What Jiang said

“In 50 years time, South Korea will lose 80% of its people. North Korea will also lose people. But just if there's no war, eventually South Korea will go to zero and North Korea will still be around.”

Analysis

South Korea's fertility rate of 0.81 vs North Korea's 1.81 means demographic collapse; affects long-term military viability
