You kept on talking about the median, yet the Chinese median age is now 40. What was China like in 1984？ And the population bulge happened in the 60s and 70s. In the 80s the one child policy was already in full swing. A typical 50 year old isn't going to learn to drive if they haven't learnt by now. Using the median to try to understand what is going on in such a fast changing economy borders on futility. Maybe in 30 years median would really mean something for China.
