"
Sales of industrial robots into China increased by about 25% on average per year."
..and the question that hasn't yet been answered is.. how will this exactly play out when larger numbers of China's available workforce either can't find jobs, or else face hunger through falling wages due to ever increasing job scarcity?
"It is forecast that China will have 40 million less workers in the 20-30 age bracket in the next decade compared to ten years ago, because of the aging population. Robots are expected to fill the gap."
..oh sure, as if the robots will be in any way limited to tasks unfilled by human workers.
