Governments? Yes. China specifically? Probably not. Korea maybe, because they’ve been having some extremely normal politics as of late.
Chinese dudes I’ve talked to have lamented the contradictory pressure and social requirements of getting married, I can’t predict what kind of policy would help address this. Promoting gay marriage and adoption? Telling parents it’s fine if everyone doesn’t get married? Housing subsidies for grandparents to move nearby and provide childcare so a smaller dowry is acceptable? Letting immigrants on spouse visas work?
The women I’ve talked to have mostly lamented the same bullshit women everywhere deal with, dudes cheating or being unwilling to put in the same effort. IDK if these concerns will result in policy changes.

You don’t foresee governments being capable of engaging in coercive, if not outright totalitarian measures?
As a simple hypothetical example: consider the effect of banning (or otherwise significantly restricting) contraceptives.
