Well that's naturally the full spectrum view from a propagandist.

In 2016, China's Liaoning Province experienced a negative growth of 2.5% of GDP. In the same period, Liaoning Province experienced a negative population growth (the young and middle-aged labor did not grow, but there was an outflow,well to Beijing and to Shanghai mostly).


Prejudiced and biased people always feel that what others are saying is propaganda.

You fail to provide links. That means you can control the information without being accountable to what the source actually says. And you say Jap a lot. And you never say something positive about Japan. Only bad.

I'm confused. Doesn't Japan gain 2nd highest trade revenue this year? Number 1 : Germany, Number 2 : Japan, Number 3 : China.

Trade surplus is just part of the equation. The shrinking of labor force is wiping out the gains in productivity, which is why the total economy is stagnant.

It's okay. They'll buy 10000 F-35 jets to make their American masters happy.

Well said,in the same circonstance,whatever high the productivity of a small country is ,the total economy of this small country can never surpass China's or Japan's economy coz the population particularly the labor force difference is too huge to compensate.

Therefore, in terms of economic development, a certain amount of population is a sufficient and necessary condition.
Well high educated population to be more accurate.

Not only stagnant but become to decline,if this (In 2017, Japan’s total population decreased by 394,000, the highest in history) continues,Japan ecnomy will continue to decline no matter what Japanese gov do.

However, this is a good thing for Japan's per capita GDP. The smaller the population, the higher the per capita GDP of Japan.

1）As I said, Japanese culture does not welcome immigrants.
2）Chinese culture does not exclude immigrants(There are 56 different ethnic groups in China and a Japanese ethnic in Japan.Japanese people worry that immigrants will damage the so-called unique Japanese culture.), but because of its large population, China does not need immigrants in the near future.

The population of 1.4 billion is already enough, and the total population of China is growing every year. Although the growth rate of China's total population has slowed down in recent years.

The per capita GDP of Japan is growing slower than the US as well, even though the labor productivity growth of Japan is higher.

That's because the elderly is taking a larger share of population in Japan. They don't work and receive government welfare, paid for by younger workers.

I estimate that China may encounter such problems in 20 years, but Chinese culture is not a closed culture, but an inclusive culture. As far as I am concerned, if China’s population shrinks after 20 years, I believe that the Chinese government will not reject immigrants like the current Japanese government. The Chinese government will open up immigrants. As long as you speak Chinese, you should have the opportunity to immigrate to China (of course, if you want). There are large-scale Chinese and overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia. I believe that some people will immigrate to China if China is still prosperous and wealthier and can offer many opportunities after 20 years which I am quite confident would happen.

The Chinese economy has already developed relatively, and may slow down because of the US's despicable sanctions, but it will never stagnate. Think about it, China's per capita GDP is only 10,000 US dollars (this is the latest estimate in 2018).The optimism and hard work spirit of the Chinese striving to make more money has not changed.

For the time being, China has implemented a very very strict immigration policy. Apart from being married to the Chinese for many years, there is basically no way to immigrate to China, no matter how much money you have.

The problem with Japan is that it's not a sovereign country, they have to please the US even if it hurts them. Add then a stagnating society that doesn't want to change, bad demographics, it's not really going anywhere. It's like a never ending very slow death.
