And what will happen when Chinese children grow up? Most families over there have just one child due to government policy. That means that in 20 years, your average married couple could have as many as eight elderly relatives to take care of. Think it's gonna be tough on us when the so-called baby boomers retire? Imagine what it will be like in China!

The one-child policy has resulted in unequal gender distribution. As the babies reach reproductive age there will be many males unable to find a mate. In human history, just as in the biology of all organisms, this results in increased male aggression. This will increase instability in China concomitant with the increase wealth disparity (rich folks get the mates, too) and pressure on the dictatorship for more power to the expanding middleclass.
