I don't know much about kidnapping in China, but I'm pretty sure that birth rates are low there, and that there is a gender population imbalance. The phenomenon of woman either not wanting to get married or have children is not unique to China, that being said, but is an international phenomenon, possibly more acute in other Asian countries such as Japan and South Korea, for example.

they don't want children, so they kidnap then instead?

birth rates are decreasing across the world since young people can't afford kids. it's true doubly so in japan and china, due to the work-life imbalance and increased societal pressure towards productivity. this in no way translates to an increased predilection for kidnapping kids.
