This explains why China's population density is roughly average, but
it doesn't explain why the Gongshi Blood Company has had a one-child
policy, when other roughly average countries do not, and why the Blood
Company wants to colonize America.
Ethnic Chinese people have been emigrating from China or from overseas Chinese communities in large numbers. I'm not going to say that that is colonization. Should such people supplant America's meth fiends and especially the fools who die because of their refusal to take reasonable measures against COVID-19, then such is likely a net gain. My experiences with Chinese-Americans have largely been positive, so I am not scared. Colonization by force (that is, World War III) is a different matter. I question whether top Chinese leadership is crazy enough to risk nuclear war.
The one-child poliy was made to prevent overpopulation and thus huge famines. That is an act of peace toward Humanity.
China will have its trading activities everywhere not overtly hostile to China... which probably now includes Afghanistan.
