JOHN EDWARDS' BEAUTICIAN IS GOING TO BE BUSY:
'Wife shortage' to hit nation in 2020s (Li Fangchao, 2007-07-07, China Daily)
Today's boys may face a major problem when they become tomorrow's men - they will find it very difficult to get hitched, simply because there won't be enough women.Sociologists are calling for swift measures to be taken to address the nation's growing gender ratio imbalance.
China now has 37 million more males than females, the People's Daily reported on Friday, without giving the source.
And the number of males below the age of 15 is 18 million more than females in the same age group, the report said.

This is the natural result of what the Chinese Communist Party calls "the superiority of socialism" (shehuizhuyi de youyuexing). Now can anyone explain to me why there are so many people in Europe and America who continue to be shills for this regime and are salivating at the idea China will overtake America?
Posted by: X at July 7, 2007 9:50 AMI may hazard an explanation.
Witches, queers, folk-enemies and culture-traitors hate America so much that they gladly shill for any force which they dream might oppose or weaken America. If not Communism, then the spiritual jailhouse, if not them, then China, or someone else. Anyone, just so those white Christers finally get their comeuppance.
Just read their books and articles. The prate of
"nemesis," and "downfall." They search history for examples of "decline," sure that we are about to "collapse."
Let them rave on. As the succesive echelons of alien hordes follow the Motherland of Socialism into the ashheap, the lesson will be all the more graphic for having taken the chattering classes once more by surprise.
Anyone paying attention figured out decades ago this would happen when the Chinese instituted this policy without also banning selective abortions.
The problem with social engineering is that it always leads to further engineering (by the same people) to correct the problems caused by the earlier engineering. The engineers know this, and rely on it to keep them in business.
I think it's a small group of people with this take on China, who the media (biased by anti americanism and having a pro communist/socialist agenda) likes to run stories about or push this opinion. The only problem is that the reality of China keeps breaking out into the everyday - dog food, toothpaste, vitamins, tires, food ingredients, which has already done irreversible damage to this charade. I think the US Gov't finally said "F it, let's start really checking all this trade if they're not revevaluating their currency, selling weapons to the taliban and iranians, etc." - so now the departments of the USG are doing what they do best - regulating and bureaucracy, and China can't figure out the game.
