The government, with almost 200 million excess males due to sex-selection abortion, will not hesitate to trade blood for power.

This doesn't pass the litmus test. It's actually about 30 million male surplus (I just did a quick research on Google), which is still a lot. 200 million would imply nearly the whole population of the US--all male. That's not realistic.

Even if we should agree that the number is far closer to 30 million than 200 million, it is still tens of millions of extra bodies the government can call into service of the State at almost no cost to itself.

My point still stands: communist governments do not hesitate to shed human blood to stay in power. The only times that the bloodshed is taken into account is when it starts to affect the level of resources. This is what reduced, but did not stop, Stalin's consumption of his own citizens in his gulag.
