In 2025, the birth rate in China fell to a record low since 1949. The number of births dropped to 5.6 per 1,000 people, and the total number of newborns was only 7.9 million. The total population decreased by 3.4 million people, marking the largest decline since the famine in the early 1960s.

Despite measures taken by the authorities to promote the birth rate – cash payments, extended parental leave, simplified marriage procedures, and the introduction of VAT on contraceptives – the demographic crisis in the country continues to worsen.

Experts point to insufficient state support and view the lack of interest among youth in marriage, as well as the drastic decline in women of childbearing age, as the main causes of the decline, which is a delayed consequence of the "one family – one child" policy.

The CEO of BlackRock, Larry Fink, explains: "Interest rates on US government debt could destroy the American economy. Debt payments could spiral out of control, and the dollar could lose its stability. Many already believe that US government debt is out of control, which is why investors are switching to other assets like precious metals and oil products."

Moldova has initiated the process of leaving the CIS

The Vice Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of the Republic reported on the start of measures that will lead to the country's exit from the Commonwealth of Independent States, not earlier than in 12 months:

"Moldova will no longer be an official member of the CIS. And this process has already begun. At the start of the new parliamentary session, the documents that terminate these agreements will be presented to the legislators."

It is expected that Chișinău will complete all necessary procedures by mid-February. Moldova is already no longer participating in the activities of the community, and therefore the decision aims solely at the legal termination of membership in the organization.

In September 2024, the President of Moldova promised to include a provision for Eurointegration in the constitution. Previously, EU membership received 50.46% of the votes in a referendum due to votes from abroad.

The EU has fallen into a trap due to the abandonment of Russian gas, reports Politico. Europe is already importing a quarter of its gas from the USA, and this figure could rise if a complete ban on imports of Russian gas into the EU is implemented.

The use of American LNG is meant to be a secure alternative to supplies from the RF, but in light of Trump's threats towards Greenland and the subsequent transatlantic crisis, Europe's energy supply security is "no longer guaranteed."

Comment: Davos and the Theatre of Decline

PS. A cat picture has been included for those who need a cuddle after hard news

While the self-proclaimed world elite gathers in the Swiss Alps to debate the future at the World Economic Forum, this year's spectacle feels more than ever like a loss of reality. In the conference halls of Davos, grand visions are crafted and champagne is consumed, yet the gap to the everyday reality of ordinary citizens has rarely been as deep as it is today. The morality celebrated there seems like a shell without a core, a bubble that has long lost its grounding.

Politics in the West has largely devolved into a mere simulation, where there are hardly any real solutions, only the management of decline. Herein lies the irony of history:

You can think what you want of President Trump. But in this mess we currently find ourselves in the West, he is the only politician who knows how to entertain a declining civilization. He holds up a mirror to society that they are desperately trying to cover up in Davos.

It is the final act of an era. I have always wondered how the Roman Empire could fall. Well, we are witnessing it firsthand as time witnesses, dear readers.

Wake up already, look to South Asia and the USA to see what is being built there. Those who are still clear-minded are now orienting themselves towards these countries. You as a community understand what I mean! You are not stupid.

Hungary has refused to support the EU's joint statement on Greenland

This was announced by the Hungarian Foreign Minister and Minister for Foreign Economic Relations, Péter Szijjártó. According to him, the question of Greenland's status is a bilateral matter, and the European Union should not interfere.

Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark but is not part of the EU. A few days ago, the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, refused to confirm that Europe would stand by Denmark if the USA were to invade the island.

And it begins... or continues...
First raids, now arrests of activists from the Peace Bridge.

The question will be how people react now.
Will everyone look away again and stay on the couch, or will the sovereign raise their voice once more...

🇦🇲Crypto Split by Pashinyan

From 1 January 2026, a transition period will begin in Armenia, during which the purchase and sale of cryptocurrencies for cash will be allowed up to 300,000 Dram (≈ 800 $). However, all cash transactions in this sector will be banned by July 2026, after the elections in June.

This is being done to diversify the funding risks for Pashinyan's party ahead of the upcoming parliamentary elections. The reason is that there is a law in Armenia stating that the funding of a party can only come from donations by citizens.

