China’s demographic doomsayers cite the wrong data — David P. Goldman

Education plus technology = increased productivity.

Goldman shows how Krugman was wrong about the future of the Asian Tiger in the 90s. 

Those who lived through the similar rise of Japan post-WWII are struck by the similarities now with China. 

But China is a whole lot bigger and more consequential than Japan or the Asian Tigers. It is also bigger and more consequential than Germany, whose rise post-WWII was facilitated by the Allies to oppose the USSR. Now Germany is not only a vassal of the US, it is also in the process of canceling itself as an industrial powerhouse. Not so China, which is picking up those Russian resources and replacing the European countries in Russia's markets.

God forbid China be compelled to increase immigration someday. Or implement a guest worker program. There is a compromise between xenophobia and open borders.

China's problems are a lot bigger than China propagandists care to admit. Better to be in countries rich in resources, which is where the last vestiges of wealth will flow.

Asia has the highest population density of any continent. From an ecological perspective, that is bad news...
