For just one example of how ridiculous this sounds, the Chinese-based Deepseek recently made mockery of the billions invested in AI in the west, so much so it fucked with the western stock market AI investment bubble, just by fact of Deepseek existing and being much more efficient training, and meanwhile the US has a meme-based billionaire purging government agencies under the administration of a WWE-style mob boss president.

I’m not really looking at the situation from these minor perspectives like ai, the reality of Chinese demographics is enough to show that there’s a certain decline looming around China and this presents a current best opportunity for China to achieve its outward facing goals as a decline in growth will limit its future capabilities to achieve those goals
You say this as if the whole world’s population isn’t projected to peak at 11 billion then stagnate (even africa, the current fastest grower). Like, I don’t get this obsession with focusing on Chinese birthrates.
If US AI just lost $1 trillion in market cap after the release of a model in China that cost $5 million to make, and uses 30% less resources to run, what does he that say about the US AI market?
As others have pointed out, birthrates in all industrialized nations go down when women are given the opportunity to participate in the labor market equally. Even in countries with exceptional socialized family support, those supports do not increase birth rates.

In the process of industrialization, the development of personal awareness, the pursuit of a high-quality life and women’s increased participation in the economy have always led to a decline in fertility rates. China isn’t immune to this. China’s demographic situation is a natural outcome driven by the nation’s economic and social development. This phenomenon is quite common. There is no need to exaggerate its influence.

China is a leader in automaton and uses it’s 5 year plans to ensure they keep automaton up while demographics go down.
Declining birth rates are not sign of decline, if that were true then America is in decline, along with most other industrial nations.
