Does anyone have some good resources to debunk the "China is going to depopulate because of a demographic crisis" talking point? (lemmygrad.ml)

I'd ask:

You really think a country of well over a billion people is going to do anything worth calling "depopulate" any time soon?
Do you have any examples of this happening anywhere (especially in peacetime)?

This has been a conversation for a few decades about Japan. They may have some issues with fewer young people having kids (and hard restrictions on immigration), but "depopulate" isn't on the table, and I'm not even sure it's at a crisis stage.
