    also demographics is way worse in the west

    No. China has a fertility rate of 1.2 right now. That’s worse than the West. EU sits at 1.53, USA 1.64. What’s worse is that this rate has been low for a very long time due to Mao’s One Child Policy.

        They won’t use it. China is going full-on ethnonationalist right now and is considerably less open to immigration than even in the past.

          being a autocratic state, the party will enact whatever policies it deems necessary. see the one child policy for an example. state propaganda will do what is needed. in fact, a huge class of people without citizenship, some class to be opressed, could even be a boon to maintain the party in power.

          like i said before, china has options. the west doesn’t. and because china has options they can maneuver better the chaotic future that awaits all of us.

            You are operating under the assumption that the party is rational. The grotesquely inept reaction to COVID-19 however has shown that it’s anything but. Not to mention, even if the state suddenly decides to reverse decades of Han-supremacy policies, which is extremely unlikely, this does not mean that immigrants will suddenly flock into China in anywhere close to sufficient numbers. I doubt this is even possible, given how huge China still is. Where are these people supposed to come from?

              indeed you are correct. i’m giving the party way too much credit. but i do that for every gov in power.

              mostly bordering countries, just like the us. laos, cambodia, vietnam would be the origins of said immigrants.
