Re: China's population collapse

5. Managing a country that is declining in population should also result in a less aggressive military posture. There would be a pressure to shift from expansion to more defensive efforts. Of course, leaders may be slow to respond to that pressure. Disagree with this thesis. Russia being a case and...

ChatGPT is nothing more than a glorified textbot it is...
