More likely because of the massive loss of life from all the flooding. They are claiming something ridiculous like 40 deaths? Entire cities are flooded.
Two factors at play. One is they have a demographic bomb. Like many western nations they have an inverse pyramid with far too many old people vs young.
Two is that they are planning to go to war on a global scale to replace the US as the global superpower and will need the manpower. They are likely to lose a lot lives initially as they lack the combined arms experience in warfare.
All American combat experience in almost two decades now is in things like dodging IEDs and bombing sand people with no meaningful anti-aircraft weapons.
And then we have a lot of the servicemen with experience opting to get out when their contracts are up because of the new regime and meanwhile the ones with the misfortune to stay in are getting trained in things like how to be antiracist instead of how to be a cohesive, effective fighting unit.
What you miss is that we have troops that have almost all been under fire in deployments and fired back. i.e. the US doesn't have green troops, all that China has is green troops. CCP's combat experience involves rounding up men and women from their homes and sending them to concentration camps. When the CCP decided to fight India in hand to hand combat, 45 CCP fuckwads were thrown off the mountainside to their deaths compared to 20 Indians. When you look at the CCP's equipment, their poor production comes into play for their jet engines and equipment. The only advantage the CCP has is hypersonic missiles they get from Russia and frankly I doubt they can produce the engines for the missiles domestically. China is weak, its why they are mass building nukes now, their conventional military lacks teeth.
Probably already too late for china to fix the massive demographic and economic collapse that will happen. More of the population is closer to retirement age than childbearing age.
The Chinese work situation is not conductive with having kids. 996 is the idea you work from 9am to 9pm 6 days a week. Both men and women work.
They're the textbook example of an economy that industrialized and urbanized too fast.
And no, "generation of entitled girls" is what countries like America have. In China young women are commonly toiling in factories, all day long, then go back to dormitories with living conditions similar to American prisons.
On a side note, some of the cultural side effects are super interesting. For example, when I taught at a camp in China for awhile, many kids were dealing with having siblings. They had no cultural way of dealing with it. For example, in the states there are TONS of books that are like ‘big brother and baby sister’ kind of stuff, that help to give context for what siblings should do. Shows and movies will usually have sibling relationships. China doesn’t have this for obvious (state sponsored media) reasons. So more kids will be extremely culturally jarring at this point.
Yet another retarded centtal planning policy running into the brick wall of reality

Things aren't looking good
edit: Oh, and most men that would otherwise be eligible for service aren't because we're all fat. Things'll be fun (read: they won't) if we go to war.
Skills and lessons learned from the GWOT are very applicable to what's coming in the US.

However that has included things like JTACs communicating with aircraft for air strikes, etc..
The Chinese got embarrassed last summer against India during their border spat.
Well they did build a lot of pointless empty cities, so maybe they stacked up so many lies they accidentally made a truth.

A billion of people.
(While missing tens of millions selectively aborted young women, yes.)

They are fucked just like the west. Oh well. That Sucks! Insert cuomo meme
"Reality drags China kicking and screaming into being slightly less totalitarian sociopaths."
The fuck you talk about you maniac.
How the fuck do you translate "you can have children now (unless Uyghur or Tibetan)" to "extra privileged"?
No, I don't remember, in fact.
But I do remember how China just went through a massive genocide of their specifically female population.
Guess I will call it gynocide.
