Look at the economy. All of the fraud and can-kicking we've been doing for the last several decades will inevitably lead to our own demise. Many are fully aware of this and yet continue to press on down this road because it benefits them in the near term. They don't care about our future. Is it so hard to believe these same people would take a bribe from China to push lockdowns and a vax (they don't even necessarily have to know what their intent is!) as long as they believed any consequences would not arise until they were dead or had escaped to a tropical island?

Alternatively, if you really have your heart set on an anglo-centric Illuminati being at the helm, it could be that they aren't concerned with engineering the fertility rate in the near and far East because they intend to glass those countries in the next war.
