Xi believes that China’s Communist regime is different even as demographics are undoing his mandate of heaven.

If the birth and marriage rates keep dropping, a Communist gerontocracy will preside over failing dams, mega-cities, and a shrinking empire of senior citizens and single career women as the “barbarians” in the Muslim hinterlands with stronger birth rates sweep in.
Communism claimed to be able to harness history, but history always has the last laugh." https://www.danielgreenfield.org/2021/1 ... china.html
