China Is Doomed

 I've written myself and linked to many articles about the rapid demographic decline that has already started, including how it will hit China particularly hard because of its one-child policy and rapid industrialization. The only groups that seem immune to demographic decline once it hits a society are the highly religious. But there is only one god allowed under socialism, and that is the government, so of course we read: "Wenzhou, Parents Asked to Sign a 'Kindergarten Family Commitment Not to Believe in Religion'" from Bitterwinter.org. From the article:

    ... At the beginning of March, Christian parents from the Longwan District of Wenzhou, Zhejiang, sent to several human rights media pledges they are required to sign to have their children, aged 3 to 6, continue to attend kindergarten. The documents look genuine, and similar texts have been circulated previously in China. 

    The document is called a “Kindergarten Family Commitment Not to Believe in Religion” and should be signed by the parents, who should indicate the name of the children.  

    The parents promise to lead “civilized families” who “do not believe in religion, do not participate in any religious activities, do not teach religion to children.” Parents commit that they and their children will stay away from “Falun Gong of any other xie jiao,” avoid ‘feudal superstition,” and teach kindergarten children faith in science, socialism, and the Chinese Communist Party.

    Campaigns for atheism may become more or less visible, but never subsided in China. Xi Jinping himself has repeatedly insisted that scientific atheism is an essential feature of Marxism, and popular culture is mobilized to inculcate this idea. The total prohibition of any religious education for Chinese children is part of these campaigns, and kindergartens are just another agency expected to enforce it.

 I believe that China's demographic decline will be even more rapid than the worst case models currently circulating.
