Encouraging Demographic Trend

China's working age population (15-59) shrunk last year. This wasn't expected to happen for another 15 years. Great news for American economic dominance and systhusians.

this only leads to higher prices and/or lower quality when factories move from China to a lesser-developed country.

more concerned about the effect slowing chinese growth will have on the world economy.

why?

less chinese consumption lowers prices, (especially since china isn't rich and ready to consume like every other country that has entered into population decline has been) and that's where a lot of recessions come from. the BRIC countries and other emerging economies have, in the last 10 years, been responsible for a majority of the growth in the world economy.
