I think the issue is that the 1 child policy resulted in there being more men than women, because traditionally families preferred males. So now there’s a pretty big imbalance of men to women in China.
Immigration wouldn’t really fix that, unless they specifically only allowed women to immigrate. And the Chinese government is too racist for that solution - I think they’d rather see a population collapse and civil unrest than that.
In this case they have to import labor from other parts of China, if not allow limited numbers of migrant workers.
