"Did you factor in the rapid decline of the Chinese population that is baked in?"
--------------------
By many estimates , China's population will decrease by approximately 400 million to less than 1 billion in the next 50 to 60 years.

This from , UN World Population Prospects (2022)

"China’s birth rate has fallen the fastest in recent years among the countries highlighted here. The country registered 7.6 annual births per 1,000 people in 2021, compared to 24.4 in 1990 and 41.0 in 1950."

and a nice graphic to show various country comparisons,

"This trend suggests that China could face challenges similar to those faced by Japan, which has a vast senior population and significant economic and social implications."
