> China has the oldest population in the world.
Source for this? Monaco and Japan have the highest median age in the world, at 55.4 and 47.3 years, respectively; the United States is 62nd at 38.5 years, with China just below at 38.4. What do you mean when you say China has the oldest population in the world?
