China has reached the end of its economic boom. What comes next should worry every American business — and the rest of the world.

The catch is China might welcome immigrants to make up the difference in population.

I mean this is China. I don't think there are enough immigrants (especially immigrants who'd be better off going to China than their home country) to fill the gap.

Climate change is going to force a lot of migrants from the middle towards the poles. You might ge surprised how many will flood north/south.

Oh yeah fair enough.

China's going to need an astronomical amount of migration to sustain their aging population, and there's little to no reason why people would choose to migrate there over basically anywhere in the West.

China would need to do some dramatic reinvention to become an appealing destination for migrants. Step 1 might be not arbitrarily taking migrants as hostages for political purposes.
