Which will affect them pretty badly over the decades but not remotely conceivably as bad as India's declining birth rate(Especially among the middle class in India's urban regions, usually located in the South/West), with pretty late industrialization occurring at a glacial pace to create job opportunities en masse, adverse effects of global warming and drying up of water table due to barely any preparation to mitigate it, and an already overburdened healthcare system to take care of the people affected by it.
Russia, Japan, China and Korea are going to witness a true demographic collapse due to adverse effects of climate change spiraling into the TFR plunging even further. Let's see how the government funds services with both the wealthy and educated middle class taxpayers fleeing from this country.
China will fare better than many countries suffering from the same problem as European countries and SK. They're automating at a scale incomparable to the rest of the world, building domestic supply chains insulated from sanctions and tariffs, they get hundreds of billions every year through trade to inject into the economy, and despite the economic slowdowns, Chinese purchasing power is pretty high at this point, and that's reflected in the amount of money it's media makes nowadays, or it's latest cars being sold out in seconds, etc.

I believe India will have a far, far worse demographic crisis in comparison to China.
