China from my point of view is in a decent position in the years to come. With a high infrastructure build up and a declining population once the world resources start to shrink up most of the infastructure required to maintain the population will already be in place namely high speed rail, buildings etc.
Assuming 40 years from now once vital resources such as steel and oil become scarce China can just consolidate the cities and reuse the steel that have gone into the original buidling. The cost of doing so will be marginal compared to mining it from the ground and shipping refining etc, who knows in 40 years time the countries that ship steel to China (i.e Australia, India etc) might have barred the resource from being exported due to their own development needs.
