Meanwhile, power got a lot more centralized in the last year, so I would say, state has become stronger than it was. Not really a good thing, but I don’t see China anywhere near the collapse

I don't think their demographic issues are going to reach the point where they could end the country in only 5 years.

Depends. They might have half as many workers by 2030. Not sure how this will work out for them.

Based on official data (which is drastically overstated), China will lose 200 million workers by 2050. The number will be substantially higher given China's real TFR is around 1.
