hi everyone I'm Emma so today we'll talk about the China's population let's start with some real footages from the China's
0:08
netizens honestly the number of deaths has
0:14
entered an explosive phase i used to think the peak wouldn't arrive for another 5 or 10 years but on this recent
0:19
business trip along the national highway to Changa I counted 17 households holding funerals and only one
0:26
celebrating a wedding in other words deaths are vastly outnumbering births a 17:1 ratio and that was just along a
0:34
stretch of about 155 km roughly 100 miles every few miles you'd pass by
0:40
another funeral then just a bit further another one [Music]
0:47
again a real estate blogger from Ku Jing Yunan posted "Today I discovered a truly
0:53
eerie place i'm born and raised in Ku Jing and I've never known a place like this even existed we were out house
1:00
hunting went to check out this residential area near my home and the entire complex had not a single resident
1:06
not one it was broad daylight yet it felt wrong i stepped inside and got
1:13
goosebumps the air was cold and heavy besides the distant barking of stray dogs and the sound of wind there was
1:20
nothing and yet someone had actually asked me to come view a house here said they wanted to sell sell to who exactly
1:28
my friends any of you recognize this place there's no one left in GuangDong the
1:34
streets are empty the massive crowds we used to see gone forever many factories can't find tenants anymore big
1:41
manufacturers have already left some moved to Southeast Asia others just went back to their home provinces pressure
1:47
here in Guangdong is crushing running a physical store is nearly impossible now people can't even afford rent anyway
1:53
after this new year I won't be coming back this is the current state of China's
2:00
real estate an entire apartment building and only one family lives in it see that just one household in the whole building
2:06
look over there not even a single family lives in those buildings this is what China's housing market looks like now
2:12
and over there only two units have their lights on give it 10 more years and Giaan will
2:18
just be filled with empty buildings houses keep going up but people fewer and fewer even homes priced at 500,000
2:26
to 600,000 UN about 70 to85,000 US but no one even wants to look
2:33
there's no one on the main roads no one in the markets or supermarkets it's eerily quiet everywhere so where did
2:40
everyone go this residential area was built a long
2:46
time ago but for some reason no one ever moved in it's been abandoned for
2:54
years weeds everywhere it honestly feels like a
3:01
post-apocalyptic scene every building sealed shut i came during the day on
3:07
purpose i wouldn't dare come at night from a nearby building I looked in
3:16
every single unit is empty even in daylight it feels cold lifeless
3:33
unit doors are boarded up
3:40
other buildings are sealed up too
3:45
this area looks like it was once quarantined down below there's an abandoned real estate
3:53
billboard i looked in from across the street every apartment is dark and empty
4:00
[Music]
4:09
we went into a high-rise the inside
4:16
not bad third generation apartments
4:21
the building isn't that old but no one lives
4:32
here hallways are filthy trash everywhere
4:44
ground floor units none are locked elevators don't work one elevator
4:52
still had the lights on but it's clearly broken too i need to
4:59
leave this place is giving me the creeps on the way out I finally saw one
5:05
homeowner i rushed home i was genuinely scared
5:11
hey everyone quick break from the footages i'm Emma a citizen journalist
5:16
and what I'm doing here is different i'm not just reading headlines i'm here to
5:22
show you the real footage straight from the China social medias and I will break
5:29
it down for you with data analysis and a fresh perspective so no filters no
5:36
government approved narratives just the truth so if you are into honest and raw
5:42
insights make sure to subscribe to my channels and so let's get back to the
5:47
real stories
5:53
chongqing has over 30 million people but look now the malls are empty the streets
5:58
are empty everywhere is empty can someone analyze where everyone has gone did they move back to their rural
6:05
hometowns or are they relocating elsewhere to find opportunities i do feel like there are fewer and fewer
6:11
people in the city but I don't know where they've gone we all know people are short on money but it's gotten to
6:17
the point where even the streets are deserted can someone explain what's really going on kaiu has 1.7 million
6:24
people this is what the streets look like don't you notice fewer people walking around it's like they suddenly
6:30
disappeared it's not just quiet it's empty shops are completely dead no
6:36
customers so where did everyone go
6:43
this year Shanghai's domestic service industry might really face a wave of bankruptcies why do I say that it's
6:49
already March but I've clearly noticed that the number of migrant workers has dropped significantly in previous years
