RE: China's Population Crisis / 中国的人口问题
The world will be very different in 2030-40... robots, advanced healthcare possibilities - I think some of the problems anticipated will never come to pass.

interesting you mention AI and robots. China is about to surpass Japan in Robots and AI development. Mostly due to buying European (German) technology. However I dont believe AI will save China from this problem. Elderly care is a big issue all over the world. In China its really new idea to have to think about who will take care of the elderly.
In so many ways, positive ways, China is the America of 1950's, which pisses of America cause China is leading the way in small businesses and being an entrepreneur. Being a little guy in USA trying to make a life is thousand times more difficult today than it is in China. As long as america war machine stays strong they will always be on top but politically and socially China is very non violent and deserves the win in those merits. But we are all animals and dog eat dog.
What a top class comment, solarguy. You're totally right about China's technological advances given mass production output and the economies of scale we have been enjoying for many years now. But yes, the bigger picture of how the tech will assist with the elderly is an unknown. We can only speculate as to what the outcome will be, but without certainty.
Physical assistance for the elderly will still require humans unless androids are created. I'm pretty certain that won't be by 2040. Many questions, many theories, but ultimately leading to only guesses for now.
Also, I see the future race between the US and China for supremacy being a very close two-horse race, but this cloud hanging over China could be a great influential factor as to who eventually wins. It'll be an interesting watch from our point of view, but for now purely speculation.
Thanks again for your informative and valuable input, solarguy.
I pray that you're right, alexgr. We can only speculate as to how life will be at that point, but I hope there are truth is your words.
