That’s not birth rates, that’s fertility rate. One measures births/1k and the other is an average of births per woman on their “child bearing lapse”.
Japan might have a fertility rate of 1.2 but they have 6 births/1000 people. Argentina with 1.5 have 11.1 births/1000
A more relevant measure is “Natural change”, it measure people death vs people birth not counting immigration:
India has +13 millions.
Japan has -870k.
China has -2 millions.
South Korea is “only” losing -77k people per year.
There are like 30~ countries that have negative population per year out of 197. Birthrates and fertility rate are going down each year, but not every country is losing population by it.
