Peter Zeihan seems to think China is in the worst shape by far, and it's not even close.


Official TFR for 2021 in China was 1.15, and China data is always suspect. They didn’t mitigate economic challenges for common prosperity earlier enough, young people are bailing on family formation (for obvious reasons), and it’s likely that their TFR won’t only fall further into the future but also get “locked in.”

TLDR China is Speedrunning Japan’s demographic and economic transition/decline.
