China is a major problem for the world.

Demographics is the issue but it is based on the skewed Chinese view that males are preferable to females. This childbirth policy is estimated to lead to roughly 1 million "spare" males in a couple of decades. This is not a condition that is conducive to world peace with that many men and not enough women.

One solution to this problem is the unusual demographic in Russia which will basically end up with alot of old men and alot of young women. The theory is that the young Russian women are introduced to the young Chinese men and global peace breaks out. Quite how this will happen is not clear and unfortunately the arithmetic still leaves alot of men with too much time and testosterone. Maybe it will become the first tl/fwi superpower in history.
