I am not a great fan of Peter Zeihan. He is an ideologue and I find most of his conclusions consequently tainted. But one thing he does better than anybody else is incorporate resources and population in his economic forecast which very few other analysts can lacking the knowledge.
In the video below, he makes a few predictions, one of which I have already heard which stipulate that the population of China is not as high as it is said. This looks preposterous at first glance: How could a country like China not count accurately its population? But then, when you look at the details, it makes more and more sense. Is the disparity as large as what he says: 300 millions? There is probably no way to know. But think about it, if this was even remotely true, this would change almost all the other data we think we know about China. First the country would automatically be richer than calculated, and then there is the age pyramid imbalance which he talks about extensively in the video below:
