China has huge ambitions for the 21st century. But it’s demographic problems will be a significant challenge on the way there.
This includes a paid sponsored promotion which had no part in the writing, editing, or production of the rest of the video.

Demographic explanations are inspired in part by several chapters of “The Accidental Superpower” by Peter Zeihan. It’s a great book and although this video is only a small slice (and not the main argument), it’s very interesting and worth reading. He’s the source of a couple specific phrasings like “countries can’t manufacture 18 year olds” which I think help explain the issue well.

Yea..you sound insane and in need of a re-education camp. This World needs more people, like a butt needs a hemorrhoid!
ty
nowadays more and more people refuse to get married or have child，because it's too expensive to live
I don't really understand what the problem is. China needs more children and are willing to write checks for them? Fine. Then write checks to hire state-workers to care for children, grow children in a lab, and hand them off to be raised by the paid state workers, where they will be raised in a specific way to be productive earners, exactly in the mold that China would want. They are the one country that would *A)* have few moral objections to a project like this *B)* have the sweeping political power to implement this on a whim.
@@potcha Well this idea isn't new. You've just described the plot of the novel 'Brave new World'.
@@Trabi_aus_der_DDR I don't know if its as dystopian as all that. Closer to Enders Game than brave new world.
@Justin Zhao That's true everywhere. Women are waiting for men to make a move. Men are too timid.
@Justin Zhao Thank you for your response--very interesting. 'Nerd culture'. That's an excellent phrase. Unfortunately, 'nerd culture' is a worldwide trend. Too many men are stuck behind their computer all day. They have forgotten that women LIKE to be approached.
I was a child from the policy. When I was younger I always wanted a sibling, but I never understood why I couldn’t. As I’ve grown up I learned many things from the internet. Never expected that this one Law had changed and moulded my life so much.

"Children have become more of a liability - the kind that screams, cries and generates student loan debt"
That makes me sad
Aisha Abdi lol my mom had 5 kids and as an adult old enough to realistically start a family ...I am definitely NOT having that many kids. It’s just financially feasible. I have no idea how my parents did it. I just no I won’t 🤷🏽♀️
@@dinkyboss Many things were cheaper before, including college.... Few decades go you could pay college tuition with part-time jobs... nowadays you have to work full time and live with your parents if you want to pay it in at least 1 and a half year and that is if ur annual tuition is about 15k USD (4 years institution) oh and I am not including the interest rate just the raw cost of the college tuition...
American Children are intentionally targeted for sterilization by e-cigs / vapes / juuls - as the heavy nicotine addiction kills off testicles and sperm and damages ovaries and cervix tissues. If they survive that, they can dodge the deadly toxins and abortion cancer DNA loaded into vaccine shots: vaccines containing Abortion DNA and 560 cancers .
More information on how American Children are being poisoned by toxic DNA injections and genocided to death on
vaccine . news website, article : medical horror genetic sequencing vaccines mrc 5 cancer genes modified
To Survive on Earth: first children must have parents clean from drugs and toxins and tobacco, then they must not be born in a hospital, where they will immediately be injected with vaccines, then grow up far away from Economic Genocide plans. Homes prices are over $300,000 while income has remained flat - homeless children are everywhere because the system wants everyone dead. People feeling these pressures but not understanding how they are failing and how they are being intentionally killed off - they despair and commit suicide in record breaking levels.
They are killing us off with economics, e-cigs, vapes, vaccines, and sterility.
I wonder if this is what will eventually kill us, we will become so technologically advanced we will stop having kids...

Haha well then....someone here spends a lot of time at infowars
Thinking mentality of almost everyone in China:
I can only have one child and I want it to be a boy. In the future I want him to be married to a beautiful girl.
Sure there would be those who favor boys but EVERYONE? No way.
@@scarlettli8885 "almost everyone"
I consider chinese preference of new-born boys as a remaining of agricultral society. Had to admit that we have just stepped out from an agricultural society for a few decades. families used to need to have enough men to fight (yes, physically) against other families and villages. and many people have not step out of that sterotype. people used RPGs and rifles to fight against other villages even in 1980s. and 20 years before that, during the cultural revolution, people robbed local army and they fought with tanks and warships. every man received military training because we believed Soviet Union were about to invade us. so guess how hard it would be to make one change mind of preferring male if he or she was brought up in such a crazy society. that is also the reason why our people are so willing to give up our right of owning guns.
And now it is reversed.young couples prefer a girl baby.because it costs too much to support a boy.

