Supposedly China needs coal mining to provide employment in future decades.

Supposedly, China needs to encourage more births to avoid a shortage of workers in future decades. These predictions directly contradict each other, so at least one is false. But I think that both are false.

If China remains prosperous, and doesn't need everyone to work, it will have the resources to support everyone with jobs in taking better care of the old, the young, and the sick, and entertaining each other.

On the contrary, if China has an insufficiency of workers, it will be able to accelerate the use of robots, delay retirement, and make do with less conveniences.

What China cannot do is remain prosperous while beset increasingly by extreme weather, crop failures, and rising seas. The rice-growing areas of South China are close to sea level and will be inundated, including major cities such as Shanghai, Hong Kong, Nanjing and Hangzhou. To the east of Shanxi is the North China Plain which will encounter fatal weather. China had better focus on avoiding the catastrophe it is creating with fossil fuels.
