China Has A Bit Of A Problem

[mrjarrell]

And I, for one, don't think it's a small one. They've got an imbalance between the sexes in their country. Too many males and not enough females. One in four males in that country are going to go through life without a wife, or even a girlfriend. That number works out to 10's of millions of people who are going to react in a variety of ways, (as the author points out) but he doesn't think creatively enough. These guys could plunge China into a state of chaos. Especially, since the government can't possibly do anything about it, (short of sending expeditionary forces abroad to kidnap women). While it's a sad situation on one level, on another it lends itself to creating a chaotic dystopia where rape gangs rove the cities and countryside. Then again, they could always euthanise the lonely.

My guess is you'll see more polyandry.

That would be an acceptable solution, and one that could potentially be very beneficial to women and children. Just not sure the communist government would allow it to freely occur. Forcibly, however....

I suspect it'll happen more informally. Though, in China you never know, you could be right.

Has homosexuality not taken hold in China yet? Maybe they should import some American television shows...

China is getting women from Russia. I read a piece on this a few months ago. Wish I could remember where.

How bad is Russia when you will box yourself up and ship yourself off to China?

They've had this problem in China for a little while now.

They might have to alter the one child policy and make having boys illegal, or carry heavy fines. A country full of a bunch of guys, I'm sure tourism is going to boom

China is going into Africa. They're going to give this generation of "unpaired" men rifles, restaurants, dry goods stores, and funding and send them into Africa. That's where the land is, that's where the water and minerals are. That's where they are going. One way or another (sword or commerce), it's going down. It's already started.

Definitely boom. In more ways than one. IIRC crime rates and political unrest rises and falls with the population of young males.

Can you imagine a country going to war over women?

The same thing is happening in India, unfortunately. The world's two most populous nations, and centuries of devaluing females, and this is what you get.

I forget what I was watching and it was about China (maybe People's Republic of Capitalism, ) and that was one thing they mentioned.

Pretty much it comes down to too much testosterone and being too bored. Crime rates increase, gang membership increases, possible cultural revolution, etc.

well good, maybe they will go extinct.

China has a lot of issues that are going to end up being detrimental to itself (maybe not it's people, but it's government). It has to many males period. If you look at Tunisia, Egypt, China, Yemen, etc you'll see they have somethings in common, but the most destructive would be the unemployed male population of under 30. You have all these young unemployed, unmarried, educated males that have NOTHING to do. That's how revolutions get started in those types of places. There's a reason China blocked all the news of Tunisia and Egypt, they didn't want their people getting any ideas.

 

[Stschil]

I can't seem to find anything quickly to support this but, I seem to remember reading something years ago where Chinese families were aborting female fetuses if their one government approved pregnancy was a male child.
I could be mistaken. I'm my memory is correct, however, they've done it to themselves.
Besides, how else are you going to build and maintain a million man army if you dont have an imbalance in the number of males in the population?

That was a war over A woman, not over women
