Clarification:

Take, for example, 2027, when humans in offices will be successfully replaced by AI, and robots will begin to replace construction workers and other workers. How terrible do you think it will be after 2030? And how much the level of depression and everything else will increase. I will also add that not everyone will be able to receive unemployment benefits, and some will die of hunger. Let’s be realistic and not console ourselves with rosy fantasies.

    China has a horrifyingly destructive demographics crisis on their hands.

    “Horrifyingly destructive” sounds a bit hyperbolic. Birthrates in South Korea, Japan, and some European countries are lower.

    Immigration is one of the main ways to deal with it, something that China is much worse off with as their poor wages and sheer size means they uniquely cannot attract enough people, unlike South Korea and Japan.

    Wages are not low in China when compared to the cost of living. However high wages may be in South Korea and Japan, people still can’t make ends meet because prices are high. And I don’t see how a country’s size would factor in at all. But in any case, I don’t think China is even trying to attract immigrants, making this moot.
