Simply does a mathematical formula.

CCP lies.

Says that Every woman in China had to have 5 kids from 1950 to 2025 to have a population grow 2.5x during that period, which the CCP claims, to 1.3-1.4B...which clearly did not happen.

Not to mention the state mandated 1 child policy, you also had famines and population pruges during this time.

It’s probably closer to one billion than that but it’s likely lower than what they claim it is

I've seen her videos and that figure appears to be the low end of a possible range. The truth is, nobody knows, but the previous "official" figure of around 1.3 billion appears impossible. Seems like it could be anywhere from 500M to 900M. I've seen other estimates in the 700-800M range that seem quite plausible.

Heard this theory before and I find it believable but I can’t remember how that’s a big deal

IDK about that but never question an Asian when it comes to math.

The U.S. is at 330+ million or whatever and their country is close enough to the same size and they have tons of cities and they live extremely close together in tiny apartments. I could see 1.4 bil being way off but 500 mil seems way too low.

Could it be they cannot tell them apart, so they do a lot of double-counting?

Because you don’t understand the implications or how the world works.

I don't know that we just take the official CCP press release of their population and then put it in Wikipedia and roll with that.

I assume the CIA and war department have their own methods of figuring this number, whether or not they care to share. You'd have to figure they do the same thing for various hostile militaries to understand the true nature of the threat.

They have over a billion people but not all are united. Many different types of people who aren’t loyal to their government like the Uighur people in western China

China is a paper tiger. They hold the dominance in manufacturing but that’s about it. They steal innovation from everywhere else. They manipulate things only to a lesser extent than North Korea.

Well for one, it would mean the second largest economy in the world is a lie. Fake numbers, everything. Its collapse would have major shockwaves throughout the world.

It's Dom Lucre. His posts are for engagement only and are rarely verified. He is a drive by guy. It may be true, but everything I have seen from his posts are hyperbolic nonsense.
