India recently overtook China as the most populous country. NBC News’ Janis Mackey Frayer has late details.

  1. Another news media clown show 💯🗣️

  2. Good for them. Better quality of life overall. Especially for their next generation

  3. The nation with the largest genocide in human history has a decreasing population?

  4. Elon has been telling everyone this for years, but media enabling GenZ paradigms pandering with them agreeing with them that there is an overpopulation. If you look at actual geopolitical experts, the population collapse has been predicted for years on YouTube, it’s only a complete surprise to the MSM.

  5. Apparently, every country should strive to be more like India. I wonder what is the quality of life in India?

  6. why do you care about the birthrate im not marrying or having children.

  7. 1/3 of China men came to USA 😂😂😂 Venezuela 1/2 their population is in USA 😂😂😂

  8. Ppl in China stop 👌👈🍆🍆

  9. This is a much worse problem than many seem to realize. China’s huge changes over the last 40 years set the stage for an epic implosion. China’s demographics problem is similar to Baby Boom in the US. There is an enormous ‘bubble’ of aging Chinese from pre ‘one child’ about to pass into their less-productive years, and not nearly enough people are being born to prop them up financially. The system has promised its people so much- constantly growing infrastructure, huge government programs, and a way of life that requires far more resources – but built it predicated on wealth created by younger generations. It’s much worse than just trying to backpedal to undo ‘one child’ – the general impression of many 996ers is that child-rearing is inherently too stressful/uncool/too expensive. As soon as the system begins to stagnate, unrest will follow, growing worse each year as aging populations don’t get what’s promised. It always works itself out over time – the old people will die, the burden will ease – but an unstable China is a massive global risk.

  10. The more people you have, the less resources there are.

  11. This news only wants to make Westerners happy for a while, they will disappoint again when they find out this is a fake news

  12. My birth country S. Korea, I believe, has the lowest birth rate right now. And I say wonderful! Women no longer listen to all the pressures to have kids and I applaud them. Have kids if you want them, not out of obligation. Countries can even guarantee clean environment for the unborn, yet greed always overpowers logic I guess.

  13. I don't believe Pooh one bit! No way China’s economy hasn't been shrinking.

  14. India's population is number 1 now… also coz China's population is decreasing.
    Their birth rate is 1.28 (very low).
    Our birth rate is 2.0 (completely balanced).
    But since our population is already very high, medical facilities are good enough, we don't have "no child" attitude..
    Our population won't decrease.

  15. I have talked with a lot of Chinese and all of them approve this trend

  16. I wouldn’t worry about this trends, it’s their problem and it will take centuries for that to happen.

  17. That's because a clone society cannot reproduce.

  18. This is what happens when you move your people all over the globe. Stop trying to buy out other places and centralize your people instead.

  19. Chinese people please don't add more Chinese people in this world, we don't need you.

  20. Msnbc acting like usa population isn't declining as well. Why do u think mass immigrants keep coming in the southern border? 😂

  21. The population should be lower in the U.S. too😮‍💨

  22. I don't understand what they talkin bout, i see alot of babies and mothers congregating

  23. Overpopulation is killing this earth but i dont think we are ready for that conversation yet.

  24. Correction, the CCP says the economy is growing.

  25. Finally people are showing intelligence 👏

  26. Just what DINCs plan to do in the US

  27. But China’s GDP grew according to the number they made up 5 years ago

  28. Have more kids so we Elites can remain in power and luxury while we control your lives, no thanks.

  29. Chinese numbers also can't be trusted.

  30. who wants to live in China! even the Chinese are seeking asylum in the US!
