China has a very passive policy of non-interference, but will this change in the future? (lemmygrad.ml)

do you have any names of said analysts? this is the second time I've heard this "demographic decline" point* from non-lemmygrad users.

  • this point sounds dubious/bogus because "demographic decline" is vague enough phrasing that makes it seem like slowing population growth means actual net loss in population.

    Ok i've found something on one of my national media, 2023.

    For context "lefigaro" is a right wing conservative french paper. It's interviewing PA Donnet.

    Pierre-Antoine Donnet is a experimented journalist with significant knowledge and experience with China since ~1980 (he was not happy with the Tibet events around 1985 and was present physicaly here for the Agence France Presse, the primary main source of most mainstream french media - independant medias have their own investigations). He's been cited twice on mediapart (independant leftist journal very respected here) on the topic.

    He says basically:

    • China population declined officially in 2022, and "it started before despite the official source" as part of the source of the problem
    • PIB growth lower than targets and historical values, as a symptome of vicious circle
    • Some talk about the CCP internal conflict

    I guess he's the primary source, but I don't want to buy his book to give you a summary :D
