It's much more just population. Rapid population growth and then a one child policy has left China with a population bulge. Right now that bulge is 25-60ish which gives China a large amount of workers compared to children and the elderly. In 20-30 years that's going to switch and they will have a large amount of retirees supported by a relatively small amount of workers.
