the decline has been accelerating and will likely continue to do so. Their birth rate is below replacement levels.
Key Demographic Trends:
* China’s population is aging rapidly, with the number of people over 60 expected to increase significantly by 2040 and 2050.
* The fertility rate is projected to remain below 1.2 children per woman, leading to a declining population.

Their agricultural methods are still very labor intensive. They could continue modernizing and upgrading those methods, producing more food output per acre, even as their population continues to decline.
