I think the 3-child policy is driven by the need for manpower
and survival of China by the government.

Russia's Demographic Crisis Explained - TLDR News
--- Quote ---
> Putin's invasion of Ukraine hasn't gone as well as he had
planned, but things aren't going much better at home either,
with Russia's fertility rate verging on a demographic crisis.
Can Putin do anything about it, or will the war just make things
worse?

Sounds like a positive development to me at this particular
juncture in the timeline!?
Comments:

> A Russian has recently married into our family. She said that
there was no way she was going to marry a Russian male.
Apparently there is an imbalance between the number of males to
females in the populace with less men. The males apparently take
advantage of the situation and the females get treated poorly,
so she wanted out.
> This wasn't mentioned in the TLDR video.
> Maybe the Ukrainian war will have an impact on the out of
balance male-female ratio. She did mention the low male life
expectancy as all her father's friends have died.
--- End Quote ---
--- Quote ---
> Worth thing noting and I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned here
is the domestic violence issue in Russia. It was decriminalised
in 2017. Many many women have been harmed at the hands of their
own men and many ended up dying in their own homes due to
brutality occuring there. I can't imagine all this encourages
women to have children when violence is so rampant. Then again,
the head of the Russian church has remarked that "beatings are
mere blessings" so maybe this might actually have nothing to do
with birth rates going to hell.
--- End Quote ---
Perhaps integration of some Ukrainians into Russia is the
purpose of the "filtration camps" then?

because of its declining birth rate

> According to the article, Japan's population dropped by a
record 644,000 people to just over 125.5 million in 2021, which
saw 831,000 births and 1.44 million deaths. The East Asian
country’s population decline is now in its 11th consecutive
year.

In reality:
HTML https://www.statista.com/graphic/1/1066956/population-japan-historical.jpg
reducing Japan's population by 100 million would merely bring it
closer to the pre-Meiji population, as I previously discussed
here:
HTML http://aryanism.net/blog/aryan-sanctuary/another-one-bites-the-dust/
which was a population (while still high) at least had not yet
exceeded the carrying capacity of the land, and hence is what we
should be actively trying to get back to ASAP. And at least back
then Japanese were not Eurocentrists, whereas now this is how
they respond to Musk:

This Eurocentrist Japan is what Musk is actually worried about
ceasing to exist.

I am no fan of Macron, but on this occasion he displays common
sense (to our enemies' horror):
HTML https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2022/09/18/macron-proposes-repopulating-rural-areas-with-migrants/
--- Quote ---
> French president Emmanuel Macron has proposed creating a bill
next year to reform France’s immigration and asylum policies,
including a proposal to redistribute migrants to rural areas
facing demographic decline.
> ...
> “We have a policy that is both inefficient and inhumane,
inefficient because we find ourselves with more foreigners in an
irregular situation than many of our neighbours, inhumane
because this pressure means that they are too often badly
received,” President Macron said, the newspaper Le Figaro
reports.
> ...
> President Macron, who made his remarks on Thursday, also
called for a new system to redistribute migrants across France,
specifically in “rural areas, which are losing population,”
arguing that “the conditions for their reception will be much
better than if we put them in areas that are already densely
populated, with a concentration of massive economic and social
problems.”
--- End Quote ---
France is merely arriving late to obvious solutions that other
EU countries had already reached years ago:
--- Quote ---
> Similar policies have been suggested in other countries in
recent years, including Germany, where in 2016 it was suggested
that villages and small towns could help integrate asylum
seekers better and the asylum seekers would help counter
demographic decline.
>
> A University of Milano-Bicocca study released last year also
proposed using asylum seekers to repopulate rural areas and
small towns in Italy, arguing that if the local governments
limited migrant centres to no more than 25 people, there would
be little economic cost.

How do we know this is the correct solution? We look at who are
opposing it:
--- Quote ---
> Some in France, such as populist National Rally leader Marine
Le Pen, have come out against Macron’s proposal, however.
>
> “Emmanuel Macron wants to distribute foreigners in an
irregular situation [illegal aliens] to rural areas. We believe
that they should go back home. Unable to apply the law, he wants
to change it. We will oppose this new madness!” Le Pen said on
Twitter on Friday.
>
> Rival populist Eric Zemmour had proposed €10,000 “birth
grants” during the French presidential elections, to repopulate
the countryside naturally
--- End Quote ---
What is madness is encouraging more new births when there are
already so many people desperately in need of housing.

