It’s actually already too late for that *now*. Next year, they’re going to have another 5-6 million women age out of the birthing pool *with no replacement*. And it is only going to accelerate.
One Child ran from 79 to 2015. Due to Chinese cultural issues, during that time the Chinese mostly aborted their girls. The last of the women who were born before 79 are aging out and they don’t have replacements. Even after the end of One Child, the Chinese still often abort female babies though not at the rate they used to, so there aren’t distant replacements. Look for Chinese fertility rates to drop to .5 or less *very* soon.
China needed to have realized One Child was a massive failure in the mid 2000s and ended it if they wanted to avoid a demographic collapse - then they needed to implement protections for female foeti over male for a while. It is far, far too late now for them to solve it on internal resources.
Demographic bombs are ugly, ugly things.
I predicted that 2 things would happen in China to decrease the female population:
1) Infanticide. Ironically, this is coming from traditional, rural societies. Chinese men will not find traditional wives thanks to the society that self-destructs.
2) Westernization. Middle- or upper-class Chinese women, who are generally Western-educated, will become alienated from traditional society and leave. Who can blame them? Who wants to embrace a culture that devalues them? These women will look for Western (white) men instead of Chinese/Asian men.
China basically planted the seeds of her own destruction. (I shed no tears.)