Thank you!! I thought it was just me that noticed that! 😂😂

Breh, i didn't even realise i was watching the promotion until halfway through his explanation.
I thought you meant the first one that was at the very start of the video.
I was adopted from China when I was a few months old. My parents told me I was left on the doorstep of a factory. One can only assume it was because of the one child policy or because I was a girl. The boys carry on the family name. Jokes on them, you still need women to have children!
@Srbistanik 01 they would have no choice. If they won't kill their babies the govt would have killed them.☹☹☹
Moiz Ahmed no honey. Parents would have to pay the fine and they’ll be ok.
@@布小丁-g5l yes i know. I have not said that in literal meaning. I just meant the same thing you said. The rich people had no problem in paying child tax but what about the poor worker. Nobody wants to kill their beloved child but unfortunately bc of the pressure of govt they had to do this.☹☹😭
Its not that simple. Many Chinese families at that time were rural farmers, and they needed more hands to work in the fields as a matter of pragmatism. Chinese culture (and many other cultures all over the world) have the sons carry on the family name, whether its in the West or in the Middle East.
Yeah, _both_ genders are _equally_ important.
However, maybe you were a *second* child?
Either way, I fell bad for you, but I hope your adoptive parents are caring!
Anyways, God Bless!

@@AS-do6pr Many european countries are currently struggling with a shrinking population problem and a low fertility rate, especially in countries like Germany, Bulgaria, Ukraine, the Baltics, the Balkans, Russia and Hungary.
This problem is easily fixed if you go to a capitalization system of retirement, and stop inflation, because both the repartition system of retirement and inflation are just big Ponzi's schemes.
the problem in europe are young people are taxed to death so europeans decided to just not get married and not have kids ..too expensive...so the government instead of lowering taxes , they brought in foreigners and gave them tons of welfare in the hopes they will contribute to society...ha this is not going to end well

there's no point of having children if u can't afford it
Here where I live no one will ever afford a child. If you have support from family or friends then I would at least have one child so you can experience having a bundle of joy and love and a gift from god . Money gets in the way of everything uggh
Binh ane I get what you're saying but life is too short to not get to experience a child until you can afford one .
I agree. It just makes the child grow up wanting for more and more. You can't even give them top education from a good school and they'll grow up hating themselves while their other friends get higher education in top universities
@@makenna6091 But think about the child's life. Why would you bring it into this world without the support it needs?
@@khushigill8651lmao I just said if the child has support from family or other sources to apply for that help poor families and what not then it's worth it
"Countries don't care about individuals". Indeed.
yea
In short, China realized it must end one child policy, before one child policy end China ..
Am I right? Wkwkwkwkw

But in America, money is the reason why people don't want/can't have children.
Babies cost too much money.
Also wanting their own free time, not wanting to pass on bad genetics and overpopulation issues.....the list goes on!
@IKSDE XD well people do get money from government during income tax for having kids if they dont make much money anyways. Also there's girls who go to school sometimes free or with scholarships offered just because they reproduced early 🙄
Its also a bad thing since in my case a 3.8 gpa still doesnt get me any money for college while a girl who has worse grades than me and decided to have a kid, gets offered money. My mom says "my daughters are very smart, have to work while taking classes while these other girls get pregnant and yet they get money to attend college but mine dont?"
IKSDE XD What country is that???!
@@ND001X the U.S.
When people apply for financial aid they can claim theyre independent of their parents if they have a kid, and they get money for college

Thats not heart breaking its just there way of life ; its different from what many would be used to and might seem lonely but its just how they feel , no one is forcing them to do that or think that way so how can it be heartbreaking . its a way of life and some find it more heart breaking to have the westerish globalized culture that some people are familiar with that promoted consumerism and indulgent pleasures .

