China 2026
中国
China enters 2027 with 1,404.89 million people, a population that fell by 3.39 million in 2025 and in which 15.9% are aged 65 or over. The climate is moving visibly: 2025 tied 2024 as the warmest year since 1951 at 10.9 °C, the national average of hot days was the highest since 1961, and the rainy season in North China set records for both rainfall and duration.

01 · Readings
China in six readings.
Six readings that frame the China baseline, and the eight questions this edition answers, each with its status and source.
02 · Sectors
Six sectors, one hexagon.
Water first, then Energy, Infrastructure, Food, Health and Biodiversity. Each count is the findings of this edition in that sector: coverage of the evidence, never a score. Infrastructure is not assessed: the edition holds no Infrastructure finding and its coupling matrix does not assess it.
- WAT水1 finding
1,992 m³ Renewable internal freshwater per person, 2022. □報告値
About 1,990 m³ of renewable freshwater per person; rain is uneven in space and time; floods and scarcity coexist.

54.8% Coal share of electricity generation, 2025. □報告値
Coal 54.8% of electricity; wind and solar fast-growing at 21.9%.

Dense networks and underground spaces; failures in flood events documented.
- FOO食料1 finding
714.88 million t Grain output, 2025. □報告値
Grain output 714.88 million t; cereal imports forecast well below average.

Protected land 15.6%, protected waters 4.8%, forest 24.0% of land.
Outside the six sectors: Climate forcing 3, Finance 1, SEI 1, Systemic 1.
03 · Hazard exposure
The hazards this edition reads.
The edition’s own risk objects, in its order, each read across driver, exposure, vulnerability, capacity, cascade and horizon. The hexagon marks the sectors the cascade reaches; the domain beside each is an editorial reading of its hazard words.

Scenario · SCN-CHN-FLD-01
Extreme rain on a dense plain in a hot summer
Under this scenario, results describe a conditional season under stated assumptions. It is not a forecast, and no intervention described here has been carried out.

04 · Couplings
How the sectors carry risk into each other.
The China matrix types the twenty couplings between the five core システム. Strengths are Nexus estimates from the cited evidence and analogue events; they set the starting graph that the Q1 2027 Foundry cut will test.
| 起点 | WAT | ENE | FOO | HLT | BIO |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| WAT | · | Strong | Strong | 中程度 | Strong |
| ENE | 中程度 | · | Strong | Strong | 中程度 |
| FOO | 中程度 | Weak | · | Strong | Strong |
| HLT | Weak | Weak | 中程度 | · | Weak |
| BIO | Strong | 中程度 | Strong | 中程度 | · |
Water: 4 couplings out, 4 in; Energy: 4 couplings out, 4 in; Food: 4 couplings out, 4 in; Health: 4 couplings out, 4 in; Biodiversity: 4 couplings out, 4 in. Infrastructure is not in the coupling matrix: none of the edition matrices types it, so it carries no value.
