Subs wont enter into WW3, supersonic nuke missiles raining down will be the way we go out. After the economy has been collapsed, guns confiscated and food supply rationed.
Keep prepping people.

Yep, everyone is tooling up to face the Chinese threat. Allied nuclear subs stationed here from this year until our own eventually get online, airfields expanded to take US strategic bombers, big recruitment drive for the ADF, Japan and Taiwan tooling up fast as well. The longer the Chinese play the long game, the harder it will be for them to achieve their goals in the region. Despite the constant "they're still not ready yet" (China) commentary, I was convinced they would've gone way way earlier, I was wrong! Strategically China have farked up big time and I think Globally it's to our universal detriment, if it does kick off over Taiwan it's going to get really ugly now! |

Ugly for some, but it will look good on the 65 inch led flatscreen tv at my retreat.

One take on the AUKUS deal from sovereign defence/manufacturing perspective. I'm not sure if we can pull this off. We are the same as the poms, we trashed our own manufacturing ability with union over reach and a culture of Us vs Them between blue & white collar. The poms did it 20~30 before us and still cant make anything except F1 teams! What they do make (Jag, Mini, Rover etc) is heavily German influenced.
Would be a good time to work it out, the US is bringing all their manufacturing back home and will be done in 5 years, while European (which is nearly all I own) manufacturing will look a lot different (if it exists at all) in that time. Most of them will move to the US I'd say...a lot already are in the process. (BASF, BMW, Merc)

China's economy is crashing to the point they are calling in a lot of their belt and road loans. Or could they be forcing all these countries to hand over ownership of all the military grade projects they built like airports, ports etc to start strategically placing war goods?  |

China is finished, 100 years and kaput. Its birth rate is well below replacement, so it will die out. End of story. Maths doesn't lie, usually.....

Maths doesn't lie, but maths can be calculated incorrectly. Your statement would only be accurate if China's population diminished by 10% each and every year for 100 years. However, it is highly unlikely for any country to experience such a decline in population for such a sustained period of time. |

However, it is highly unlikely for any country to experience such a decline in population for such a sustained period of time. China's birthrate has steadily been decreasing for decades, went negative last year with more deaths than births. Chinas huge manufacturing empire was built on cheap labor from the rural areas as they moved to the big cities. NO more cheap labour from the rural areas. China is up to their eyeballs in debt, much worse than is publicly known. In 2008 they started endless infrastructure building to stimulate the economy, it has continued unabated now millions of empty apartments and high speed rail etc... Zerohedge headline today "China Dominates Among Cities With The Most Skyscrapers In 2023"China, ‘factory of the world,’ is losing more of its manufacturing and export dominance, latest data showswww.cnbc.com/2022/10/20/china-factory-of-the-world-is-losing-its-manufacturing-dominance.html#:~:text=State%20of%20Freight-,China%2C%20'factory%20of%20the%20world%2C'%20is%20losing%20more,export%20dominance%2C%20latest%20data%20shows&text=The%20latest%20data%20in%20the,Bangladesh%2C%20India%2C%20and%20Taiwan. The latest data in the CNBC Supply Chain Heat Map shows China is losing more manufacturing to Vietnam, Malaysia, Bangladesh, India, and Taiwan.Here's why China's population dropped for the first time in decades
www.npr.org/2023/01/17/1149453055/china-records-1st-population-fall-in-decades-as-births-drop#:~:text=China's%20infamous%20one%2Dchild%20policy%20limited%20births%20for%20decades&text=Last%20year%2C%20China%20saw%20more,while%209.56%20million%20were%20born China's infamous one-child policy limited births for decades
China's fertility rates were already decreasing in the 1970s, and by 1980 the Chinese government formally instituted the controversial one-child policy, legally restricting families from having more than one baby. The policy was intended to further limit China's population growth and help stimulate an economic boom.
Ultimately it resulted in low fertility rates and a large aging population. Last year, China saw more deaths than births, according to government data publicized this week. Officials said 10.41 million people died while 9.56 million were born. |

Ahh, but grasshopper, you forget, its not a linear progression downhill, it starts slow and speeds up as more people die in old age. That's called "non linear regression". Its even probably a logarithmic progression down that hill.
Anyway, this old worlds only got at most a 1/2 dozen years left, so it wont matter a jot.

Your statement would only be accurate if China's population diminished by 10% each and every year for 100 years. However, it is highly unlikely for any country to experience such a decline in population for such a sustained period of time. There are issues in demographics that effect a country more than just population decline, like having more older people - where the younger people have to support an ageing demographic and you dont have many young people coming through to do it! This is catastrophic to a country where the elders drain the resources and add nothing. Its not linear either...
This why we are opening the flood gates to immigrants, the same thing is happening here to a lesser degree.
