A college professor once told me that if China hadn’t had that one-child rule, America would be a Chinese speaking nation. His thought behind the statement was that one billion people having lots of babies couldn’t help but burst a nations flimsy borders. And where is the coolest place to immigrate? Well, anywhere first world really, but at the time he was thinking of the US.

I would like to take the time to tell that professor he was wrong – probably because he didn’t take all of China’s floating ghost cities into account. You can build one on the cheap – and they’d probably house as many babies as you could float into them.
