That’s not what is happening at all - China is not a western country were such might be true.
The Chinese people hate the CCP, but are trapped by their culture and the CCP into not having more kids because they are so busy trying to make ends meet that more than one kid is too expensive and too much work. They are effectively on strike.
Along with the lack of sexual relations, one must add the cultural worship or reverence for ancestors still prevalent in China.
If you do not have children, who will worship or revere you after you die? A kind of hell for those men.
