China's fertility rate drops to record low 1.09 in 2022 - Lemmy.world

China’s demographics are irrecoverably screwed, there’s is quite literally no way back. Their population collapse begun some years ago and the only thing it can do from here is gather speed. Literally every woman in the country between the ages of 16 and 45 could have four children, a totally laughable hypothetical, and it still wouldn’t be enough to stop it.
China is not one to stand by and let things happen naturally if they need to speed things up
I’m not sure what your comment means exactly but I don’t see any way out of the demographic hole that they’re in. Fixing it would require continued forced impregnation of every eligible citizen for at least the next decade and opening up their immigration to levels well beyond anything they’ve ever allowed. I strongly doubt that Chinese citizens would tolerate the forced impregnation tactic and who the hell would immigrate knowing that it was a requirement?
