Is China running out of people?

[The Lawspeaker]

Beijing has industrialized faster than any nation in history. Now, it is also ageing faster than any nation.
There is no doubt that China is emerging as a regional powerhouse. In the past thirty years, its GDP has grown from just 177 billion USD to 12,2 trillion USD. But there is a flaw in China’s model of growth. Demographic data shows that the country is now facing a severe decline in population. China’s fertility rate is dropping, people are living longer, and the workforce is shrinking. For a country whose young workforce is the backbone of its economy, these demographic trends are harbingers of social, economic and political disaster.

Uhm... maybe they need to think of employing Europe's "secret weapon" of demographics, i.e. mass immigration? We always hear about how positive it is for the economy and society... even essential.

I've had this thougth as well

[oh-nahhh]

Maybe when the oceans run out of water.
