China has a huge population, which would be an asset, except that it's a huge AGING population, which is a serious liability. Thanks to the one-child policy, China has fast-tracked itself to developing nation status, but the cost is it has fast-tracked itself to the largest developed nation problem i.e. an aging population. In 5-10 years expect there to be serious questions about the sustainability of China's health care programs, and consequently the sustainability of it's economy and social order.
