I think the demographics aren't in a "weird situation" ... they have significant population decline. Baby boomers is a generation across the planet with varying years in each region or country and generations behind them are smaller everywhere. China also had a 1 child policy for a long time so this has resulted in fewer people. Fewer people (smaller generation) having fewer people results in fewer people, which ... you get it. You can't create more 30-40 year olds right now. Massive real estate growth doesn't correlate with the population. Either people or companies are going to get stuck with the costs, I doubt the government is going to prop up the company.
