They can start by not censoring anything thats remotely sexual. Big part of having babies is making sex more normalized.
No, that's absolutely not the correct interpretation of my point. The correct media portrayal is more screentime for happy families with multiple kids. Sexualization of media doesn't increase birth rates, look at the west.
This would encourage people to seek more sexual partners, the opposite of settling with one and starting a family
You know people used to have more children when they have nothing to entertain them.
A massively booming economy overstimulates humans to the point they're just focused on wealth and fun. Especially when ppl don't have a religious incentive to have children and housing prices have been high historically.
Once the novelty of all the new things you can do wears off and combined with today's affordable housing, well, the evidence is quite clear, we're already seeing a rise in birth rate.
If you don't dabble in forced birth policies, economic conditions solely dictate childbirth. And for China I don't ever see a need for the former. No country needs that. The ones doing it are all backwards ones for a reason. It's not about some imaginary demographic crisis, it's about control and oppression.
I noticed in the early 1990s and 2000s, some Chinese music videos (example: 花心 by 周华健，最炫民族风 by 凤凰传奇) had kids in them and even in 2004 there was 家有儿女 with a family of 3 kids.
All of that was gone by 2010s.

All culture. 100% culture. Chinese people are notoriously good at chasing what we think represents wealth/success. Because decades ago, everybody could pump out kids, but being highly educated (PhD or degree from high ranking institution) and rich (high income, large house, expensive car) was so rare, these things came to represent success and having many kids came to represent a mundane thing that uneducated country people do. That's why we have the current issue.
Chinese people need to see that being childless is walking around like a zombie that doesn't know that he's already dead. All the money, wealth and power are just jewels and a crown hung on a pitiful zombie's corpse. The only real prosperity, the only thing you can own that is not artificial but primal and biological, above all laws of man, is children, the honor of passing on your genes. Once Chinese people see this, no difficulties, no laws, no circumstances can stop them from having many many kids.
And after the new trend/generation of "cool" childless people age to the point where they feel mortal and lament that they have run out of time to create a biological legacy, their final sorrowful wailings will serve as the reminder to the young people that this is the end that awaits the childless. In the meantime, Chinese automation will pick up the slack and it is fantastic at doing so.

Once Trump goes through with Handsmaid Tale style forced birth policies China can start importing Americans.

LOL My neighbor is a 50 year old white American lady with no kids. She comes to our house with gifts 3-5 times a week to play with ours because she absolutely loves them to no end. When I told her my parents are visiting, she offered her spare bedroom for them to live in for free for "as long as they want." When they were living there, she would come by 2x a day to play with our kids. When we told her we would eventually in a few years move back to China, she ASKED TO MOVE WITH US and said she hoped Chinese immigration weren't assholes like Trump!!! Actually started Duolingo Mandarin!
