Some people dont share your negative view... but maybe CN will address that in next 5 years..
Just look at Pete Zeihan. The guy is on the map it seems just for "confirming" to people what they want to believe. The Republicans love his crap because he tells them what they want to hear. And where does his data come from? I tried to do a search to see if Peter Zeihan was ever in China. I could not find any results. So his information comes from what others have written. And Republicans always demand personal experience to have any credibility on being an expert when you say something they don't like. And Peter Zeihan has none when it comes to China. And let's not be fooled that demographics is also a message on virility. And lets also not forget the US is suffering from a demographic problem and the only reason why the US is seeing growth is because of non-white immigration to which is why it's a top issue with Republicans to fight against.
Why do Westerners care about the demographic problems in China? It has not a threat to them. Besides it fulfils their dream of the elimination of Chinese people existing. It's one of things where the West always acts like they know the solution and guess what? You have to do what they say to get it. It's like the West has the answer on how China can become an innovative country. The West doesn't want China to be an innovative country. Just look at everything they're complaining about China and trade. They are not looking to make China even more of a juggernaut of innovation they can't compete with than it is now. First they establish how important it is like soft power and then you start begging to them on how to get it?
