The bigger problem for China is its declining population.Last year China recorded a population DECLINE of 850,000 to 1.41 billion people, and this year it seems likely that India became the most populous nation.
It’s hard to be the world’s economic superpower – as China hopes to be someday – when the population is shrinking. A lot of this is due to several decades of the Chinese brutal one-child policy. This has created an upside-down population pyramid.
Gordon Chang, a noted China analyst, reports that the country “this century is on track to experience history’s most dramatic demographic collapse in the absence of war or disease….Today, the country has a population more than four times larger than America’s. By 2100, the U.S. will probably have more people than China.”

Chinese Secret Police Stations in America:
Reports of Chinese police stations in US worry FBI
A September report issued by the NGO Safeguard Defenders revealed the presence of these stations around the world, including in New York.
The FBI’s director, Christopher Wray, told senior politicians that the agency was monitoring reports of such centres across the country.
“We are aware of the existence of these stations,” Mr Wray said.
“To me, it is outrageous to think that the Chinese police would attempt to set up shop, you know, in New York, let’s say, without proper coordination,” he added. “It violates sovereignty and circumvents standard judicial and law enforcement cooperation processes.”

Chinese Indoctrination Centers on college
Chinese-funded institutes on U.S. college campuses condemned in Senate report
A scathing Senate report released Wednesday says that without major changes, so-called Confucius Institutes paid for by the Chinese government and operating on dozens of American college campuses should shut down.
The bipartisan report by a Homeland Security subcommittee blasts the language and cultural centers at more than 100 U.S. universities as too strictly controlled and a threat to academic freedom. It accuses many American colleges of failing to disclose how much money they’ve received from the Chinese government — which the report says has spent more than $158 million on schools in the U.S. since 2006. Many colleges didn’t reveal they’ve accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars from China despite Education Department guidance that requires reporting of foreign gifts.
And it’s not just college campuses. The report notes the rapid growth of so-called Confucius Classrooms, Chinese language classes funded by the Chinese government in more than 500 elementary, middle and high schools in the U.S. The K-12 expansion is a top priority for China, according to the report released by Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations Chairman Rob Portman (R-Ohio) and ranking member Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.).
