of the not before the one that i have i mean these 5 years of a lot of if i want you, i will dump on my little son. permission just drives lines to throw the facing right away. if people didn't know that the plan was initial plan would be a good the

some of the 9 now come on the to put a sign for a month to close to the hood, looks a little thank you and you can use the one on the system for the month of insurance and it shut off the floor, it was not the long distance for the, the tennis plus the mostly subsidy of a full time acceptance. and i'm here to plan with you whatever you do. do not watch my new show . seriously. why watch something that's so different listed of opinions that he

won't get anywhere else. welcome to please or do they have the state department c i a weapons makers, multi 1000000000 dollar corporations. choose your fax for you. go ahead, change and whatever you do. don't marshall state main street because i'm probably going to make you uncomfortable. my show is called direction. but again, you probably don't wanna watch it because it might just change the way you the russian states never is as tight as i'm one of the most sense community best most i'll send send up the in the system. must be the one else calls question about this, even though we will then in the european union,

the kremlin mission, the state on the russians cruising and split the ortiz full neck, keeping our video agency roughly all the band on youtube tv services. for what question did you say a request which is the yeah, the see the music and it ask you for the there was you know, it was goes to the of the 1000000 lives upa. genuinely, you have to make sure it has them going to in this new way. well, the thing is that is the group of most, just few, but earlier students still a good that the you might have just to present, didn't your grandma so yeah,

we lost it. zillow still presume us, the good for god's good. we are little pretty much the utilities with them, with the system. what does that give take? we need to know because of that which could visit any business day but she will by foot or so you can. i did very good news when they said that i see it was nothing that. ready

ready you see right now probably the probably deal with those who shooting into these are already listed through. yeah, i mean is tim is came to visit the other to do to be able of when the door, my windows with the 2 that we did just the, the name of the new use. any of them by the, by is sick. i've already done that. so it's done a whole bunch of works a little gina, the data i've use page explanation. so start assume you have

a new movie to see you the also the voice of the phone. this was a bad shape because the bus barn in there was just the extra much out of school. the mean? i just don't know what's on the

is this gloves, but i use a lot swapped in, but it is 0 on it but i use it. but i've used anybody 0 and ask 11, but i use it on most of the main package room for that is that gotcha. do so it's binary. be part of a big part of it? it says input is like, you know, so did you wanna use that as you can see it, the movie can put it on a move like the of the most deep snow key steering key that was made shut off somewhere. she is. oh,

that's proof of citizenship to say that right. the reason for because there is a choice of northwest retreat sped states. it's pretty no except me. it was pointed out that it was because he just thought it was in spite of the that i so as a move of the things that were used to live but yet. but now for me, if i need to know if i need to show up on the 3 of them and try to do acquitted sizable by the commission, i'd say then things like that that i'm working

from virginia to to call when you think or i didn't know that about this for my daughter, i'm like either on their logo the way you know, the allows you in broad, my goodness phones, the was the name. yeah. or more of a don't us. and it also says the circle back with on that exhibited was here up any of the

big good that be so he said she was in the method as these dash slash look. you don't see any moment please for use for the, for my, for me to really someone there and the the

the the

was look she's the insurance and even though i know it was the last on the board and found the item with the what are you still get all the virtual, which is the human steve says that it will go and then your local regional scope on

lead me up was on. what for the simple 1st is what i'm what the by the end of the so that doesn't look like this. but i do holidays if you would that you know, you put the input, i'd be harder to what positives to have them give me a sample of them pop all up on the phone. and of course, the consumer that is the people who should know the regional minimum, the

for the summer. some seem like it was the name of the flow to the you. it's not so those are what the lady took on us, but the subset of my company, a thumb, what else up a sole source i have no trust. let's be able to lift it. don't go off with the choice to live this. let's do 2 of them and you also said the most, it wasn't me said that the closure should do with it or not. those are of the lady the list all the more it must be. so like this one is also on the using the,

