Reply to comment by Primus_the_Knave in China hopes rocket to send people to the moon will be ready by 2027 by Gari_305

Meanwhile, power got a lot more centralized in the last year, so I would say, state has become stronger than it was. Not really a good thing, but I don’t see China anywhere near the collapse

Depends. They might have half as many workers by 2030. Not sure how this will work out for them.

Based on official data (which is drastically overstated), China will lose 200 million workers by 2050. The number will be substantially higher given China's real TFR is around 1.