The good thing is though that old people in China NEVER RETIRE
In America we don't retire anymore either! LOL
Next step is to delay retirement age.
That means there are less jobs for young people.
Which means young people have less money.
And then they are even less likely to have children
Not only the problem wasn't solved, but you made young and old people more miserable
Make sense to some extent, but still, the problems are way too complicated.
LagiNaLangAko23 Sadly, not yet in China right now, basically, the financial burden is holding government back to do this. So for now, it's grandparents to take care of children if the parent both have works; or traditional way, one to earn money, one to mind homeworks, this also leads to the gap between different genders.
@@sebastiandreak1462 it's upto individual to decide also wage gap is myth how can women in general make the same amount as men when they chose different career.
hey that sounds like italy LUL
When you add mowadays most wages are slave wages & with increasing living costs those people on minimum wages will have to get another job just to sustain themselves. Which means again less jobs for young people. 😑
This then means more youth crime, violence & ultimately terrorism.
Chinese here ... watched your other video on the housing crisis and it’s pretty accurate.
I would say expensive housing, overpriced education (private kindergarten is $25k per year.. because of the HUKOU thing a lot of parents have to send their children to private school in bigger cities), people do work long hours without overtime pay (the infamous 996 shift: 12 hours shift from 9 am to 9 pm and 6 days a week). And actually a lot of women suffer from infertility now :( that’s sad. But all those reasons are pretty much why.
it is a natual thing after life level rise. japan/korea also have fertility rate problem now. It's a problem, but less worse than situation like india, without any control. people just live under poverty continuously.
women suffer from infertility at higher rates now because they choose to have babies in their 30s and 40's where the chance of a miscarriage are much higher.
@@keeganmoonshine7183 yes, that's one of reason too. more education/richer societies -> less intention to have kids, this exists in lots of developed countries. african, indian....have higher birth rate. China has similar case, intention of have babies (2+) fades steadily.
there is no point in having children, it's a JOB where YOU pay to work. pathetic

In the U.S., we don't take care of our elders. Problem solved. Ok, I'm being a bit sarcastic.

I was adopted from China when I was only a few months old; my mom said that the orphanage found me in front of a government building at only a few days old. I have no hate for my birth mother but have always wondered exactly why. I know that it was likely that it was because I am a girl and boys are more favorable so as to carry on the family line.

It was that terrible law that caused that to happen to you. I’m sure you birthmother thinks about you every day and longs to know how you are doing even more then you wonder about her.

Children have always been a liability. It's only now becoming more obvious cos the little utility they had as labour, no longer exists
@God nerfed me or... have a kid or two and a pet, and enjoy your life. Sure, kids cost a ton, they only respect you until: they are 11(girls) or 13(boys). Then break your heart with their poor decision making, then break your savings with poor education decisions. The plus side is immeasurable however, children are part of our life cycle, they complete us. I’m referring to biology and psychology, men and women, our bodies release hormones to steer our emotions to guide us as parents. It is difficult to explain, but people simply can’t understand it without having experienced it. I truly feel sad for people who can’t, or won’t have children. Pets are great, but they’re not kids...

Having more than 2 children is already being discouraged. After 2005, such people are not going to get a government job. India is still developing though and we have the second most numerous Muslim population so it'd take time for it to come down but it will one day either due to excess competition, depression, famine or just total economic slowdown.

No, our much maligned millennial population (I'm the first and oldest of the Millennial's at the age of 35) are the largest population and working block. There is still a lot of immigration to this country, making up for women in the workforce and deciding to have one, two, or no kids. America actually really has our population covered and we really did dodge a huge bullet with our population purely by chance. I'm not saying we planned it or anything, it was pure sheer luck this time. However, Japan, all of Europe and China are gonna crash hard on their populations. Maybe America can become a beacon of hope for humanity still, just maybe. Ps, screw all the goddamn people that I'm talking about whites only! We have a very diverse population with many people from all over the world still coming here, so something has got to still be a little bright. I don't want anyone on this Earth to suffer these huge changes, and if I had the power to fix the ills on this planet, I would absolutely spread the wealth to keep humanity going. I guess I'm one of the few last optimists that still believe everyone can work together and hopefully work our species to the stars. It sounds corny, but I can still dream of a hopeful future, the thought police can f**k themselves on this one.
61gisele most of them also voted for brexit. Funnily enough, they also want to retire to Spain after Brexit leaving the next generation to endure the consequences.

