Could it be that China’s abortion policy can be the cause of its eventual demise as a world power?

China would be a world power even if it had a few hundred million less people, don't you think?

China is committing suicide as a civilization. Abortion with their one child policy will mean China’s dominance in the world won’t last more than a generation

Using data from the CIA factbook, the US has a birth rate of 13.83 per 1000 while China's is 12.29 per 1000.

US immigration rate is 4.18 per 1000 while China's is minus 0.33 per 1000

So if you calculate these rates with the death rates you end up with a population growth rate with the US being 0.963% per year while China is at 0.493% per year.

Canada achieves about the same population growth rate as the US but she has smaller birth rate and a higher immigration rate.
