Your ‘source’ is a propaganda channel.
You are just a 15 or so year old repeating what you read in some propaganda channels with absolutely no own knowledge about the things you are talking about. You could do yourself a favor and stay away there to get a life.
What is a reliable source on this subject?
What does this propaganda rubbish here? Years ago one of my colleagues said that the only thing that is worse than late-stage capitalism we have in Europe and the US is the early-stage capitalism we have in countries like China. The West has a lot of problems, but those who say that China’s system is a better alternative have never been there and never made business there. They are completely disconnected from reality.
Members of several of the organizations involved in our coalition have long been the focus of Chinese state-sponsored menace and harassment. In fact, we documented those serious concerns, along with a number of recommended actions, in comprehensive reports provided to your government in 2017 and 2020 […]
It is important that the Government of Canada cease to tolerate such activities of Chinese diplomats in Canada, which are clearly inconsistent with their legitimate function as defined by the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. Similarly, the Chinese state’s use of proxies to spread toxic disinformation and intimidate diaspora members in Canada must be much more actively addressed through legal prosecution and other measures.
We are pleased that Canada will be raising concerns that transnational repression undermines sovereignty and democratic values at the upcoming G-7.

As an addition: Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and the UK also announced new sanctions against Russia at the start of this week.

It’s noteworthy in that context that the Chinese government has been continually rejecting social welfare programs -of which many democracies in the West have- while warning against “welfarism” and the dangers of “feeding lazy people". So private Chinese companies follow their government’s policy.
Yes, in general this is the trend. In China, however, we’ve seen this within an extremely short period of time. As I said earlier, you can’t compare different countries with that, especially if we make inferences to population growth and declines.
Here you go: “Marriages and Divorces” (and the drivers behind them) by https://ourworldindata.org/marriages-and-divorces
TLDR: Marriages become less common across all countries, and people are marrying later in life. And there is a ‘decoupling’ of parenthood and marriage.
Addition: Fertility rate appears to be lowest in China worldwide, EU and the U.S. are a bit higher. You can see these and other countries here (you can search for other countries using the search field at the top of the diagram in the link).
I’m not sure that an international comparison would be too useful when it comes to estimate future population growth or decline, because we see a trend in many countries that people don’t marry, although they raise children. That’s not necessarily the case in China, but supposedly in many European countries. For a population forecast I would guess the birth rate (fertility rate) is a more apt metric.

There is another source related to the topic:
With US funding freeze, China nonprofits are facing extinction. They need emergency assistance. – (Archived version)
An entire ecosystem of vital China-related work is now in crisis. When the Trump administration froze foreign funding and USAID programs last week, dozens of scrappy nonprofits in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the US were immediately affected. Staff are losing their jobs; some organizations face imminent closure due to lack of funding; others are paring back their programming.
In many cases, these organisations provide our last window into what is actually happening in China. They do the painstaking and often personally risky work of tracking Chinese media censorship, tallying local protests, uncovering human rights violations, documenting the Uyghur genocide, and supporting what remains of civil society in China. They provide platforms for Chinese people to speak freely; they help keep the dream of democracy in China alive. I’m not listing the names of any specific organisations at this time, because some prefer not to disclose that they receive foreign funding. Beijing believes funding that supports free speech and human rights is interference by ‘hostile foreign forces’.
As China’s President Xi Jinping has squeezed Chinese civil society and expelled journalists, information from inside China has got harder and harder to access. The 2017 Chinese foreign NGO law crushed US and other foreign nonprofits based in China. Some moved to Hong Kong or elsewhere. The spending freeze may deal them a death blow.

So what is a reliable source for China?
5·2 months agoYes, what makes this even worse is that modern slavery is also a big issue in the self-defined ‘socialist’ countries like China.
There should be a solution to this once they both agree on mutual independence.
with claim to all China’s territory.
What does that mean? Taiwan doesn’t claim ‘all of China’s territory’ …
Yes, the Vatican is also silent on China’s supression of religious groups, including catholics.
‘There is no longer a safe place to be a Christian in China’ - report
The Chinese government is increasingly cracking down on state-sanctioned churches as well as underground churches, leaving no “safe place” for Christians, according to International Christian Concern.
A new report by ICC tracks persecution of Christians in China since July 2021 and records 32 cases of arrests and detainments, five raids on Christian schools, and 20 cases of the Sinicization of churches - where churches are forced to align their faith with the social and political messaging of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
The ICC said that exact numbers were likely to be far higher because of the challenges of receiving information from China.
No. Here, for example, you can post whatever you want. In these .ml communities, however, everything that is only slightly critical of China or Russia is banned. It’s cheap propaganda.
