What do we mean by “depopulate”? I think I read an estimate (from a non-western backed source) that proposed China’s population dropping to the 700-800 million mark over many decades. Which shifts like that are often associated with many countries that have seen a drastic rise is quality of life, medical care, birth control, etc. It just happens more. People want/need fewer kids. They have more to do. Etc.
But this was projected over a looooning time. It’s not like the country’s gonna loose 30% of it’s population in a few generations.
