Indeed.  Fun ideas in your list, Stuart.

The reason for commenting on Japan: ever wonder if Japan has gone so far
down that line of disincentivizing childbirth that it is just too damn late
for that society to react?  Notice how low the birth rate is in Japan and
China: 1.39 and 1.45.  Both countries realize what a fix they are in.  If
China doesn't produce more young men, they will have a hard time fielding an
army.  Solution: robot armies.

Regarding the Chinese grabbing Taiwan, if they are patient, the place will
be practically deserted.  Each generation is just over half the size of the
previous, with a birth rate of 1.09, bottom of the chart.

It might be too late for Japan and Taiwan.  Having babies has been out of
fashion so long, it now is difficult to bring it back.
