Your point is that the mean age in China is almost the same as the mean age in the US?
China has more folks in the ages from 30-50, and America has more 50+ and more 30-. Those are the inflection points at present.
China has a roughly 9 percent gap in total workers over America's dependency ratios.
That represents a tremendous deceleration in growth for China. Remember that in recent decades the majority of growth in population for the United States has come from immigration. Try finding those figures for the mid-1990's, mid-1980's and mid-1970's.
The point is that China has more than 4 times the population of the US yet less territory to put them on.
They would actually like to whittle down some of that population.Last edited by Ben Kenobi; August 26, 2014, 12:47.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

Average American serviceman is 28. So the pool that America is drawing from is slightly larger than China's for the first time ever.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

The news will be robotic too, so move along people, nothing to see here!
That's pretty cynical.
The last time there was mass unemployment in the US on a scale that threatened the establishment there was this guy who came along and managed to pass and implement some sort of new deal. Even there things will get done when the masses start to break the crockery.(\__/)

I was trying a new walking/jogging/running route today and ****ing thunderstorms ruined it
I had to sprint home
and much to everyone's disappointment , i did nnot get hit by lightning
the sun is out now
sun
I might go try and walk the route again... I was trying to see if I could find a 5+ mile route in my neighborhood, going through every street and cul de sac without crossing my path
it's an OCD wet dreamTo us, it is the BEAST.

you should probably also divide by 4-5 for each family...
I grew up on 8000 sqf (call it just under 0.2 acres) in the suburbs (small 4 bedroom house) with 6 people living in it. That is 0.03 acres per person. Family income was higher than the median (call it 70-100k).
At that rate you would need ~330000 sqm
So not that far off.12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

He said average, which is a 130 by 100 foot plot, which is 13,000 sqf, about 1/3 acre. I don't know if that's just people living in their own homes or includes apartment dwellers.
Let's see, divide 7.1 billion by 6, that's 1.18 billion residences, multiply by 0.2 is 236 million acres, divide by 640 acre / sqm. That's closer to 400,000 sqm."I say shoot'em all and let God sort it out in the end!
