China's growth is “sustainable” because they want it to be so, and they aren't encumbered by our elitist enviro-lunatics, who would be justifiably imprisoned were they to show their ignorant and naive asses there.

China’s growth is sustainable, because we’re asleep, and the people who should be looking out for our interests are selling us down the river.

From the article:

China's labor force is likely to start declining around 2014. The average age of China's labor force is rising to about 46 years in 2025 from 37 years in 2000.

China has too many people to import younger immigrants to supplement the workforce, but its one-child policy has made the whole population's average age 20 years older since it was implemented. The imbalance of marriageable women to men has made this slide very hard to reverse.

China's growth isn't sustainable.

It will plateau.
