Not really. It will spend less to look after them. China will not develop a social security system like the EU to hold them back.
Sure it will.

Anyway, China's GDP/capita(PPP) is currently at over 10,000 US dollars and is forecast to near 20,000 by 2020 so the country could easily reach 30K in 15-20 years time. Remember China still has 1-2 decades of "catch-up" growth left in it.
Time of easy growth is over. There will never again be gdp growth speeds like before, so your projections off them are useless. Just like PPP is useless in a debate about international economics.
