INTRO: Most of the data coming out of China isn't worth the paper it's printed on, but there are a handful of metrics that aren't based on estimates. Today, we'll be looking at marriage registrations and what the 6% decline from last year means...
VIDEO EXCERPT: They just don't know and they don't believe they have the capacity to go out and do get the information because too many people are concerned with getting the wrong answer [that will anger the leadership]. Anyway, it's a tiny little window into the crisis that the Chinese are facing these days. And to be perfectly blunt, there's no coming back from this.
Without marriages, there are no new no children or very few. But more importantly, there are now no longer enough people to even theoretically get married in order to attempt repopulation. So, it's just a question of timing. Whether it's in single or double digits of years, of course, matters to all of us because we're all living in the now, but it looks pretty rough and this isn't going to last much longer...
Only give Xi Jinping good news data ... https://youtu.be/WA3i9KTyLso
