Chinese government does not seem to agree with you, considering its:
Pro natal policies
Heavy research into automation being sold as “to fill in labour gaps” (even though the gig work is skyrocketing)
Retirement age reforms increasing the retirement age
Chinese universities also do not agree with your flippant attitude and are literally alarmist about it:
Tsinghua projections (that accurately predicted peak of population) show halving the population (and that > 50% will be people over retirement age) by the year 2100:

On the other hand the dude who was saying something about collapsing in 3 years also didn’t knew what he was talking about.

Imo, if they succeed in automating everything they probably will not have to care about drop in population either
