    Very interesting conversation

    China Has 10 Years Left, Says Geopolitical Analyst Peter Zaihan

    It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. The freeman of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise, and entangled the question in precedents. James Madison
    Live as free people, yet without employing your freedom as a pretext for wickedness; but live at all times as servants of God.
    1 Peter 2:16

    Do you agree or disagree with Malthus?

    I believe every society will find themselves in this situation occasionally. They seem to adapt by innovating and/or population adjustments by moving or through some type of birth control. War and famine work as well.

    Malthus was wrong. I'm not sure what you're talking about; overpopulation is not China's problem.

    Nevertheless I think that guy is wrong more than he's right.

    China is only over 3500 years old. Not really seeing it going anywhere. Especially if its demise is dependent on US involvement.
