um you do realize that china doesn't have a retirement pension system for their elderly like the U.S. right? when you get old, your family supports you, not the govt, not the workforce.No, the birth rate is currently low and dropping. And they don't have enough people to support the future elderly population. ~550 million Chinese people will be entering retirement age in the next 40 years and the pool of people to support them is shrinking every year. It's a problem acknowledged by many experts. You have already shown yourself to not know what you're talking about... China's population is ~1.4B, and it took them ~60 years to go from 500M to that 1.4B. So you don't even know China's population or rate of growth. I'm not surprised you don't know it's birth rate or understand the implications of its birth rate having been, and forecasted to remain under 2.1 for decades. And this doesn't even factor in all of China's environmental issues. Anyone who thinks China is positioned to be some superpower doesn't know what's going on.
-sigh- ya I dont know what I'm talking about.
your last line, who said anythiing about china being a superpower? man wtf is going on here.
