China is on course to have more than 329 million people over the age of 65 by 2050, while the younger, working-age population is set to plummet. The inexorable aging of the population will, Mr. French predicts, restrain the country\u2019s ability to project power in the future. It will halve the size of the military-age population while saddling workers and the government with enormous expenses to care for the elderly. He suggests that the incredible pace with which China is currently trying to assert control over the South China Sea is driven by President Xi Jinping\u2019s awareness that the country has a window of at most 20 or 30 years before demographics catch up to it and such an expansion becomes impossible.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>China&#8217;s attempt to dominate East Asia (if not Asia) brings it into direct conflict with Japan. Expect increased militarization of Japan as China attempts to expand its sphere of influence. The Korean peninsula and Vietnam are simply sideshows.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/the-chip-on-chinas-shoulder-1490388803\">The Chip on China\u2019s Shoulder &#8211; WSJ<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230;..Fully 70% of Chinese television dramas have plots related to war with Japan, he tells us, and in 2012 alone 700 million imaginary Japanese were killed in Chinese movies.
