China's aging demographic means people will retire en masse, putting a strain on the safety net. Old people will be warehoused, lest they suffer a worse fate. The relatively smaller number of working people will need to pay for these services. This will be further complicated by the low birth rate and an unhealthy ratio of men to women. About 15% of men will not be able to find a mate. That has never happened in the history of man kind to a large population. Usually it's the men who die in droves due to warfare. Leaving many more women alive. Women are harder to replace in a population.
China better start having more girls and encourage more births. A birth rate of 1.5 and a boy/girl ratio of 1.15 is bad.
