Eh, the Chinese are getting older faster than they’re getting richer. That whole population control thing has worked a little too well, and more and more folk in their 30’s aren’t marrying or having kids. This spells the end for them, longterm; the Party is concerned about it.

Perhaps, but the US at the end of the 19th Century wasn’t a world power yet either, and look what happened inside one and a half generations.

True the population control policy has worked against them, especially with so many more boys than girls, but those spare boys can populate divisions and it probably wouldn’t take long for the demographics to improve if they got rid of the one-child policy.
