Population density thread because you and I both know you have nothing better to do.

Let's start with this cool way to visualize population density, by @undertheraedar. The height of each spike displays the population density in that location. pic.twitter.com/Y6lDpHjEga

China's population pyramid through 2100 is quite wild - reflective of a population that's set to halve, from 1.4 billion to ~700 million, in that time frame. pic.twitter.com/r6kEk1Uqnw

From dark blue to green this is how the global population pyramid changed from 1950 to today.
And in shades of yellow the UN projections for the change expected during our lifetimes.

Our daughter Ilhan...

We need a Marshall Plan for Africa.

We must invest in solutions on the continent – whether it is in agricultural productivity, infrastructure, democratic governance, combating extremism, or tackling the climate crisis.

We have an opportunity to build a partnership that undoes centuries of distrust and colonization, and helps create a truly resilient and self-reliant Africa.

Vox explains Belt and Road

China's trillion dollar plan to dominate global trade: China's Belt and Road Initiative is the most ambitious infrastructure project in modern history. It spans over 60 countries and will cost over a trillion dollars. The plan is to make it easier for the world to trade with China, by funding roads, railways, pipelines, and other infrastructure projects in Asia and Africa. China is loaning trillions of dollars to any country that's willing to participate and it's been a big hit with the less democratic countries in the region. This makes the BRI a risky plan as well. But China is pushing forward because its goals are not strictly economic, they're also geopolitical.
