Why China's Aging Faster Than It's Getting Rich

Japan got rich before getting old. South Korea's doing the same. China didn't have time. When Japan's population peaked in 2008, GDP per capita was $38,000. South Korea will hit population peak in the 2030s at around $45,000 per capita. China peaked in 2021 at just $12,500—one-third of Japan's level. This isn't about size. It's about sequence. Rich countries aged AFTER building welfare states, financial markets, and high-productivity economies. China is aging WHILE still building these institutions—a race between demographic decline and economic development.
