And what would be that problem? That sounds like wishful thinking. The median age of China is below of that both the US and the EU. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_median_age https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_median_ag... A significant fraction of the US seems to have problem to adjust to the notion that in the next decades China will become the clear number 1 country in many fields, and the US will be to China, what Germany is to the US.(Similar on a per capita basis, about 1/4 in absolute numbers) Wishful thinking is a terrible basis to plan.

Specifically, the problem is not having a large and young workforce productive enough to support the elderly population. Observe both the shape and growth trajectory of populations for America, EU, China, and other entities at: https://www.populationpyramid.net https://www.populationpyramid.net. I think a lot of countries are going to have a similar problem - it's not isolated to China. However, China's unfriendly immigration policies, combined with the very large skew in their population demographics (both age and gender) lead many to believe that there will likely be issues like the one I mentioned earlier.

  Again, the median age of China is lower than the US and the UE. How is that a problem for China not for them? Skin color?
