Aging economics: China's population imbalance

From Am-Cham China:
Will population aging plunge China into crisis? Some argue that "crisis" is an apt
term: as Wang Feng, a professor of sociology at University of California, Irvine,
has written: "The aging of China's population represents a crisis because its arrival
is imminent and inevitable, because its ramifications are huge and long-lasting, and
because its effects will be hard to reverse." Others are more optimistic, even though
China's economic growth will almost inevitably slow as a result of reaching middle-income
status.
