🧵THREAD: The "Chinese Century" is DEAD - Here's the EXPLOSIVE truth about why China will NEVER overtake the US

THREAD🧵

2/ 🔥 Everything you've heard about China becoming the next superpower? WRONG. I've got data that shows why their empire is crumbling RIGHT NOW

3/ 🚨 SHOCKING DEMOGRAPHIC CRISIS:

- Deaths > Births (1st time since 1961)
- Fertility rate: Below 1.0
- Beijing/Shanghai: 0.7 (WORLD'S LOWEST)

This puts China on track to lose 75% of its population by the end of the century.

But it's worse than that...

4/ In Japan, we speak of "The Lost Generation". In Chinese social media, young people are calling themselves "The Last Generation".

How creepy is that? They know what the west doesn't.

5/ EXCLUSIVE: UN projections show China's population could CRASH to 450M by 2100. That's a 70% DROP! 🔥

But even that's overstated. If TFR stabilizes at 0.8 -- IF -- population drops to 310 million.

That's lower than the U.S.!

6/ HERE'S WHAT'S COMING: 70% of Chinese wealth is in REAL ESTATE.

What happens to housing and office prices when not just demand but POPULATION starts dropping?

Economic CATASTROPHE incoming

7/ 🚨 DEBT BOMB ALERT: Chinese corporate debt has grown 50X since 2007! The US? Only 2X.

This is UNPRECEDENTED in WORLD history!

8/ The truth about those "ghost cities" you've heard about? They're just the START. Imagine entire REGIONS with few people left

9/ Why isn't the Enemedia covering this? Beijing's economic data is FAKE. Their population data is FAKE.

The real numbers are SHOCKING
