According to a recent article by Michael Schumann, a contributor to The Atlantic, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) lacks a long-term strategy. With falling fertility rates, the Party is facing an existential crisis. Furthermore, Party members have no idea how to combat it. “The country is getting old, and quickly,” writes Schuman, and the country’s “economic progress” looks set to be reversed. Although China’s population is indeed aging rapidly, Schuman’s piece is more than a little disingenuous.
