China's demographic catastrophe: Could half the population disappear?

China's demographic problems are growing. The demographic crisis in China could slow China's economic growth and Beijing's global ambitions. Why was the People's Republic of China so slow to react to the Chinese population fall? Could the once world's largest country halve in terms of population? Was China's one-child policy responsible? Why didn't population bounce back when the policy was removed? What mistakes did the communist government make? Were official Chinese statistics falsified? Did the one-child policy give too much power to local Chinese officials and lead to corruption in China? As China heads to the 100-year anniversary of Communist rule, is this China's last chance to become a global superpower? Is China's window of opportunity closing?
