FRAUD IS KILLING CHINA

Deng Failed to Eliminate Fraud

This is a follow-up to my recent post on China Vax Genocide. That post quoted another video which showed that China’s population is way smaller than the official claims. I concluded in that post that the Chinese Covid vax is responsible for a large part of the deaths in China and population decline. The video author said she’s sure the population is under 900 million, and suspects that it’s below 800 and maybe even below 700 million. Since then, I found that Peter Zeihan regards those figures as reasonable. I’ll quote him below. And I think I’ll add this to the previous post.

FRAUD IS KILLING CHINA

{After Mao, China under Deng} built a split system. The idea that Deng was after was try to avoid the over centralization, while also avoiding the over regionalization. Unfortunately, they did this without rooting out the fraud that is endemic in the Chinese political and economic system. And so the local governments just basically started lying about everything, generating statistics that indicated faster economic growth than they were really having, generating statistics that they have more population than they were really having, and if you remember, the one-child policy started not too much longer or actually about the same time that this split happened. And so we have had almost 50 years of a disconnect in reality between what China's population really is and how the funds get appropriated. So that's problem one, that we have a half century of bad data about how many people there really are in China. According to the official statistics, it's somewhere between 1.3 and 1.4 billion. They have recently revised that down to between 1.1 and 1.2 billion. Most independent estimates put it 100 to 200 million below that. And there are a lot of private ones that say it's 2 to 300 million below that, something in the realm of 700 or 800 million. I don't really have a number that I swear by, but you know it's obviously bad.

I’m linking this next video too, because it just seems to have a reasonable perspective on China. He gives it some credit, but also points out problems.