6:56
we'd have 20 to 30 people coming in every day looking for jobs now only about six people show up each day but
7:03
the problem is the number of clients looking for help is even higher than the number of available workers many
7:09
families are looking for caregivers for the elderly or the sick but there's currently a severe shortage of
7:14
caregivers if things continue like this I believe many domestic service companies will collapse in fact many
7:21
storefronts are already empty what do you all think a resident in Hube wrote a sobering message since Chinese New Year
7:28
the number of deaths has been unimaginable when I went to store a relative's body at the funeral home the
7:33
courtyard was packed with people and bodies kept arriving one after another even booking a large farewell wasn't
7:39
possible for cremation you have to line up before 5:00 a.m to get a number and if you're late you might not get one at
7:45
all there were many comments under this post one netzen from Hunan wrote "I work in traditional folk funeral services
7:51
today was really something so many deaths and most of them were middle-aged people." A nizen in Beijing said
7:57
"Suddenly I've noticed more and more people around me getting cancer family members classmates people in my friend
8:03
circles for years I hardly ever saw that." Another commenter from GuangDong wrote "Our village has over 3,000 people
8:10
not too big not too small my dad likes to walk around and chat and usually it'd be months before he mentions someone
8:16
passing away but just in the last 2 months seven people have died and I knew six of them personally the funeral drums
8:22
keep sounding then stopping and then starting again shortly after it's constant
8:27
how many people used to live in this village at its peak 406 people so originally this village had 406
8:35
residents all living in these stone houses that's right are you the only one here at night well there's a guy who
8:41
comes at night to tend his sheep and down there another family raises chickens they come at night too to check
8:47
on the chickens has it always just been six or seven people living here yes
8:52
that's way too lonely hidden deep in the mountains of Hay Province is a small village that used to be home to over 60
8:59
people now only six elderly residents remain most of the houses are now covered in wild grass and even the newly
9:07
built homes are locked up and completely empty the village's fruit trees are full of ripe fruit but with no one around to
9:14
harvest them the fruit simply falls to the ground and rots i passed through a village
9:22
completely empty a few houses still look decent on the outside but the whole
9:27
village abandoned stray dogs are terrified of people some homes look okay
9:33
but it's obvious they haven't been touched in years paint peeling clutter everywhere
9:39
no one's cleaned in forever every house is empty in the same way
9:44
this village used to have maybe 1,000 households now barely 10 remain most
9:49
doors have signs and phone numbers asking people to buy or contact some people came to look but it
9:55
seems they were vandalized many are sealed shut with metal sheets all right let's check out
10:04
another look at this cabinet beautiful craftsmanship every corner is carefully
10:10
done this cabinet it's really wellm made
10:17
today we're visiting an empty village right in our own Liumin County i'll take
10:22
you for a tour people ask me where these villages are i often forget to say
10:28
honestly in the mountains of Tang County there are so many abandoned villages now
10:33
in the next video I'll label the name on the thumbnail you can go check them out for yourself
10:54
okay so there you have it the empty villages in the rural areas of China but
11:02
there's a lot of empty villages and uh you know home the empty buildings that
11:10
people already filmed it it's not just isolated cases across all the provinces
11:18
people are filming the same thing entire villages without a single soul
11:25
so in Chinese people even have a term for it they call
11:31
it meaning no people villages it's not just rural even the
11:37
big cities are silent neighborhoods are vacant and the schools are closing
11:44
there's a Chinese YouTuber named Liu Ya with over 1 million subscribers on March
11:50
the 1st and the ETH he shared information from a fan who used to work
11:55
at the World Health Organization and he's a data analyst who had spent
12:00
decades collecting and studying the population numbers what this person claimed was absolutely chilling all the
12:08
demographic data from China used by the WH World Bank and the UN is so wrong
12:15
because it's based on the Chinese Communist Party official numbers and the numbers was wrong
12:25
so this person quote an article on pins home a Chinese social media a Chinese
12:34
platform and it was run by Chinese outside of uh mainland China here's what
12:41
the here's what the article says back in 2012 China announced its
12:48
