Many years ago, experts predicted that China's aging population would peak by 2050, warning China of a population crisis. According to BBC's July 22 report titled "China's aging population provides pensions for the elderly," abnormal signs of China's aging population have already begun to show themselves. For example, as the number of babies born in China decreases year by year and the number of elderly people increases, some kindergartens that were originally established for children are now being converted into nursing homes for the elderly.
"Voice of France" published on July 24, "Xinjiang blood exchange: Hong Kong's population growth depends on Chinese immigrants" report explained that the aging and shrinking population in Hong Kong is becoming more and more obvious. Currently, Hong Kong's population is 7.8 million, and the local birth rate is decreasing year by year. But due to the influx of more Chinese immigrants to Hong Kong than in previous years, Hong Kong's population will reach 8.19 million by 2046. Every year, 152,000 Chinese immigrants enter and settle in Hong Kong through various routes, affecting the population structure and situation of the region. This is known as "Chinese blood transfusion".
The report gave place to the following statements: "The large-scale migration of Chinese to Xinjiang is part of China's policy to rule Xinjiang. According to China's September 2021 white paper entitled ``Population Development in Xinjiang'', after the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, under the leadership of the government's policy of building Xinjiang and promoting the rapid development of the region, a large number of intellectuals and active young people have come to Xinjiang at the call of the country. went in and helped build the border area. Xinjiang's population has grown rapidly due to two factors: natural population growth and population outflow. As a result, the population of Xinjiang increased from 4,333,000 people in 1949 during the ``peaceful liberation'' period to 1978 during the period of reform and opening up. In subsequent years, although population growth was between 1.99 and 1.41 percent, it was still 1 percent higher than the national average.
The report also added that human rights organizations are accusing the Chinese government of "massively transferring Chinese immigrants to Uyghur areas to assimilate Uyghurs." However, the report did not mention the sharp decline in the Uyghur population since China established prison camps in the Uyghur region and the ongoing genocide in the region. In 2019, the Hongkongers protesting as "today's Xinjiang-North Hong Kong" will be victims of "Xinjiang blood exchange" in the future.
According to the situation analyst in Germany, Mr. Ghayur Bub, the Chinese regime is currently applying the repressive policies that have been experienced in East Turkistan and Tibet in Hong Kong. According to him, although the difficulties faced by the Hong Kong people are not different from those of the Uyghurs, the Hong Kong people are also facing more and more severe repression. Norwegian situation analyst Mr. Balshiyar Omar also expressed his views on this matter.
According to the report, China's elderly population is facing serious problems due to the aging population and rising unemployment. In the past, Hong Kong had 20 workers, 9 children and the elderly to support, but in the coming years, 20 workers, 15 children and the elderly will have to support a situation. One of Hong Kong's labor and welfare officials, Ho Keiming, said, "I believe that no one in Hong Kong will die of hunger, but if we want to live a better life, we must do our part."