Exactly! I work with a few women who are currently "retired" yet they had to come back to work to pay for food and stuff.
That sponsor transition was smooth as hell
One of the best non biased video about China on TH-cam. Perhaps you have missed another major factor which is property price is crazy high in major cities compare to average Chinese income. Couples often got put off getting married or having children, even separated because of their current housing situation. I hope you are interested in having a discussion on this topic

When citizens of a country see children as a liability, that country is likely only a generation or two from financial ruin.
Look at the US now.....

@@Aagggyy The United States views children as liabilities, look all the abortions. Now we've crossed into realm of starting to allow post term abortions.

One child policy = no brothers/sisters or uncles/aunts or nephews/nieces.
shekinah rain Jesus that’s so weird
@@katiem3809, weird for you. I come from a family like that and the opposite is weird for me.
So? Yeah lets have 10 more children and fuck society
That is very very problem when you don't have any brother or sister , china is crazy people even western countries, one child policy is big problem even two child policy at least you have 2 or more siblings that is best solution
Exactly! Creepy, right? A society without family! Once your parents are dead, there is no one left on the planet that feels connected to you more than to his/her neighbour or colleague. Also, there is noone to help you care for your parents when they get old. No cousins, no siblings. Every one has to take care of 2 adults and has zero time left to help each other do it. Which means that the care for elderly is taken over by the state, inevitably. Creepy fucking situation.
Not going to lie. This is really interesting.
Dirty...
Learning about this in school and I agree
Learnt about this 3 years ago
Why would you lie?
The video hardly talked at all about the One Child Policy, maybe about 1-2 minutes out of the whole 11 minutes video.
China:has one child policy
Also China: wonders why all their new cities are basically empty
@Jake from state farm technically it's the sexist parent's fault, not china's.but the one-child policy may have helped.
still not empty at all, people are everywhere
@Jake from state farm That's why i never will agree for 1 child policy bcoz i know government can change people behaviours but not theirs way of thinking. child policy must be flexible to some extent in oder to work smoothly and now mens are way more than women in china.
@Jake from state farm 移民解决问题。
@Jake from state farm my Chinese grandparents were kinda poor, they worked in the fields because yk, China was and still today is a developing country and they really needed manual labor to work the fields so they decided to have 3 sons, even tho women are useful in other ways, they can't do intense physical labor due to biologica differences and they couldn't afford to raise daughters
So its not a matter of misogynism imo
Obviously i do realize that times have changed and physical labor is less needed now
I am a Taiwanese living in US. Since I moved to US I have encountered many, many Chinese girls who were adopted by American. Every time I look at them, I can't help but think if
they were boys, they would be kept by their biological parents, which
means they would probably turn out to be a wifeless farmer. And now because their parents toss them to rich American, these girls' life could be much brighter than a wifeless farmer......
Taiwanese like to backstabbing mainlander. Please.... don't. Shame on you.
That's a little rude to assume their life would be better without China. Plus lots of people just don't get married, and for the ones who do want to get married there are like 8 billion people on the planet, so it's not like they live in outer space. I would choose my poor ass mother over a rich family any day, even if it meant that I was destined to be a farmer who has a hard time getting a spouse. Taking someone from their culture and way of life can screw people up for generations, just look at the residential school system. The last one closed in the mid 90's and yet families are still messed up from that shit to this day. Please don't fall for the western way of thinking that everyone has to be more, do more, and have more. Many of us will live simple lives, and that's okay! :)
HotCrazyCatLady Me that was typical Taiwanese will do: try their best to backstabbing. While in reality i believed the life is actually easier and higher quality in mainland right now. (jealousy?) The real reason for this gender problem is the Ultrasonography and selective abortion if the parents found a female (it’s illegal for hospital to tell the parents what the gender is for their baby but ...) Things have became much better because ideas about male and female have changed a lot. not really the one child policy
interesting perspective, it didnt occur to me. im sorry that some of the people who've commented on your comment are responding with nationalist rhetoric.
that's super interesting; never thought about it that way

