        So is China.

        China and all the governments in the world can do whatever they want and I’m still driving German cars powered by gasoline or renewable fuels.

          I mean I agree, china is behind the curve a bit but they’ll have the same demographic problems soon. It will get really interesting, I wonder if they’ll have internal unrest or try to keep the population together by looking for external enemies.

          But still, no reason to sundown the country that calls me a citizen and that most of my friends live in.

            China has a birth rate of one child per woman, Japan is at .7 last I read. Most of the developed world is sun downing but with Japans stance on immigration they’re in worse shape.

                I thought a lot of Europe could correct their decline through immigration once it started people started voting to remove them.

                Can a country as industrial and as large as China bring in enough people to combat the decline?
