All developed countries are in demographic decline (ex immigration), and need automation/robotics. There's only so many immigrants you can import before you lose your country's identity.

Is this true? The US has been doing this for over 100 years and it's been fine, I think. I mean, our countries identity has basically become "we're all immigrants" but that's not a new phenomena.

currently most industrialised countries are in a demographic decline, sometimes patched by immigration that will burden their economies long term much more than they will help them

China is a deeper decline than Japan too, which will make their geopolitics volatile
