only 10.035 million babies will be born in China in 2020. Compared to 2016, the number of births in China has plummeted by 30 percent in the past four years.
According to Feinian Chen, a sociologist at the University of Maryland who studies population development, if the fertility rate continues to decline in the future, the pressure of an aging population will follow, which will not only affect the economy, but also create social problems such as caring for the elderly population. Even if the government intends to save the fertility rate, it will not help for now.
