Peter Zeihan China Collapse Story Scrutinized
- Thread starter oil&gas
- Start date
I am sure the MAGA crowd is eating up every word Zeihan utters. The truth is that every technologically advanced country is suffering the same problems. Japan has been suffering a declining population for decades, yet their society has not collapsed. European nations, USA and Canada are eager to take in qualified people from other countries so that their future tax base will be eroded.
One way to offset population decline is technological advancement. China is graduating more engineers than any other country. About twice as all of Europe and about five times as many as the USA annually.
Another way to put what Zeihan is saying : We Baby Boomers grew up in a world that got better and brighter as we aged, but now the world is in decline for the time being. ( We were in an up cycle mow the cycle is in a downturn ) Zeihan predicts the downturn of Germany, Australia, Argentina, Canada and Russia. ( See his Youtube videos )

I don't mind watching his YouTube content. I haven't found his foil as of yet. It would also be interesting to hear that person's opposite take.
Is he a MAGA spokesman? Which side is he on? I think he is on Zeihan's side. He is a publicity seeker. He may get paid speaking engagements from the Republican/Maga people. He might even get MAGA groupies. What he is saying is factual, but he distorts and manipulates the situation in his favor. What is happening in China is happening in every western industrialized country. Japan has been suffering a shrinking population for 30 years and there is no sign of collapse in sight. I am speculating, but I think this world has cycles of civilizations where there is evolution to a point where it is no longer sustainable and we go into regression for many years. There has been so many societies on this earth that have disappeared. One day this world will go into a Mad Max state before the majority of people die off and civilization starts all over again. This will happen long after I am gone.
