On 17 January, China's National Bureau of Statistics released economic and demographic data on China. According to the data, in 2022, 9.56 million babies were born and 10.41 million people died, which means that China's population decreased by about 850,000 people, down to 1.41 billion, with a natural population growth rate of -0.6%. This is the first time since 1961 that the number of births in China has fallen short of the number of deaths, or what demographers call a "mortality crossover". Additionally, this negative population growth trend is almost irreversible for the foreseeable future.

This historic turning point in China's demographic change has generated much debate. Economists say that as China's population ages and declines, the demographic dividend on which the Chinese economy has relied for so long, will soon disappear, with far-reaching consequences for the Chinese economy and the world. The possibility of China overtaking the US to become the number one economy is diminishing as the demographic dividend disappears, and Xi Jinping's "Chinese dream" of world domination is gradually fading away.

The entire country operates under close monitoring and control, functioning like a labor farm. It is well known that prison-like management is the most effective way to achieve a demographic dividend, as the cost of wages for reformed laborers is close to zero. By transforming China into a controlled prison-like environment, free laborers become captive laborers under supervision. This is how the powerful and wealthy in China and their families can reap the benefits of the demographic dividend for generations to come. North Korea serves as a prime example of this concept. Some have even referred to China as "West Korea," which does not seem an unreasonable comparison.

Although the Chinese Communist Party's mouthpiece always talks about common prosperity, it is a lie to deceive the people. The so-called common prosperity is a robbery of people's wealth, and the result is common poverty and a new demographic dividend.
