China is. Do you realize that by 2050 their population could be half of what it was in the beginning decade of this century? No country has ever experienced that much population decline. They have no real domestic consumer market. They don't have enough women under 40 to stop it. Their entire model rested on the US' Soviet containment policy surrounding global trade. We aren't patrolling the shipping lanes anymore. We are making bilateral trading agreements with the countries we wish to be trading with. China isn't one of those countries. They are energy and food insecure.

how about we ship all those thousands of migrants to China if they're experiencing such a population decline?

They are kind of picky about who they let in.

Explains that great wall thingy everyone mentions. We need one to rival theirs, taller, wider and with big guns.