population was 1.36 billion but in January 2013 the
12:54
Ministry of Public Security suddenly announced they were deleting
13:00
350 million duplicate who code records so how did that happen they
13:08
launched a nationwide 48 hour audit involving over
13:13
500 thousands officials 500,000 officers and discovered millions
13:20
of duplicate entries in Hoko because like big sitters big sisters own many
13:27
houses little brother has multiple homes uncle with three apartments auntie with
13:34
10 units let me explain you might be wondering why would so many citizens in
13:40
China want fake or duplicate hook well because in many cities buying
13:46
property is restricted to purchase a home you often need to meet strict local
13:52
requirements such as having a local hook code or a local social security account
13:58
and in some cities there are limits on how many apartments that one person is allowed to buy so what did people do
14:06
they created duplicate ids and fake household registrations in different
14:12
cities just to bypass this restriction and scoop up more real estate so after
14:19
deleting those duplicate records China's population dropped
14:24
to 1.01 billion yes so are we done yet
14:31
nope because those records they were not based on actual census surveys there
14:39
were projections based on the school enrollment and other estimated data and
14:44
here is where is get wide to get more money from Beijing poor regions the
14:51
local governments and also the schools initially over reported the student
14:59
numbers yes because education budgets get shared by the central governments
15:04
based on the student numbers so more students equal more subsidized some expert estimate that
15:12
among the 216 million reported students that China have has at that time only 50
15:20
million might be real which means we could be looking at 160 million fake
15:26
student records so now we have 850 million people in
15:33
China but we're not done yet again the next problem is the ghost hook people
15:41
who have already died but they are still counted as living why
15:48
because in China young people rely on parents' benefits and when the parents
15:54
their parents died they don't want to lose the subsidized if they report the
16:01
death so they just don't report it so how many death are still in the
16:09
system the author give a conservative estimate of 100 million so now we are
16:16
down to 750 million people like alive
16:22
but wait there's more millions of Chinese citizens have moved abroad and
16:28
the numbers increasing especially after
16:33
2015 but let's count again this is January
16:39
2013 and millions of Chinese citizens have moved abroad but still have the
16:45
Chinese nationality right so estimate is around 50 million
16:51
so now we are at the real China population inside China is 700
16:58
million but even this might be high why
17:04
because China National Bureau of Stat Statistics is known to inflate the birth
17:10
rates by 20% so based on that we abstract another 43
17:17
million and the rest 657
17:23
million some might say that's too extreme okay so let's soften it say the
17:31
ghost who co and the migrants abroad over overlapped so we combine the effect
17:37
of 50 million only even then we still only have around 700
17:44
million real people in China that's half the official claim of 1.4 billion
17:50
there's another expert support this view that has missed lei from the YouTube
17:56
channels less real talk she says 35 years ago China and India only had a
18:02
population difference of 270 million in 1990 India has
18:08
870 million but China has 1.1
18:13
billion over the next 30 years India's average birth rates was 3.0 but China's
18:21
were just 1.7 half of that right so mathematically it's impossible for India
18:28
to have fewer people than China now
18:35
so Miss Lay's AI models estimates that China's 2020 population is at
18:43
890 million but Dr e fuian a well-known
18:49
demography expert says it's closer to 695 million
18:56
but now even Miss Lelay deducted the real numbers of China
19:02
population in half because because of the same article here
19:08
that the a fan of Limuang shared and I find it very
19:14
reasonable and uh Miss Lelay also cited a Japanese business contact who revealed
19:20
that Japan now export only half as much as as much sold to China compared to a
19:28
few years ago this sharp decline suggests a major dropped in consumption
19:34
and by extension a steep population decrease and she argued that this
19:39
support her estimate now the latest estimate few days ago she in in her live
19:45
stream that China's population was around 800 million before the pandemic
19:50
and maybe now may may now be closer to 400 million effectively cut in half and
19:59
there's another news support this view as well a Chinese netizen went to Alen
20:05
Musk AI platform Grock 3 and asked us to crunch the numbers using China's own
20:12
official data so the result China lost between 150 to 200 million people over
20:20
