China modern culture is incredibly materialistic and status oriented. Women in China have extremely high requirements for a candidate mate in the money department, and paradoxically is a highly sexist society, which led to people aborting their female babies during the one-child policy era to ensure their only son would be a man. Because of that, China has a surplus of males in reproductive age, for a proportional lower stock of fertile age females compared to the population.
On the other hand, having kids outside marriage is frowned upon.
Frankly, there's no way out of an aged population followed by a drastic population reduction for China.
If anything, I would say the communist party is focusing on humanoid robots to meet the coming explosion in demand for aged care.

I wouldn't call China a highly sexist society (at least outside of the countryside), far from it, just that women have high standards for mates and would rather be alone than marry wrong. And their families/society is letting them do that so isn't that a good thing? Even if they get married, they are going for either a DINK lifestyle or at most one kid, because that's what they have time for.