Actually, Canada is capable of carrying a much higher population
than merely 50 million:
HTML https://www.amazon.ca/Maximum-Canada-Million-Canadians-Enough/dp/0735273103
therefore Canada should be a significant destination country for
climate refugees.
HTML https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1jat2-zI98
If you ask me, 100 million by 2041 would still not even close to
enough given that climate refugees will eventually number in the
billions.
I also agree that Quebec should be a destination for climate
refugees from Francophone countries in particular:

This is why I do not blame Iran for supplying Russia:
HTML https://www.yahoo.com/news/exclusive-iran-agrees-ship-missiles-133311484.html
The more weaponry Russia has, the longer we can keep the war
going, and hence the more we can decimate Russia's population.
--- Quote ---
> as Russia approached the invasion of Ukraine in February, it
was coming off its deadliest year since World War II -- made
worse by the pandemic -- with the population in decline since
2018. It reached 145.1 million on Aug. 1, a fall of 475,500
since the start of the year and down from 148.3 million in 1991,
when the Soviet Union collapsed.
>
> The continuation of the military campaign and mobilization
until the end of next spring would be “catastrophic,” according
to Efremov, likely bringing births down to just 1 million in the
12 months to mid-2024. The fertility rate may reach 1.2 children
per woman, he said, a level Russia saw only once in 1999-2000.
--- End Quote ---
Of course, the correct Russian fertility rate should be 0.
At the point when the Ukraine war is about to end (hopefully
still years away), Russia will be at its weakest. At that point,
every country geographically capable of invading Russia should
invade Russia simultaneously to finish it off.

> Russia already had a huge gender imbalance before the Ukraine
invasion, dating back to massive battlefield losses in World War
II, Paul Goble writes at Eurasia Daily Monitor. Results from the
2021 census are expected to show that Russia has 10.5 million
more women than men, almost the same disparity as a decade ago —
the double blow being that Russian men at "prime child-bearing
age" are dying in Ukraine or fleeing Putin's draft, which will
"further depress the already low birthrates in the Russian
Federation and put the country's demographic future, already
troubled, at even greater risk."

--- Quote ---
> "The mobilization is upending families at perhaps the most
fraught moment ever for Russian demographics, with the number of
women of childbearing age down by about a third in the past
decade" amid the country's broader population decline, Bloomberg
reports. "While demographic traumas usually play out over
decades, the fallout of the invasion is making the worst
scenarios more likely — and much sooner than expected."
>
> Continuing with the Ukraine war and mobilization efforts until
the end of next spring would be "catastrophic" for Russia,
Moscow demographer Igor Efremov tells Bloomberg. It would likely
bring birth rates down to 1 million between mid-2023 and
mid-2024, dropping the fertility rate to 1.2 children per woman,
a low mark Russia hit only once, in the 1999-2000 period.

--- Quote ---
> Might there be a Russian post-war baby boom?
>
> It's possible. Sometimes wars "lead to higher fertility," as
when "sudden bursts of conception" occur as men deploy for
battle, Goble writes at Eurasia Daily Monitor. "For example,
monthly birth data from the 1940s clearly shows that U.S. baby
boom began not as the G.I.'s returned from war, but as they were
leaving for war." After the fighting stops, he adds, "wars may
trigger a surge of nationalist ideas making people susceptible
to pro-natal ideas and policies, even as so-called 'replacement
fertility' often leads families to 'respond' to high-casualty
events by having 'replacement' children.'"

Preventing this is why Russia must be invaded the moment the
Ukraine war ends.

significantly increased in the countries to which Russian men

> President Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine is causing major
changes back home. Hundreds of thousands of Russian men are
being mobilized to fight and tens of thousands have already been
killed or injured. Meanwhile, many Russians have left their
country and millions of Ukrainians are thought to have arrived.
>
> What impact will these changes have on the Russian population?
And could the public response lead to Putin’s downfall? We
discuss these questions and more with UCLA’s Oleg Itskhoki in
this DW Business Special.
