Chinese gender imbalance will leave millions of men without wives
telegraph.co.uk ^ | Jan. 11, 2010

More than 24 million Chinese men of marrying age could find themselves without spouses in 2020, with sex-specific abortions a major factor.

A study by the government-backed Chinese Academy of Social Sciences named the gender imbalance among newborns as the most serious demographic problem for the country's population of 1.3 billion.

"Sex-specific abortions remained extremely commonplace, especially in rural areas," where the cultural preference for boys over girls is strongest, the study said, noting the reasons for the gender imbalance were "complex".

A researcher, Wang Guangzhou, said the skewed birth ratio could lead to difficulties for men with lower incomes in finding spouses, as well as a widening age gap between partners, according to the Global Times.

Another researcher quoted by the newspaper, Wang Yuesheng, said men in poorer parts of China would be forced to accept marriages late in life or remain single for life, which could "cause a break in family lines".

Excess horny young male populations have often been employed in the military with external, expansionary focus.

A lot of people have been saying this for a lot of years. What will happen when all these horny men can't find wives? I don't know, but I am sure it can't be good. It is possible that there won't be a woman in China who will be safe.

“kill the men and take the women and children” has been a mark of humanity for much of history, along with slavery, rats and starvation.

One thing it will do is give an additional incentive for emigration. You’ll find Chinese entrepreneurs in every country on earth, and this will give this additional impetus.

And it will eventually swing back the other way when things like Husband dowrys become commonplace and the farmer’s find their daughters can now fetch a handsome prize from the prospective husband...

I expect 3 solutions(probably in parallel) to solve this problem:

1. Import mail order brides from other countries (this is already happening)

2. Export surplus men via trade/immigration/war...etc

3. Tolerate/Encourage homosexuality at home

This will lead to China sending 25 million “excess” men abroad on wars of conquiest and colonization.

They will correctly perceive that they have a better chance at finding a mate in the Philippines, Malaysia, Taiwan etc than if they stay home.

It’s a win-win for the Beijing govt. If they are killed, great. Less angry frustrated men. If they are victorious, Beijing gains colonies.

I think there will be more Chinese than Africans in Africa in 100 years.

Countries like New Zealand will fall like plucking a low hanging apple from a tree. To the Chinese, countries like New Zealand seem as “empty” as America did to the colonists in 1500.
