This has been a thing in Japan even before the population crisis. This has been a thing in other Asian countries besides Japan! What's next? "Japan's economy is so bad, they're using paper for their doors!" Japan's population and economic problems are apparent. Why does CNN feel it needs to mislead in order to punctuate it?

My Japanese parents-in-law were matched by family and parents. Their wedding was the second the they met. They're in their 80s now and still together.

So no, not new.

It has been a thing in western countries too, just less popular in recent centuries.

Why does CNN feel it needs to mislead in order to punctuate it?

Every western news source out there.

We're closer to achieving cold fusion than we are to achieving a newspaper that can write about Japan without descending into "wACkY jAPaN!!" territory.
