China to lose population

[VicBee]

There were 32,000 rape cases reported in India in 2019 for a population of 1.2B while the US reported 143,000 for 332M people.... Of course that's only the reported cases. I'm sure you have a story for that discrepancy too.

reported. That's a story right there. In a population of 1.2B with 46,000,000 more men than women, there are only 32,000 cases of rape? LOL

Many ways to slice and dice a population such as India, including about 1/3rd are below age 18.

Can a teenager rape? Sure. But not likely unless in one of those gang rape situations.

Anyway none of us is an criminologist from India to speak authoritatively.

it's more of liabilities than asset. it requires a lot of money to provide healthcare, education, jobs, food, shelter, energy, ... to 1.2 billion of people.

We could see tons of ramifications for the global manufacturing, industrial production, commodity prices and consequently, the global inflation further down the line. China is a major importer of a lot of things from a lot of countries because of the demand from its massive population and the exports it does. Well, the exports can already be decreasing severely sometime in the future because of the reverse globalization and onshoring of a lot of tech companies and all that.

But if we see that there is more to this story of population shrinkage and things get dynamic, China may stop buying a lot of commodities in huge bulks.

It can get messy for the Aussie dollar big time as well.
