No. They irreparably fricked themselves with the One Child Policy. The CCP can do lots of things, but they cannot just invent hundreds of millions of babies, and even if they could it would be too late. They need people added at every level of the population pyramid below retirement age. It is projected that China at the end of the century could have its population cut in half from what it is today.


I understand every bit of that.


But I am asking if they have the will (the diabolical evil) to cull their population in a way to head off that epiphany or to soften the blow? Haven’t they already tried it?

And by the word “means”, I equate that by them having many methods at their disposal and they don’t care about life.

I should have just sacked up and said this:
The ccp is doing everything they can to avoid the oncoming population realities. And they have the resolve to do it.

China's economy is based off of low margin output on the backs of its insane population.

China has failed to really develop itself, even with the fact that it's stolen the world's IP to look modern.

Culling the population would only worsen the problem, not solve it. Their economy HAS to grow, massively and constantly, in order to contain their enormous debt issues. It cannot continue to do so when a third of their population is reaching retirement age, and the younger generations are either overwhelmingly male (see One Child and related policies), or reproducing at less than replacement rate. Their efforts to "head off" the "problem" of overpopulation is what caused this actual problem.

That's why I said that the CCP can do lots of things, but they cannot create hundreds millions of people. They are not culutrally or politically capable of bringing in tons of immigrants to make up this gap like most of the Western nations can.

Japan is in a similar predicament, though to a much smaller extent.
