    One child policy definitely did not help, but this is a problem on many other places too including virtually every single first world country.

    What’s even worse is that if your country needs more 30 year olds it does not help to start making more children now. It needed to be done 30 years ago. It’s either immigration or automation.

      Yes, but the SEVERITY of the problem differs. I’ll bet you dollars to doughnuts that it’s worse in China than the average of countries that DIDN’T have laws predictably causing this exact problem.

      It needed to be done 30 years ago. It’s either immigration or automation.

      30 years ago when One Child was still in effect, you say? Imagine that!

      And I vote immigration.