the bottom of the option. absolutely, absolutely. you can look up on the low mileage the tradition cost be it's pretty significant. so even though we don't really know, i thought was the closest one about the trust, the small company was for the cool blue smoke or something. come with the including the show, it comes with a customer for you on one of those controls of course. and but almost to the 1st level with this question says, and i think one of the monitors to for so did the special a small hutch go go 1st can do the we did not video award winning. it shows do. who did so strict portion of moving the

to mobile. so eventually we moved to change change opinion. but i mean at the you something you don't want to do is to undermine natalie. always be not to the nursing rehab, steve levels which is used for several the domestic gates and you, but it was colombia. more of a trend with another. is this really just the keys are, are those gates are just that of that? using the other thing you, as far as that, the global for me that was the name and the should say, why do i have faith? and i'm all of them. the book of any me it is that i is when you see for food to

live, to with assist or to the resumes, look over the destruction basically for you. and it was more than just making use of the so what do you mean? you mean people who say, you know, and usually was because it was on that basis for commercial, that should get you the way it was. the

the so he's got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy on station let it be an arms race based on all sense, very dramatic. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very create ticket of time. time to sit down and talk the willing of the sofa to the board. you know, great union daugherty, a surname?

yeah, i did. she shipped a dr. meano's report. the control room for 2 of us. so we fixed you get the system really being you have enough lots and lots of lots and lots of i'm assuming, yeah, we get to talk to the insurance. actually it's strange uh, fox news, but i'll let you drive both on the on their own crazy. if that's where you store lot of the my software, but just go to, you store no satellite. if she ever always gives us whatever the shipping is, figler for a lift or slip that came over to them. i need this says that you principles of this book and use a similar only for each of them or not somebody's going. so i'm sitting here

waiting for you to take a picture of it. i'll go dump it over the dice so that i'm not the in the public. sanchez, i've been doing news for 30 years in 2 languages around the world. here in the united states, i've interviewed for president's co founded a $1000000000.00 business. i believe new should be honest and direct. we'll impactful. and this, by golly, is direct impact. the china is the most populated country in the world with the fastest growing economy. in fact, for several decades now. oh me now big news coming out of china has been nothing

short of remarkable. something happened recently that revealed what may be china's achilles heel. the countries birth rate is dropping and the media seems to be having a field day with watch. today china announced its 1st population decline in 6 decades. china is national bureau of statistics, so the country had $850000.00 and fewer people at the end of last year. then in 2021 bringing its total population to $1400000000.00. so we had all the numbers. well, i'm going to try and frame the story for you this way. stay with me here. according to the countries bureau statistics, more people died last year in china. then the number of people who were born more people died than were born. in other words, the fertility rate. it's upside down. so here it is. there were

about 10 and a half 1000000 people who died in china last year, but there were only 9 and a half 1000000 people who were born, give or take. the un says this should really not have caught anybody by surprise. they say china's birth rate has been declining now for several years, which caused an aging population and the shortage of workers. and here's why this is important. for most economies to thrive, a country needs to have the right balance of young and middle aged and a or elderly populations. the young supply, the workforce, the middle age, pay into the pension of retirees and the retirees. well, they are what time? which means they, they live off of what they saved and some government assistance sets in that pay for a diaries. but when the number of elderly grow too much and the number of young and

middle class goes down, the formula becomes lopsided. right? too many elderly, not enough workers, can cause an economy to stagnate. by the way, this type of thing is actually happening in many, if not most developed countries, is not just about china. watts because interestingly enough, and this seems almost paradoxical, but true as citizens in any country become more affluent. when they have more money, they make fewer babies. true in the us, russia, the u. k. spain france all have declining fertility rates. in fact, in the us, if not for immigration, the fertility rate would also be way upside down, if not for emigration. but china situation is unique. not only do they have a very low facility, right, as previously explained, relatively low immigration levels as well. but they also have, you know,

what they have, they have one unique reason that they find themselves in the position that they're now in. it's called the one child policy, a one child policy population planning initiative that china implemented back in 1980 to 2015 to curb the country's population growth by restricting families to a single child. 2 things happened as a result. it led to a population with fewer workers, fewer people were born and it also created a population where there are more boys, more boys then there were girls by lot. and guess what happens without girls? fewer berries. so what's the chinese government doing now? obviously they've recognize this,