just three years because you know why if China really had 1.4 4 billion even
20:27
losing 100 million wouldn't make the street suddenly look half empty everywhere the ratio just doesn't make
20:36
sense and Liu Yang's WH source later did his own math and his estimate China's
20:44
real population might only be 310 to 320 million at the moment
20:53
he says 430 million people died due to CO and here's his
21:00
breakdown from 2020 to 2023 no in three years 2020 to
21:09
2022 around 7 million deaths per month which is over so translate to over 36
21:18
months 252 millions deaths from late 2022 to
21:25
early 2023 120 millions deaths after zero
21:30
COVID ended that's a harsh policy early 2020 the initial outbreak there's
21:38
another 50 million deaths so in
21:44
total 422 millions deaths so if the precoid
21:51
population was 750 million so now there will be there
21:57
are 328 million people remain this is a shocking remember I
22:05
don't want to believe it neither Chinese people talking about this yes definitely but people in cities
22:13
think others went back to the countryside people in the villages think they moved to the cities but when they
22:20
call each other they hear the same thing it's empty here too that's when it hits
22:26
them it's empty everywhere that's when they realize the
22:31
truth about
22:38
co do you remember that chilling video from you from four years ago the one
22:44
where people in Urungi Cintang locked inside their high-rise apartments they
22:51
were screaming out of their windows into the night no lights no
22:56
faces just darkness and from the darkness came the sound of hundreds of voice voices crying out at once and even
23:04
the person who filmed that clip we can hear him sobbing too let's
23:13
watch that clip again
23:24
[Music] the same tragic story that happened in Wuhan 6 months ago is now occurring
23:29
again in the Shing Jang region as thousands of residents in high-rise buildings shouted and screamed into the
23:35
night in despair shing Jang's capital Arumchi has been under strict lockdown
23:40
for nearly 40 days after authorities announced a resurgence of the CCP virus on July 16th an Arumchi resident
23:48
recorded the heartbreaking scene of people living in surrounding buildings screaming together to vent their
23:53
frustration it is clearly audible that the videographer himself was sobbing when filming
24:06
[Applause]
24:15
in a watermelon field a woman cried grievously as the watermelons had grown so well this year but everyone was
24:22
locked inside before and during the harvest season the farmer's hard work all went to waste shing Jang imposed
24:29
even stricter lockdown measures than Wuhan local pandemic control staff sealed off doors in high-risk areas to
24:36
lock people inside residents who went out breaking the lockdown rules were subjected to physical punishments such
24:42
as standing for hours under the sun or being handcuffed to railings
25:04
in addition residents in sealed off buildings were asked to eat less so as to produce less waste and remain inside
25:11
for a longer time the following is a WeChat voice message from a community manager
25:48
this is heartbreaking and u to me that moment
25:54
has become more than more than just a video
26:19
yeah even after 4
26:24
years I can't hold back when I revisit that video
26:52
and me close to home when I revisit the clip from the
27:02
lockdown and I I think it's it's a symbol of what the zero CO
27:09
policy really meant to the people inside China is control isolation and death
27:20
that may never be counted
27:25
someone may say "So why did the Chinese Communist Party lie about it population
27:33
numbers?" Well let me use the quotes from an
27:40
author Mr tang Pincho an author archived by the US
27:46
Library of Congress put it he put it this way
27:52
first it's all about preserving the image of a global superpower that
27:57
illusion of strength and pride the CCP can't afford to look weak
28:03
especially on something as symbolic as population size second is about control
28:10
if the truth got out if people realized how many have really disappeared it
28:15
could spark panic outrage even rebellion the regime sees that kind of awareness
28:22
as a threat so their approach is simple bury the truth before it ever sees
28:30
daylight end
28:36
quote so what should we do first let's stay clearminded and see through the
28:42
truth behind the China's population numbers this is not just about
28:47
inaccurate data is a result of years of policy decisions
28:52
and systematic
28:58
misinformation we might not be able to change everything but we can choose to stay informed and not be misled by
29:07
appearances let's hold on to basic decency stay grounded and think
29:14
critically especially like yesterday so today
29:21
28th of March and yesterday I heard the news about the earthquake in Myanmar
29:26
Thailand and people in China Bangladesh Cambodia Vietnam feel the tremor as well
29:36
i truly hope that people in the world and especially people of China and all
29:42