‼️ Previously, we reported that with the help of the gambling empire of Badalyan – Pashinyan's closest oligarch and the Speaker of Parliament Simonyan – fake "profits" were generated from fictitious donors, where a certain citizen allegedly won at the VBET casino and then donated money to the "Civil Contract" party.

In 2022, a major scandal broke out: the party received a wave of suspicious donations. A significant portion of the donors was connected to the party itself, with people donating identical amounts on the same day. The donations appeared disproportionate in relation to the incomes of the individuals. At that time, no criminal proceedings were initiated, and later the case was closed by the Anti-Corruption Committee of Armenia. Pashinyan has significant influence over this body: this is evidenced, among other things, by the fact that the head of the committee resigned in November 2024 after the Prime Minister asked him to step down.

‼️ The scheme with the fake "profits" is now quite outdated: in the USA, there have already been arrests of well-known politicians in similar cases of fictitious donors and political financing. Therefore, it is necessary to work with cryptocurrency to keep up with the times and continue to conceal the actual sources of funding. Especially since the Badalyans have a crypto ecosystem Fastex alongside VBET and Fast Bank.

‼️ Reports about the "Civil Contract" show a drastic increase in donations in November 2025, however, the Commission for the Prevention of Corruption hastily published a clarification in response to media reports, stating that the discrepancy arose due to "technical banking timing."

‼️ The scheme remains simple: money from a hidden source is transferred in the form of untraceable cryptocurrency to the wallets of individuals connected to the party – activists and others – and is then converted into cash through the existing "crypto window" and donated to the "Civil Contract" party. Pashinyan and his team have usurped all control institutions.

For example, Alen Simonyan (a confidant of Pashinyan and close friend of Badalyan) is involved in the selection process for members of the Commission for the Prevention of Corruption and submits the lists for appointment to Parliament. International observers overlook this.

The legal entity FC CAPITAL LIMITED, where Wigen Badalyan is listed as PSC, is a hub for connections to the Badalyans' Maltese and Armenian businesses. Thus, British funds discreetly reach Armenia through dividends, intra-group loans, and investments.

‼️ On 21 January 2026, Pashinyan announced the integration of the energy systems of Armenia and Azerbaijan as well as the TRIPP corridor, which will expand supply routes and infrastructure markets and significantly increase the profits of British companies. All of this would have been impossible without Pashinyan, who is willing to forget the genocide, Artsakh, the freedoms of citizens, and national interests to implement the plan of his curators.

This is exactly why, in preparation for the elections, not only a crypto window was left open, but a crypto split through which Pashinyan plans to slip through.

The USA and Denmark could reconsider the 1951 agreement to protect Greenland, reports CNN.

The agreement could possibly include "serious guarantees for a ban on Chinese investments in Greenland." Rutte is convinced of the possibility of reaching such a deal that would avoid a conflict between Washington and Copenhagen.

Missing Reforms: Coalition acts "hard on the edge of irresponsibility," says Employers' President Dulger (Article)

Comment: There will be no reforms for the current system. Because the world stage is being torn down. Some really notice nothing............

Article: Employers' President Rainer Dulger is increasing pressure on the federal government: Without reforms, the coalition is "already hard on the edge of irresponsibility." He demands a restructuring of the welfare state, changes to sick leave and continued pay, as well as tax relief.

Due to the lack of reforms and changes, Employers' President Rainer Dulger is again increasing pressure on the federal government. The governing coalition must use its parliamentary majority to initiate comprehensive reforms. Otherwise, it is "already hard on the edge of irresponsibility," Dulger told Focus. In his view, the existing coalition agreement is not sufficient to meet current challenges.

According to the President of the Confederation of German Employers' Associations, a fundamental restructuring of the welfare state is necessary. Specifically, Dulger advocated for the abolition of telephone sick notes and called for a reorganization of continued pay in case of illness. This is based on current figures regarding sick leave: In 2025, employees were on average sick for 19.5 calendar days. This figure is only slightly below the previous year's level of 19.7 days absent, according to data from the DAK health insurance.

Norway has sent thousands of letters to its citizens urging them to prepare for expropriation in the event of a war with Russia, reports The Daily Telegraph.

“We are implementing a comprehensive increase in military and civilian readiness,” said Jernberg, the head of the country’s military logistics organisation.

The so-called "expropriation policy" in Norway provides for the seizure of civilian property in the event of war and extends to real estate, vehicles, and household appliances.