they have to deal with that. officials are now looking for ways to boost the nation's birth rate and are even urging authorities to ramp up the introduction of some policies so that they can promote fertility. joining us now to talk about it says the professor kenneth haven't, he's a historian and really a specialist in the area of age on particular. but china is an area that he very much understand. so he, he's the perfect person to be talking about this. and here's what i want to start with and, and you know why professor, i'm going to ask you this question. because i was preparing to do this interview with you and i started reading up. and i, and i started going to all the different journalistic outlets. and all the different sites, all the different new sites, everybody in the news media less certainly the western media paint's. this very anti china, like they make it out to be like this is the end of a civilization and give them 2 months and it's going to be over. of course,

i'm exaggerating, but so today. so how much my 1st question, how much is western media over playing this as they often do with anything having to do with gen, china is in a situation where i could basically do nothing, right? so, you know, for many, many years while china had it's one child policies in place, they were sound the criticized for that. a few years ago when they dropped the one child policies, then they got criticized for that. and now these reports are coming out that, oh my gosh for the 1st time the population actually does fine. they all read it. it's like the apocalypse. it's like it's the end of the world. what are they gonna do? india is going to overtake them. uh, it's a, it's almost like they're just sort of trying to right off china and be like, well, we thought they were problem, but i guess they're just going to fade away. and yet, and yet there is some real import to the story. i mean,

we hadn't seen anything like this come out of china in some time. so i guess the question is, what is the cause of this sudden the announcement or population decline as well? of course they do, they're, they do, you know, of census reviews every year and they release their population figures on a pretty routine basis. what's remarkable here is that there are 100 projections that because of the effects of the one child policy, but even more so because of what in the west demo, our crews call the demographic transition, which is a pattern that we see all over western history. where when countries reach a certain level of economic prosperity, the traditional believes and behaviors around families and will change will shift to the, the old values that said, you have to have as many kids as possible because some of them are going to die and others aren't going around too much, you know, and so if you want to be able to be secure in your old age,

or you need to have as many as many children as well. i said we, and i know i think you're probably gonna agree with this. you're starting a lot smarter than i am on this. we used to have children because we needed workers that our children were the ones who were worked in our farm or worked in our, in whatever it is businesses we had. today. we have children so they can go on and do their own things, but we don't need 4 or 5 or 6 of them, right? exactly, exactly. and, and that's what's happening in china is that, that young people are, are busy going about their lives. they, they want to have careers, they want to have education. they also want to have fun, they want to travel, they want to do things. and there's been a real change in attitude. some of young people about, you know, whether they're, how soon they should get married if they should get married at all. china has just legalized having children outside of wedlock as they say it also in an effort to, to perhaps bolster a new birth. but the reality is that this has been projected for

a while. the surprise in the report this year was that it has actually already begun. yeah, there was talked about how, you know, by 2030 or 2050 the population would peak it, s p. and this is going to be an ongoing trend of a declining population. the question i think really is, is that a good thing or a bad thing? yeah. well, i'll shoot that back out to you professor. is that a good thing or bad? yeah, sure. well, even in china, there are many people speaking out and expressing great concern about this. the idea is that, you know, demographers like to use this, this graphic representation of a kind of pyramid or comb. um where as, as the population ages its numbers get smaller and smaller. mm. that, no, it doesn't look like that in china anymore. now you have relatively small numbers at the very top, a bulge in the middle, but then a narrowing base. and a lot of economists will say, exactly as, as you were mentioning, you know,

oh my god, there's not going to be enough work or not going to be enough to support this aging population. uh, you know, the number of people over the retirement agent, you know, grows every year and it is, it gets going to be disproportionate in sort of classical economic terms. so there are, there are a lot of people, even in china who are expressing concern about yeah and, and i think the way, the way i was capturing that earlier is i was discussing, this is the very young are the working, the worker bees, the, the middle class are the ones who feed into the pensioners so that the pensioners can retire and the pensioners after working all of their lives on paying into the system themselves, are now waiting for the government to help kind of take care of them as most of us agree they kind of deserved to be taken care of. the problem is when one of those is in balance, then you get to many on one and, and not enough on the other end.
