- China is one of the world’s most unaffordable places to raise a child, a Beijing think tank says.
- The cost of raising a child compared to GDP per capita is 6.3 times in China, but 4.11 in the US, it said.
- The cost of raising a child is sinking China’s already falling birth rate, the researchers said.
China has a falling birth rate.
Russia has a falling birth rate.
China has a surplus of men.
Russia has a surplus of women.
Too bad they hate each other.
And both have deeply rooted racism problems that make Europe and the Americas look placid by comparison.
Very much so. You make this suggestion to a lot of Russians or a lot of Chinese and they’ll start talking to you about blood purity.
Blood purity leads to blood paucity! Hybrid vigor ftw!
Also, for those who want to know, South Korea is the most expensive place to raise a child.
Apparently, according to what I just looked up, China is the second-highest.
Although I wonder if those are weighted against America’s for-profit healthcare system?

On the other side: if most alternatives are raging alcoholics it might give the chinese men an edge.

Good thing they hate each other
We don’t need more of either for war fodder
I meant too bad for them, but what you’re saying could (unfortunately) apply to a lot more countries than those two.
Yea true but those two stand out as top tier authoritarian states with warmongering aspirations
Give the U.S. a year.
