That’s my point. You can still increase total productivity by increase productivity per capita.

Hungary? When and what do you claim they did?
Here is a graph of Hungary's fertility rates
Point out where you think pro-natal measures were a success. What cultural change has happened in Hungary that I'm not aware of?
Israel has never had its fertility rate drop below replacement levels. Their "success" is the fact that it's an apartheid state and the Jews are worried about being outpopulated by Arabs. Not to mention the massive economic largess that comes from the US/EU. It works for them but I don't see how you would replicate that in China or anywhere else other than somewhere like South Africa.
I don't understand your point here. Are you arguing that Chinese don't want to have children because they can't afford it, or that they culturally don't want to? Having to pay for private tuition is a cost, not a lifestyle norm.
Taxing people for not having children won't lead to a colour revolution in China if that's what you're thinking. You're just putting out blanket statements with no knowledge of China or Chinese culture.
China had a one child policy for decades with no "malcontent". Plenty of countries have laws heavily restricting abortion, including some states in your own country.
Some people may be unhappy, but most will just have children to avoid the tax.
The one thing I would agree with you. You seem to be implying it is only an issue with China and not one with the wider world. Fortunately the advantage of a non-market economy is that the housing market can be requisitioned by the government at any time.
Hungary's increase is almost exclusively because of gypsies.
So immigration? I'm not so familiar with eastern europe.

More and more Chinese return to China and that's all China wants. The solution is never to brain drain as Chinese power comes from Chinese brains, but the solution is automation and technology so that a leaner, more educated workforce can more than replace brute force labor provided by young bodies. China doesn't need a larger population; it needs to do more with what it has and it is doing just that.
The deceleration of what? Where's the data? Sounds like you exaggerate as always.
Nah. Lol.
That data is as accurate as your IP address is truthful.

They have Chinese blood; they see what happens to Asians in America. My grandparents are dead. I love China whenever I look in the mirror.
What? What timeline and whose prediction?
You said that this problem is worst in China than anywhere else. You need to provide data for everywhere else because the general global trend is decline. And that includes places like Japan, South Korea, etc... And provide the source.
But you know what, the CCP has many more tools than a typical democracy to influence its people and those tools are just coming into use. With them and the rise of automation and education, China doesn't need nearly as large a population to achieve the same or more. The upside is that with a reduced population, Chinese quality of life and resources per capita expand, which helps it return more overseas Chinese talent.
@manqiangrexue, it's like written in the stars, dude!
Sleepystudent has a hopeless case of masochism. He keeps bypassing SDF checks like China bypasses US sanctions just so you can verbally smack him around.

And the lazy stay while the useful return. It's always been like this except before, there was a time when no one wanted to return but now, most grads do.
Puahahahaha, don't make me spit my drink on my computer! China pundits are so desperate they look to the stars for anything hopeful LOLOL
By what source or calculation did you get a least 100 million from?? The stars? LOL
They're just starting. Just less than a year ago, China had the 3 child policy and then efforts to reduce educational costs by clamping down on test prep. There's downward momentum to reverse first but you know, which China's massive population, we've got a huge buffer to play around with.

LMAO, we've already done this and you lost in your other alt account too. The trend favors China.
And many other members posted other articles too.
What is it? The stars? Other people? Show me how easy this calculation is. LOL All I see is dodging the question of where you got that numbers. Sounds made up.
China spent decades trying to prevent a population explosion with the one child policy. China spent a year or so trying to reverse the trend. Only in the last few months did it go beyond the 2 child policy. I didn't know you were so ignorant on this... it'd be awesome if you could magically come to a debate educated next time.