Only ages 45-65 are saving for retirement? That's worrying
Why does that surprise you??
Every country is the same
It probably does not count the house people bought before that period and which they might sell and downsize during retirement.
Jacob Johnson your right except with using sales as the example since most sales is based heavily on commission and older sales people usually have a much richer/older network of customers.
It's not only, they're just the biggest savers. 18-45 are putting more into paying off debt and living a decent life.
One of the cleanest transition into a promotion ive ever seen
One child policy was more accurately "One boy policy".
Unpopular opinion that’s more about traditions and old school mindset than about policy, but yea it is pretty bad.
But as the video says, groups of people are predictable and the goverment should have seen it would lead to that.
0Clewi0 yea, the government does have laws in place like when having a pregnancy exam (late stage) the doctor is by law forbidden to inform the parents about the sex of the child. Also abandoning a child (such as girl infant) has really heavy punishment (up to death penalty) because it is man slaughter/murder against minors. Although it didn’t stop people from doing those practices because how uneducated most people were back in the days. It is however rare now days especially in the cities, where people are much more educated than before.
in some cases it's a lot worse... it's also "murder baby girls policy".
Erin Chen also they would have less reason as women have more work opportunities than in the past.
Some still wants to have one child, I read an article from TIME several weeks ago, a lady said that they still want to have one child-her only daughter. She also mentioned that she have witnessed many children after their parents death. May sibling fought the fortunes which is very ugly. Thus she prefer to have only one child-all their fortune is only leave to her daughter.
I misread the title as "Why China Ended its One-China Policy".
Can't blame you; China has: "One China Policy", "One Child Policy", "One Belt, One Road Initiative", & "One Veto Rule"
Also the one country, two systems thing
Which doesn't count Macau or the Special Economic Zones, neither of which works quite like Hong Kong.

Not to forget the one time zone

The actual problem in China isn't the population, it's the lack of memes
SamiDaOne they’re horrible at creative thinking (literally)
Garette hurtful but truthful
Garette sounds very racist.
Oh they have memes, inside the firewall.
They have indeed a lot of memes. Check out the news site sixthtone.com which reports about the latest memes from time to time.
When my parent met my mother didn't reach the age requirement to have a baby, after two abortions my father decided that they will pay the fine instead and kept the child, that's how I'm here, if not for his decision I would've been aborted like the two siblings before me.
With or without this policy the chances of me coming to world is extremely slim, pretty amazing when I think of it.
Age requirement? so your mother was underage?
Wtf,this is really sad
Lol nice transition from 1 child to promoting not having 1 password...

CedarHunt China has not collapsed in the last few thousand years
@@Phantom-bh5ru China hasn't existed in it's current form for even a hundred years. Or are we also giving Italy credit for things the Roman Empire did?
The CCP doesn't get to destroy Chinese history and culture and drive out the real Chinese government then pretend that they're a continuation of what they destroyed. That's absurd. China today is a cadaver that the CCP has been rolling around "weekend at bernies" style hoping nobody will notice.
Automation is going to lose people jobs. Losing jobs means no money. No money means nothing to feed children.
+CedarHunt China has 5000 years of history and is among the world's oldest 'continuous' civilization still alive today, whereas other great ancient civilizations like Mesopotamia, Rome and Egypt have since faded to history. China has a wealth of political literature to draw thousands of years of experience in how to govern a country, all written and preserved in books by Chinese scholars, historians, strategists, philosophers, and so on.
The KMT (Taiwan) had their chance to rule the mainland, but they failed and they lost the mainland to the Communists and fled to Taiwan. How are they fit to be called the real government of China then?
dont use a single password for everything its not safe. instead pay for a company to have all your passwords for you . Thats sounds very "smart"!
Yes especially when they get hacked
Your data on their servers is encrypted in a way that only your master password (the one for your acct) can decrypt it. If you don't have the master password, it's mathematically impossible for you to get in. That's also the reason that if you forget it it's game over, they can't recover it for you.
