I expect China will pick up the slack.

Certainly but US policy changes every 4 years and China has a gigantic one child policy issue which just can't be changed. I think it will with China somewhat similar how it was back in the day with the udssr where economists were predicting its economy would outgrow the economy of the USA by 1994 and then 1991 or so it died. Could imagine something similar might be awaiting china

...the one that was changed a decade ago?

Unless you can retroactively birth children or import a shit ton of people (not practical in China, for all sorts of political and cultural reasons), the effects of a gigantic missing part of that age demographic can't be replaced. He's right, there's no way to fix that, other than wait long enough that those birth years would already be dead anyway.

He was commenting on the use of the present tense word "has".

Yes present tense. The policy has been reversed, but the issue can't be except in the very long run, except possibly through immigration.

He didn't say the policy can't be changed. It was. The issue, not so easily.

China has a population growth problem. They had a one child policy problem.
