The elephant in the room is Chinas demographic collapse.
Not only has the CCP overcoubted its population for decades, but the real population isn’t replacing itself.
This will put massive strain on their labor market and social safety systems.
🧵 China’s population collapse is now mathematically irreversible.
There simply aren’t enough women left of childbearing age.
Even if the fertility rate magically returned to replacement level (2.1 children per woman) tomorrow, the country would still lose more than 40% of its population by 2100.
It won't. The real number is 75%. There's nothing like it in history. 🧵

@AlexLuck9 I doubt the carrier will give way to these ships, if they are ever constructed.
The concept of an arsenal ship like this dates to the 80s and could pack as much firepower as a carrier for a fraction of the cost.
@junshiguancha1 Interesting.
The government that deployed tanks against unarmed students is now demanding a fair fight.
That’s a level of self-awareness usually reserved for cartoon villains.
