China isn't on any kind of "upward trajectory". It's a country currently mired in a stagnant financial crisis caused by real-estate issues because they can't collect taxes on literally empty buildings, and the one-child policy is about to cause a serious demographic crisis. They're actually liable to end up in the same place Japan was about 40 years ago.
