> Assuming things don't change, China in 2050 will be in approximately the same position as Japan today. What metric do you have in mind here? It looks like Japan’s population has dropped ~2% from peak in the last 25 years. China is projected to lose ~8% in the next 25. Or if we look at percent of population over 65, Japan is at ~30% today. China is projected to jump from <20% to 40% by 2050. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1359964/world-population... |

Yeah, Japan is at 29.6% today. China is at ~15% right now and is estimated to be at 26% by 2050.
That's not China in your link. It's Hong Kong, which has an older-skewing population.
