It is. I think lots of countries are just run quite differently to what we are used to.

Both China and India are two huge societies that have massive internal population bodies that are basically unseeable from outside.

I know I don’t understand what these societies are like on the inside.

India’s demographic pyramid is also pretty clean and their population has a high fraction of children. Only 5% of Indians are over 60.

Their peak cohort is currently 16, so expect their economy to foom over next 15 years.

With all this in mind, probably makes sense to avert any sort of famine and promote social cohesion. They’re really in the starting blocks.
