A couple of things to take into consideration:
*The current reproduction ratio / couple is on average between 1.7 and 1.8 in Europe. That means that for every couple (2 people), 1.7 people are born. So that means the population is actually declining in Europe. That's something very common in technologically more advanced societies. (more wealth = more choices. better medical technology = no need to get 12 children as a kind of insurance because 8 of them might die before they're 12 years old)!

So China is going to let people move to Australia and Australia is going to let them in? By the way while large 90% of Australia is desert. We've still got room in the US and Canada I doubt you'd be for having a couple hundred million Chinese in here.
