China has 1.4 billion people, that's the detail everyone always forgets.I hope you're right, but it's typically Asian cultural strengths that are the very reasons why their demographic decline is so pronounced. The reasons highlighted for Korea's demographic decline are the desire for wealth and status, the hyper-competitive nature, and the overemphasis on a work ethic and discipline. China has many of those qualities which allowed it to propel to the top, but its also double-edged.
Just like it is already too late because of years of low birth rate for Korea, even if they can change the fertility rate to 2.1 overnight, China too has had years of the One Child Policy that are not reversible. You cannot materialize millions of 20 and 30-year-olds; the demographic deficit will manifest even if the fertility rate jumps to replacement level today. Having children is not something you can simply will into existence on a large scale; otherwise, other nations would have done it already.
Maybe we can have an artificial womb, but that has its problems, like what kind of society will China be if it starts manufacturing babies on an industrial level with the State as the only real parent? After all, even in that solution, it is the state that wants kids, not necessarily the biological donors.
And no most people don't work long hours because they like to work long hours, they do so because the lifestyle they want need money and that money can only be made by working long hours. China is the only one able to solve this because China is the only country where policy focus on abundance and spreading that abundance to everyone, the only one who can actually achieve the needed level of abundance, and the only one where the culture is rational enough to overcome resistance from the rich.
