Is that how we're defining workforce now?

Pretty soon they'll be paying taxes and asking for free repairs (healthcare)
The “industry experts” have been predicting the impending demise of China for years, to the point where I don’t consider them any more informative than a PRNG. My recommendation to folks: when it comes to “foreign adversaries”, don’t get high on your own propaganda. I see a lot of that on this site.
China isn't going to collapse from anything except demographics and they don't have a monopoly in this type of "collapse". I would expect the next decades to see massive advancements in robotics to the point where elder care and menial labor (e.g. produce harvesting) has been automated.
