This is long, but it's about what's happening in China and how it relates to all of us

13. I listen to geopolitical expert Peter Zeihan on YouTube. He talks about the impact of demographics

on populations along with giving a brief, but interesting, world view since the end of WWII. Basic thesis is after WWII the US military allowed free trade amongst nations by keeping sea lanes open in return for siding with the West against USSR.nations were now free to trade goods worldwide. After the break up of the Soviet Union we had over 30 years of unprecedented cheap natural resources provided by the former Soviet Union and cheap labor from China who took only a generation to industrialize. China is doomed because of bad demographics, the one child policy and over-counting in census means China's demographic model spells disaster. China's reliance on foreign natural resources from everything from fertilizer to oil means they are extremely vulnerable. Even more so after Russia's disaster in Ukraine. With 95% of advanced chips made in Taiwan can China really afford to invade and what will the West do in response. Does the West allow China to take over Taiwan's chip industry or do we destroy them and deny China this vital technology. Apparently, the future is all about AI and whoever leads in AI will be the premier superpower.
