They went abtoad for tourism and to open some businness
Specifically, they went to *Siberia*.
I don't need to tell you, what that means.

No, it's more a rent-to-own situation, I think. 🤔
Now that all of Siberia's fighting men are in Ukraine, China has been kind enough to repopulate that region with its own. Which might get a bit awkward, if the original residents ever try to return.
Every time I see this theory the number gets lower. If they really had a pop of 500m that would make their economic rise even more impressive

I was expecting the theory to be that they have false stats since a long time ago and now can't retract, that would make sense

However, I believe official population numbers of mist states are wrong, simply because most states incentivize regions when they claim a higher population.
that makes more sense than the thesis in the video
