Jiang predicts that within roughly five to ten years Japan could become the only country capable of resolving elderly demographic pressure, because its cohesive culture could support an organic elder-led willingness to choose euthanasia as a sacrifice for society.
Jiang argues that if 10 to 20 percent of Japanese elders voluntarily chose to die rather than remain a burden, the signal would rejuvenate society, energize the young, and make Japan more economically dynamic and militarily vibrant in East Asia.

Fukuyama's end of history becomes, in this lecture, a temporary American spell: Pax Americana, science-priesthood, and dollar worship.
The interview opens as a first-week war briefing and then keeps widening.
The host begins by asking how Jiang became a public analyst and ends by asking how history itself gets rewritten.
The interview starts in Venezuela and ends in Chinese classrooms, but Jiang treats the whole route as one argument about empire under strain: Washington uses frontier pressure to force China into carrying the American...
