Can anyone explain the new talking point about some miscounted population in China causing economic devastation? First I heard a random acquaintance mention it at some lunch (which was immediately dismissed by our Chinese friend present at the table). Then I just saw the linked YouTube video in my recommended. I couldn't even stomach whatever brainworms they must be hocking to watch it.

Just hoping someone can explain whatever the hell they're on about.
