In a satellite Philippines immigration office earlier this week there seemed to be no shortage of Chinese citizens 😂

Plenty of young Chinese men, and a few women. One wonders if they are placed here specifically!

Indeed, but as a soothing remedy to any fear-porn we may have absorbed I think it is right to point out that men far outnumber women in China and so perhaps they have to travel to find a mate?

For sure! Chinese men marrying Filipina women are among the top group of expatriates finding spouses here... will.post those details later once the 2022 final vital statistics are released.

I have a much different view of population since reading Radu Cinamar's book, Forgotten Genesis, and listening to Apollymi Mandylion explain how she was ordered to extirminate most human, plant and animal life on Earth several times. This wasn't because the people were performing abominations so much as because experiments have time limits. According to both Apollymi and the Maya calendar, Earth's last cycle of 25,000 years is divided into five "great" cycles of approximately 5,000 years. The very last cycle before the whole solar system ascended to a higher vibrational frequency was supposed to end in 2012 (the year of the dragon), but for some reason was postponed to 2024 (the year of the dragon).

Now I understand that an entire civilization can be created from just one male and one female. Furthermore, because the akashic record (the alayavijnana) is forever, nothing created is ever lost -- ever.

Also, China Daily is publishing articles about China's efforts to balance its population and its economy. Remember, China was a great nation when it had 100 million people, and robots can produce many things, so a population reduction is a problem of balance. (And we are not even addressing China's colonies in outer space, another topic!)

Thanks for this. Absolutely population is about balance. Sudden changes in population cause imbalance. If they happen among young people iand people in their prime (this happens during war - we are at war), then there is major destabilization due to desettlement, loss of skills, loss of infrastructure / infrastructuremaintenance etc. Will read your article. Chinas population is top heavy, creating major stresses as just one child could end up having to support several generations of elders... of course, part of the solution is keeping people healthy, active, and independent for most of their lifespan.

China and India also practice female infanticide, so their sex ratio is skewed.

Youth unemployment is a problem in China, which is strange since the population is decreasing. You would think that unemployment would be low.

December's figures show that youths aged 16 to 24 and those aged between 25 and 29 face an unemployment rate of 14.9 percent and 6.1 percent, respectively, according to the bureau, while the nation's surveyed urban unemployment rate was 5.1 percent in that month.

The youth unemployment rate figures are based on an optimized calculation method, which can give a more precise and comprehensive picture of the younger generation's employment situation, Kang Yi, head of the bureau, said at a news conference in Beijing on Wednesday.

Prior to Wednesday, the NBS had halted the release of youth unemployment figures by age group in August, citing the need to optimize the survey method to reflect the ever-changing situation.

Kang said the NBS has excluded college students when calculating the unemployment rates of people aged 16 to 24 and 25 to 29.
