Capitalists can only see demographics though an economic lens. That's why they require constant population growth. China shows that is not necessary.
Indeed, China is a mystery for western economists because they fail to recognize the fact that it's a fundamentally different system.
Like how China is not a democracy. Democracy is when you have massive fundraising events with private interests paying millions for seats at these events and special access, like at the DNC convention just now.
That's right, when the west talks about democracy it's talking about democracy for the ruling capitalist class. China is indeed not a democracy for capitalists.
