South Korea is a lost cause for other reasons: their birth rate is among the lowest in developed nations and at the same time they don't want immigration. The US is going to pull out at some point exactly like UK from all of its colonies because they'll cost too much long term. China isn't stupid enough to wage a war.
P.S.: Add the US itself to the list of the decaying countries by time. Feminism is so strong in the US, I mean the wrong man hating version, that it is projected around 45% of women are going to be childless. They might end up above SK's birth rate but projected to 330 million population, the US is going down the drain hard with 0 missiles fired.


China doesn't really wage war to take over places now, they simply supplant their rivals slowly over time

Don’t overestimate things, one things you have to give US credit for is their spirit of entrepreneurship, creative destruction and ability to adapt. They are culturally less prone to inertia, opting out instead to hack the bandaids off with a rusty saw. They might find a way out of this conundrum, just like they did in the past.

It took almost a hundred years of consistent mistakes for the British Empire to sunset, we might not live long enough to see your predictions through.


If we're in the incipient stage of the great Christian American Empire, America has atleast another 300 years left and that's assuming the Empire gets f*cked up pretty quickly by decadence. If successful, the future successor to the American Empire would be even better Anglo Empire, like how America is greater than Britain

The last time I checked, the US had 1.66 births per women, which corresponds to a natural population decline of 20% per 30 years or so. Nothing dramatic, and easily compensable with reasonable levels of immigration. Given the country's continued attractiveness to migrants, they could probably fill all the necessary "slots" with high quality immigrants and wouldn't even need to replenish their ranks with the dregs of the world. Also, you don't necessarily have to maintain exact population levels, you just have to slow down the population decline to a pace which is manageable.

The only major issue are the pension and healthcare systems, everything else could cope with a stagnant population. (And a stagnant population doesn't necessarily have to mean economic stagnation; growth can also be driven by technological innovation rather than increasing the customer base.)



Places like Ukrainie, Russia, South Korea, Italy or Japan are faced with a much more grim demographic outlook than the US.

A lot of the immigration* the US has seen though is a net negative in terms of contributions (tax dollars) vs liabilities (healthcare, housing, infrastructure spending, other social safety nets). Sure, kids of immigrants will grow up and probably be net positive but that's a long time.

Oh, I totally agree. Biden, in particular, subscribed to this idea of growing the economy via copious amounts of low quality immigration; he once even said that China and Japan have low growth rates because they're "xenophobic and don't want immigrants".

Quote
At a hotel fundraiser where the donor audience was largely Asian-American, Biden said the upcoming U.S. election was about “freedom, America and democracy” and that the nation’s economy was thriving “because of you and many others.”

“Why? Because we welcome immigrants,” Biden said. “Look, think about it. Why is China stalling so badly economically? Why is Japan having trouble? Why is Russia? Why is India? Because they’re xenophobic. They don’t want immigrants.”



I'm just pointing out that it would be feasible for the US to cope with its current, below-replacement level birth rates for a long time, and without even getting poorer.

Why do you have pics of other people's kids on your pc? Didn't you go to jail for that?

You are too foreign to understand anything about the relations between the 2 countries and especially the Chinese part in relations between the two :) . China doesn't want NK lol otherwise it would of been part of China for 30 years now, let me remind you who was feeding "Best Korea" during 00s, weak and false stereotype..



China wants Taiwan, the entirety of SEA, africa and pretty much anything else the degenerate west will let go of and not defend. If any country tried to take NK the nukes would fly, so your argument doesnt hold any weight famalams. What i know for a certainty is that uncle sam is the only thing holding back glorious leader kim from curb-stomping the effeminate south.

Im only picking on ya because you like to do the same to russians and north koreans, so i thought you could use some humble pie. You could bring up the fact that the ukies just got their mirage 2k-5s or that they used jdam-er's for the first time, or the AFU's progress in kursk, or the fact that the orange man hasn't completely stopped the funding to the cocaine addict, or that the Russians just surpassed the 10k destroyed tanks mark, or that natural gas extracting facilities in Poltava region got hit, or the accident at the Saratov oil refinery, or that the baltic states unplugged from russian electricity.

Instead you post reddit-teir nonsense making fun of russian civilians. The north koreans are getting combat experience while south koreans are watching anime

China doesn't really have to do anything, just sit back and watch Washington destroy the U.S.A.
