Wang Feng, UCI professor of sociology writes, “That picture of China—of rapid population growth and worsening material scarcity—has been turned upside down completely during the past half-century.

Its population age structure has moved away from a bottom-heavy one with numerous young people and fewer seniors, to a top-heavy one with an increasingly larger share of the population over the age of 65.”
