1. Excessively high costs of living as well as other things you mention are
the key parts of the European economy. So whatever causes them vanishing is
a destruction of that economy, for good or bad.

2. Considering the parameters you mention, excessively high cost of living
presumes that someone else pays for Europeans. That is not the case. [*]
Laziness presumes in this context that the average productivity of an
European worker is lower than one of a Chinese worker. This is also wrong,
very wrong. 

You compare admittedly lazy, decadent, hypocritical, cynical, and
treacherous Europe with some ideal society, which firstly does not exist,
and secondly, from which China is eons more distant than that "nasty"
Europe.

* BTW, Germany even subsidizes China, which by some miraculous calculation
is counted as developing country.
