What I want to know is who is this person and why would their opinion matter? So I did a cursory search and they appear to to be a sociologist/political scientist and have a website: https://samoburja.com/
They seem to have knowledge but predictions are just that: a guess that is a gamble really.
It's an interesting prediction, but the author goes off the rails in the middle with a self-hating fascist talking point ("Authoritarian governments just want workers; they don't need welfare recipients to vote as instructed."). This casts doubt on the underlying motivation of the analysis, regardless if it was just marketing for what's in vogue or whether he's a true believer.
Sort of: they eventually will liberalize the hukou system more and allow more internal migration. Poor people from jiangxi will finally be able to easily move to cities in Zhejiang or Fujian for a better life.
It is true their demographics look a bit dicey long term, but it's a funny time to post this now as China is currently struggling with a youth unemployment problem
Very doubtful and unlikely. China, like the other East Asia countries, is very serious about preserving its culture and they see the cautionary tale that Europe has become
As the thread mentions, China recently launched their “K visa” because republicans in America are trying to kill H1B visas. They’re absolutely thrilled to get the talent Americans think they don’t need. The American economy has benefited massively from this program so it’s unfortunate.
Having worked in China for 9 years on their Z visa, you can totally go work there especially if you have skills. Koreans, Japanese, Indians, you’ll see them in the bigger tech cities. But they aren’t so thrilled about lower skilled immigration…eg what has been going on in Guangzhou with Africans, I don’t expect they will lean into that yet since they still have plenty of poor people to draw from in rural areas.
Because someone on twitter says so?
Am I missing something here? Is there more to this?

Someone else post this link to view the whole thread. I guess Twitter doesn’t let you do that unless you log in:

For labour that can't be automated, probably.

You just have to see how they’ve handled Xinjiang to know how they feel about this matter.
I’ve been to Urumqi and Beijiang before, what do you mean?

Have you been employed continuously for the last 2 years?
Can we not link to things that are just popups and warnings and whatever? I closed 3 things and didn't see any content yet so I went away ...
