In the grand scheme of things maybe not but if you focus on the aspect of human capital its a lot of human capital sitting in the west instead of working for the betterment of China.

Do we have any idea what % of talent in the West is in multicultural marriage? I would guestimate it would be a very small percentage only.
This is where advertising and messaging comes in, but it needs to happen on both sides to work. Acclimatization to non-Asian cultures and populations should be started at an early age, e.g. school exchange type scenarios, however economic conditions need to be there before it can work.
I strongly support no enrollment test to get into kindergarten, need teaching credential, and lower the preschool expenses. Not sure about banning teaching of primary school materials.
HONG KONG, Aug 28 (Reuters) - Chinese lawmakers on Monday submitted a draft law aimed at making preschools more accessible and affordable, state media reported, part of a drive to encourage people to have more children following the in six decades.
The draft Preschool Education Law includes measures to curb excessive profit-seeking by preschool providers, the state-backed China news service reported.
Children applying for preschool places should not be subject "to any form of examination or testing except for necessary physical examinations," the official Xinhua news agency reported.
Playing must be prioritised, it said, while teaching of any primary school materials during kindergarten is banned.
Minister of Education Huai Jinpeng said the development of the sector remains "unbalanced and insufficient" with many people finding it difficult to enter preschools due to high expense and concerns about quality, Xinhua reported.
The draft law comes as China's fertility rate is estimated to have dropped to a record low of 1.09 in 2022, one of the world's lowest alongside South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore.
High childcare costs and the need to pause careers have put many Chinese women off having more children or any at all. Gender discrimination and traditional stereotypes of women caring for children are still widespread.
Concerned about its population, Beijing is urgently trying an array of measures to lift the birth rate, including financial incentives and improved childcare facilities.
The draft preschool law will now be reviewed by the National People's Congress Standing Committee.

Thoughts about Hungary's policy?
Produce 4 future taxpayers and we'll exempt you.
Hungary's birth rate went from 1.25 to 1.55 in a few years.
A watered down version could be more reasonable?

Maybe China should implement a 3 child policies once they lowered the cost of raising a family.

I think this is an excellent policy. Not only does it encourage a population boost, it encourages it in finanicially competent people, who are the most likely to raise their children right. Giving away money for kids encourages poor people to have kids and leave them to the mechanisms of society to see what they become, but giving major tax breaks means that only people who pay significant taxes can take advantage. There does, however, need to be an upper cap, as the uber rich often already want to have many kids and they pay taxes in the billions so it would be a terrible loss to waive that either for something that was already bound to happen or for a very small increase in children had.
