Are China’s ‘talent dividends’ enough to sustain the country’s rise?

South China Morning Post

The ageing population in China is raising questions over the sustainability of China's economic growth. India recently replaced it as the most populous country in the world, prompting analysts to question whether China's demographic dividends - a large workforce without significant burden on younger or older generations - will continue. According to the Seventh National Chinese Population Census, the age dependency ratio in China increased to 46.3% in 2021. The UN predicts the total dependency ratio could exceed 75% by 2055. China has encouraged young couples to have children, but analysts are sceptical about the incentives' effectiveness. China should turn its focus to technology and innovation, especially in the sector of aged care, as a way of mitigating this growing demographic issue.

Why China fears Starlink

Economist

23-05-18 12:47


China is concerned about the potential impact the SpaceX-run Starlink could have on its geopolitical ambitions. Starlink, a mega-constellation of satellites, provides off-grid high-bandwidth internet access, and has been vital to Ukraine’s war effort, allowing soldiers to communicate, identify targets and upload videos. With the system hard to jam, China fears it could put Russia at a disadvantage and make a Chinese invasion of Taiwan more difficult. However, Beijing also has ambitions of becoming a space power and is working on its own satellite internet systems. Concerns over crowded crowded skies and satellite collision have also been raised. In 2021, two of Starlink’s satellites were on a collision course with a Chinese space station, forcing it to move, while China fears the increasing number of satellites could place pressure on a limited low-Earth orbit space.

Decoding China’s Counter-Espionage Crackdown

China's counter-espionage drive, the expansion of local offices at international consulting firms, and the arrests of several individuals all serve as warning signs to foreign businesses considering future expansion in the country. Beijing's public accusations represent a significant escalation that may force many companies to re-evaluate their goals and assess the risks associated with operating in China. As the definition of sensitive areas appears to have expanded, companies must be even more cautious to avoid any appearance of espionage, which could lead to ongoing investigations and potential legal action.
