After WW2 there was a worldwide baby boom. All those Boomers are retiring and no longer contributing economically, or advancing our quality of life.
I don't need to hear about how wonderful your grandpa is, or how you're 70 and still working harder than any millennial, or anything like that.
If China (or the world) wanted to protect their economy and quality of life, then technically it would make sense to kill off the part of the population that's not working or paying taxes, and becoming a drain on the food supply, healthcare, pensions, and other social services.
And the best and simplest way to do that would be with a very strong flu because it'll kill the elderly while working aged people will easily survive.
I don't understand why more people aren't talking about this.

Then explain it to me.
A large portion of China's population is becoming elderly, no longer able to work, not contributing to the country economically, and is becoming a huge drain on their healthcare system, and country. Also, the Chinese are a race of people who are incapable of feeling empathy.
So how does Communist China operate? What will they do now that they're faced with these problems?
