    The catch is China might welcome immigrants to make up the difference in population.

      I mean this is China. I don’t think there are enough immigrants (especially immigrants who’d be better off going to China than their home country) to fill the gap.

      China’s going to need an astronomical amount of migration to sustain their aging population, and there’s little to no reason why people would choose to migrate there over basically anywhere in the West.

      China would need to do some dramatic reinvention to become an appealing destination for migrants. Step 1 might be not arbitrarily taking migrants as hostages for political purposes.