of us never lose faith in this simple p never lose faith in this simple
29:49
principle that what goes around comes around good brings good and wrong brings
29:56
consequences the truth doesn't vanish it's just waiting for the right time to
30:02
come to light thank you for watching and see you in the next live stream

China’s population is just a fraction of 1.4 billion

well I've discussed China's population
0:02
in several programs and consistent said
0:04
that it's absolutely not the official
0:06
1.4 billion and is no more than 100
0:09
million Um and also I don't want to come
0:11
across as sensational by making
0:14
unsubstantiated claims That said a
0:17
number of viewers have written to me
0:19
sharing their thoughts and information
0:21
on the matter I decide to finally
0:24
confront the question head on
0:27
China's real population is not anywhere
0:30
near 800 million either It's somewhere
0:33
between 300 and 400 million Yes you
0:36
heard that right China's actual
0:38
population may be only a fraction of the
0:40
official 1.4 billion I believe we need a
0:44
two-step approach to estimate China's
0:46
real
0:47
population First we must rectify China's
0:50
real population before the pandemic And
0:53
then we must determine China's real
0:56
death toll during COVID So first things
0:58
first what is China's population before
1:00
the pandemic in 2018 the Russians
1:03
estimated that China's actual population
1:06
may be between 500 million and 800
1:08
million A Russian expert noted that
1:10
China's population in 1945 during the
1:13
nationalist rule was 490 million After
1:17
the Communist Party implemented the
1:19
great leap forward which resulted in the
1:22
Great Famine and the subsequent cultural
1:25
revolution causing countless death and
1:27
injuries followed by decades of the one
1:30
child policy It's impossible that
1:32
China's population surged to 1.4 billion
1:36
Other Russian experts added up the
1:39
publicly available urban population of
1:41
every Chinese city and county and got
1:44
only 280 million people And based on the
1:47
traditional urbal urban rural population
1:50
ratio of 1:1 they estimated um China's
1:55
actual population being around 560
1:58
million Even considering China's unique
2:02
circumstances they say that the
2:04
population should not exceed 800 million
2:07
So and then Japanese scholars have done
2:09
research based on China's table salt
2:11
consumption arable land and
2:14
international grain purchases and
2:16
concluded that China's real population
2:18
was between 800 and 900 million In my
2:22
December 14th 2024 program uh which was
2:26
cut based on my October 8th live stream
2:29
I showed you China's real population
2:31
before pandemic before the pandemic was
2:34
between 695 million to 890 million My
2:39
logic was straightforward It is that
2:41
well 35 years ago China and India's
2:45
population was only 270 million people
2:47
apart In 1990 India had 870 million
2:52
people while China had a population of
2:54
1.1 billion In the next 30 years India's
2:58
fertility rate averaged three That
3:00
meaning that means every woman on
3:02
average gives birth or gave birth during
3:05
that 30 years to three children While
3:08
China's official fertility rate was only
3:11
half of India's at 1.7
3:14
Therefore mathematically it's impossible
3:16
that India a much younger country with
3:19
double the
3:20
fertility still has a smaller population
3:23
than China than China does in a span of
3:27
30 years So using AI and official CCP
3:30
fertility rate I came up with 890
3:33
million Chinese population in for the
3:36
year 2020 However if I use Dr E Fuian um
3:42
a renowned expert on Chinese demographic
3:46
um if I used his fertility rates China's
3:49
population in 2020 before the pandemic
3:52
was only 695 million So you see my
3:56
calculation the studies conducted by the
3:58
Russians and the Japanese overwhelmingly
4:01
point China's population before the
4:03
pandemic at somewhere between 600
4:07
million and 800 million or 900 million
4:10
but it's around 800 million And there's
4:13
another expert who agrees with our
4:15
number A Chinese YouTuber by the name of
4:18
Lee Muya who has 1 million subscribers
4:21
disclosed in his March 1st and March 8th
4:24
programs information he received from
4:26
one of his fans This fan uh has been
4:29
working for the WHO for decades and does
4:33
data collection and analytic work He has
4:36
been studying China's population for a
4:38
while and in 2020 2021
4:42
uh this fan of Mr Lee tried to repeat
4:44
the Russian study by adding up all
4:48
official population data at local levels
4:51
but he wasn't able to do so um because
4:54
many of the local governments had
4:55
stopped releasing demographic data and
4:58
some even fabricated uh the information
5:02
So he wasn't able to finish his study
5:04
but he concluded that China's population
5:06
before the pandemic was 750 million Do I
5:10
agree with this number well I think it's
5:12
logical My estimation of China's
5:14
population before the pandemic according
5:16
