SaysWho? Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Overall, not many changes. The US population grew at its slowest rate since the 1930s. Winners and losers from first release of 2020 census data APNEWS.COM More than a year since the 2020 census began in a remote Alaska village, the first numbers to emerge from the nation's once-a-decade head count were released on Monday, showing how many congressional seats and Electoral College votes each state is getting based on its population. Because the number of seats in the House of Representatives is set at 435, it's a zero-sum game with one state's gain resulting in another state's loss — like a pie with...

Combine that with increasing affluence in the Chinese middle class which naturally delays the age at which people have children and ultimately whether they have them at all, and you have the recipe for a population disaster. The next 20 years in China are going to be very interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uaarkson Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 So basically, China spent decades and trillions of dollars building housing and infrastructure for a future population that doesn’t exist. What could possibly go wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What could possibly go wrong? The oversupply of housing is not the real problem; it’s the debt bubble that has developed alongside it. If it pops violently into a downward debt deflationary spiral a la US 2008 or Japan in the 1990s, China could be in for some real pain There is one *very very* big wild card, however, which is the fact that a massive amount of that debt is on the books of state-owned banks, i.e. essentially public. That might mean that China can simply forgive it without wiping out private banks and private creditors—and the latter is what more or less fuels great depressions. If it turns out that China can deflate the debt bubble without also destroying their economy, then the housing oversupply might not be an issue—it might just make housing cheap. As for the declining population growth...it can actually be interpreted as a good sign. Welcome to the middle income club, China—yes, we tend to have less babies. Don’t spoil it with another Cultural Revolution. Mr. Xi isn’t helping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everywhere had issues with nursing homes, Cuomo’s situation is only a scandal because of the attempted cover-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
