After Effects - Chinese Mejii
What if China had pulled a Mejii in the 1870's, along with Japan.
Let us assume that [ITTL] Japan's Economic/Technical/Social development follows OTLs Japan, and China's is roughly Similar.
I am think of a 1870's Military Coup with an [ASB POD] in the 1850's -- BUT I am interested as to what our Modern world would look like.
China and Japan will be first world Countries, moving like the US/Europe into the post Industrial Economy.
China like Japan will have gone thru the Post industrial 3rd Generation Demographic Shift in the 1950's, and like Japan & Europe has a less than replacement birthrate, for it's 600?? million population.
Japan's is 1.1, is China's [ITTL] would be close to that. meaning that it's 600 would be 450 by 2050.