to my AI model was between 700 million
5:19
to almost 900 million So I like to be
5:23
conservative Um I would say China's
5:27
population before the pandemic was 800
5:31
million All right So we answer the first
5:33
question The next question is how many
5:36
people died from COVID Now the person
5:38
this the person who works for WH also
5:41
did his estimates and he said and this
5:45
is what he wrote As of now China's
5:48
population is between 310 to 320 million
5:52
He derived at this number based on his
5:56
calculation of a 430 million COVID death
6:00
toll Okay And how did he get his
6:03
calculation okay Let me tell you this is
6:05
his math He said before the pandemic
6:08
Chinese Ministry of Civil Affairs said
6:10
that on average 10 million people die
6:13
every year with the winter months
6:15
serving the highest fatalities at about
6:18
1 million per month
6:20
And according to people who work in the
6:22
Chinese funeral industry their workload
6:26
grew eight to 10 times during COVID Now
6:30
this growth however does not include
6:32
people who died in the countryside and
6:35
were buried by their family locally Um
6:37
so this 8 to 10 times tenfold growth
6:41
does not include the spill over death
6:45
that were absorbed in the countryside
6:47
you know through the local burials Right
6:49
he based on his calculation or
6:51
considering all facts he said China's
6:54
monthly deaths during COVID has been on
6:56
average 7 million per month for the
7:00
first three years from early 2020 to the
7:03
end of 2022 before uh zero COVID
7:07
abruptly ended So if you do the math
7:11
that's 252 million people who died in
7:14
the first three years of COVID And then
7:17
after the lockdown ended at the end of
7:19
2022 China experienced an upsurge in
7:22
COVID related fatalities from the end of
7:25
2022 to early months of 2023 And he
7:28
estimated another 120 million Chinese
7:31
died during that period And his number
7:34
is based on some internal data from
7:36
Beijing's police department So in
7:39
January of 2023 at least 8,000 to 10,000
7:44
people died daily in hospitals in
7:48
Beijing And this didn't include people
7:51
who died at home in
7:53
hotels schools or other dormitories You
7:56
know a lot of Chinese live in work
7:58
provided dormitories And the same number
8:01
in Tanzin was 5,000 deaths daily in
8:04
hospitals Now China has over 2,000
8:08
cities and counties of of various sizes
8:11
So he calculated 120 million total
8:15
fatalities across China in those months
8:19
And then on top of that he said an
8:22
additional 50 million deaths should be
8:24
added to the early months of COVID in
8:27
2020 to account for the initial surge in
8:30
death So if you add them up that's 222
8:33
million total deaths from the end of
8:36
from the beginning of 2020
8:39
uh to the end of the surge in 2023 And
8:42
so when we deduct the 422 million from
8:45
the 750 million that's his number That's
8:48
where he got his estimate uh of China's
8:51
population being at a little over 300
8:54
million right now Now this is the first
8:57
time that someone actually attempted to
8:59
calculate total COVID death um in recent
9:03
years I cannot dispute his numbers but I
9:06
think there's a piece that he missed
9:08
that is his death his 422 million death
9:12
only covers from the beginning of the
9:14
pandemic to the early months of 2023 as
9:18
of now uh or in 2024 and
9:21
2025 people are still dying Um so the
9:25
total number of casualties may be more
9:27
than his 422 million and may even reach
9:31
500 million Now this 500 million matches
9:34
with what the founder of the spiritual
9:37
practice fallong who said in early 2023
9:40
that 400 million Chinese had died uh in
9:43
the pandemic and another 100 million
9:46
would die until the end of the pandemic
9:48
So what is my estimation
9:52
my estimate of Chinese population right
9:54
now is somewhere between 300 million and
9:57
400 million 400 million is on the
9:59
conservative side and 300 million is an
10:01
aggressive estimate It's based on China
10:04
having 800 million people before the
10:06
pandemic and having lost between 400 to
10:09
500 million people so far Now yesterday
10:13
one of my long-term viewers wrote to me
10:16
He said one of his connections from
10:17
Japan told him something very
10:19
interesting that he wants to share with
10:21
me His contact in Japan is a man of
10:24
honorable character and is well
10:27
connected to Japanese businesses in the
10:29
salt industry And this Japanese contact
10:32
told my my viewer that on the whole
10:35
Japan is now selling only one half of
10:39
the salt to China that it did only a few
10:43
years ago So what do you suppose that
10:45
may imply about the real Chinese
10:47
population this indirectly confirms that
10:50
China's population is about half of what
10:53
it was before the
10:54
pandemic It indirectly supports my
10:57
estimate that the population was 800
11:00
million before the pandemic and is now
11:02
somewhere around 400 million It's
11:04
cutting half
