Makes sense, havia a Child in todas scenario is big no.
It may not be a doomsday scenario just yet but labour shortages and shrinking domestic demand at the end of a record boom smells like economic recession, which magnifies disincentives to reproduce. >

And to overthrow the current power structure >

Shortsightedness of CCP has now come full circle around starting with draconian attempt to control rising population with one family one child only policy.  Not importing superior western Covid vaccine and used only domestic home grown inferior vaccine.  Implementation of capricious zero Covid lockdown multiple times until people got tired and rebelled.  
What couples would want to have baby in this uncertain times? >

What's sad is they actually did try and negotiate a purchase of Moderna shots for their people.
Moderna ended up walking away because Beijing insisted that any sale of the vaccine within China would have required Moderna to hand over the intellectual property rights as a prerequisite.
Basically, they wanted the formula and they wanted the process of how it is produced before Moderna could sell it to them.
Made absolutely no sense and Moderna walked. >

Well, China shot itself on the foot there and as usual ordinary people end up paying the price.
China should start realizing that western companies are no longer willing to sell their intellectual property rights just so that they could do business there. >

China doesn't respect any company outside of their home grown equivalents. They like to play dirty and they like to take ideas for themselves.
They proved as much when they tried to steal Covid secrets during the development period. 
This is exactly what China does. Because they are at the epicenter of manufacturing for western countries, it makes more sense for them to steal and idea and develop their own version based on it than to come up with an original idea. 
You can pick almost any industry and you can cite a western equivalent they likely stole the idea from. >
