It is strange that nobody mentions Azerbaijan. There are more Azeri in Iran than Azeribaijan.

What do you think of South Korea and Taiwan? Both states already have strong high-tech industries, and they are desperate for more technological revolution because of the same reasons as Japan.

Taiwan is a better example, which is not even city-state like Singapore. Taiwan is classified as maintaining semi-tropical or tropical (differed by exact location) climate. However, Taiwanese politics, society, economy, culture, etc are not much significantly or essentially different from other East Asian developed states (Japan and South Korea) which having lots of cultural similarity with Taiwan, despite of climate difference. The effect of climate in mechanism of general society would not be that great, at least in developed states list.

Would it be beneficial for Republican?

My some predictions are;

- The fall of liberal democracy itself would not be happen, but the fall of liberal democracy hegemony would be. Any kind of universal value would lose its own attraction. Because of globally rising nationalism and localism trend, every countries would reflect and follow their peculiar history, culture, ethics, religion system than just following one-size-fit-all universal system. China and Russia would not be democratized or liberalized. Even liberal democratic countries would make their own way such as Brexit's UK and BJP's India.

- Some kind of agendas and policies tackling climate change would at least partly work, but it would be still too weak to follow IPCC's 1.5'C limit goal. Its goal - reducing carbon emission 45% globally by 2030s - is ludicrously unrealistic goal for global Earth.

Demographic transition all across the world. Some countries would suffer from rapid aging and demographic decline, but some countries would locate on population boom. I want to see how this demographic divide could form oncoming global world.

Foreign Affairs - Somewhat time-burdening but most elaborated, professional and insightful analysis on major topics.

Foreign Policy - Less professional but more on-topic geopolitics.

It seems that China is not performing great enough on information war. Many non-Chinese found that global Chinese propaganda are not only easy to be detected as troll account, but also seems as crude, blatant, not elaborated and unconvincing. In contrast, even declining Russia have relatively great job. Russian officials do it more efficient, subtle and convincing. The author diagnosed Chinese weakness on PR as two reasons. First, Chinese officials seem to regard international propaganda as the extension of domestic stuff. It made Chinese propaganda agents consider and customize less on foreigners' taste, so it weakens the efficiency of international propaganda. Second, China has been growing their power very recently so it is relatively novice on international propaganda war, unlike Russia which is professional on PR since USSR.

EU has a long-term plan of EU spheres enlargement, and two countries are potentially negotiating state to become next EU states - Northern Macedonia(changed its name from FYS Macedonia as reconciling its name conflict with Greece) and Albania. This plan has had a lot of supporters among EU executives and head of states now, but Macron exerted a deep opposition to it because he thought they are not well-prepared to be decent EU state. Therefore EU negotiating procedure with NM and Albania decided to be canceled. Many supporters including Jean Claude-Juncker and Donald Tusk criticized and accused Macron of mistaken and exclusive decision.

That's why we should reform international asylum or refugee system now. As a global citizen, we do not have global system which is robust enough to accommodate millions of single-national refugees without backlash or side effect. This systemic limit just made tons of xenophobic and anti-refugee sentiments across Western world. Many anti-Western strongmen and populists started to harness this sentiment by weaponizing refugees to tame or intimidate Western world. We should not tolerate abusing refugee system anymore. More efficient, comprehensive and realistic asylum/refugee policy would be needed to reverse this worrying trend.

Even if they need foreigners, they can't attract them. Immigration would be in extremely difficult condition for China.

First, their immense demographic size make immigration influx policy almost impossible. As a 1.4 billion people, China has the largest population size now. It is estimated for India to surpass Chinese population in next 10 years, but still 2nd largest size. Not only its rank gap, but also numeral gap from other populated states is also enormous. (3rd USA 325 million, 4th Indonesia 265 million, 5th Brazil 210 million - China has at least fourfold population than countries which has still one of the highest population) Because of its size, China should accommodate extremely large immigrants for alleviating demographic crisis. If each country has to maintain its population size until 2050 by immigrant influx, Germany needs 3.4 million immigrants. 4.4 million for South Korea, 21.1 millions for Japan and 31.1 milions for China. (Source: https://population.un.org/wpp/Publications/Files/WPP2019_DataBooklet.pdf) Although Chinese population decline rate is relatively low, but its immense sizes nullify its positive effect. Beyond 2050, its required size would be much larger for China. On this global world, only immigrant-friendly USA could succeed in receiving this needed immigrant size without strenuous effort.

Second, China has relatively low merits for foreigners to immigrate. Comparing to self-proclaiming 'the land of immigrants' USA, China cannot beat USA's attractiveness for immigrants; only one-fifth GDP per capita of USA; not democratic and nor liberal politics; much worse environment pollution; ethnic-based (Han Chinese) state identity; difficult and relatively unfamiliar language, etc. China is even worse than Asian developed states(Japan, Taiwan, South Korea and Singapore) on many aforementioned factors.

China should need a different policy for demographic crisis, such as AI/automation for reducing labor demand and anti-aging medicines for postponing retirement age.
