China has a major - huge, actually - discontinuity in their population pyramid also, thanks to the one-child policy implemented in 1979.

This'll likely provide a major economic surprise. By about 2013 when the US economy is thoroughly tanking and everyone is convinced that the Chinese are about to take over the world, just as the Japanese were going to do in 1988, the Chinese economy will go over a huge demographic cliff. We will have virtually simultaneous 15 year recessions in two of the most important economies on the planet. That's something to look forward to!

Demographics is destiny.
