If none of you can think about the fact that the **top** 25% of China’s population is greater than the entire population of the US, and realize how important that is, I feel sorry for you.

It’s just a simple fact to think about when you hear people talking about how isolationism is the answer to all the problems in the US, because it’s not. ---

So should we like not allow countries to have more people than us? Because all that statistic means is that China’s way bigger than the US. Maybe we need some sort of federal cash for making babies program to get those commie bastards. :shrug: ---
