China Faces Crisis: “Where Will We Find Brides!?”

watarase-jun-chinadress.jpg

The huge and rapidly growing imbalance in China’s ratio of males to females has been known for some time, but surveys reveal Chinese themselves are now acutely aware of the impending demographic crisis:

“There are 36 boys in our son’s class, and only 19 girls. We worry as to whether he can ever find a wife like this…”

The imbalance, generally attributed to the one child per family policy and a deep seated prejudice against the value of girls as heirs causing female infants to be killed or aborted, has long been of concern to demographers.

Estimates suggest that in 2005 there were already 32 million more males than females amongst the younger generations, with some fearing the potential for the imbalance to balloon to over a hundred million in the decades to come; a rapidly increasing aged population further compounds the issue.

Officials in charge of the one child program deny a significant imbalance exists, and provide their own dubious statistics in support of this, but concerns over the problem are now keenly felt by the population at large, with male Chinese being well aware they may face a future without marriage.

A survey which asked some 900 Chinese “do you feel the gender balance around you is equal?” yielded unambiguous results: 73.1% said they felt men were “plainly more numerous than women,” and only 13.7% felt the sexes to equally balanced.

Unsurprisingly, 59.7% thought there would be a negative influence on their ability to marry.

Some Chinese worry that the nation may already be headed into decline even in the midst of its promising if unsustainable growth, as a future where countless millions of men are denied any prospect of marriage may prove socially disastrous.

    There is a simple solution for this emerging problem, that is war.

    The last anon expressed my thoughts exactly.
    They said water may become the cause of wars in the future, but i think "brides" is a far more dangerous commodity. We should arrange a fair trade immediately to avoid the impending crisis...!

    Give them cats. Import Japanese men and export Chinese men. Japanese men are happy with cats remember? Chinese men want Japanese wives to feel superior after a war remember?

    So maybe the solution is to swap the populations. Or maybe change positions.

    Better yet they can stop exporting baby females! I know this year in about July, China stopped adopting of female babies into the US with more restrictions (before seemingly none).

    Psh Chinese men would never be able to marry a japanese woman. They are too poor to even date one let one keep one for a wife.

    Was JUST gonna mention the disadvantages of importing cats into China before you beat me to it, Artefact. :3

    Also: protip for China with overabundance of males...... there's always 1) organ farming, 2) QUIT bitching about not enough girl children and actually stop aborting/adopting out/KEEP the girls God (or Mother Nature, if you prefer) decides you deserve and be THANKFUL for 'em. ;\

    Going to a dentist in Japan is very expensive. Having braces costs 2 million yen(approx. 20K USD) so there are a lot of people who have crooked teeth.

    Sounds like you need more realistic exposure to Japan and China and the AVERAGE display of non-dental work to each, respectfully. It's not all about what you see or hear on SC and TV. Those who've actually visited other countries (or atleast the ones befitting to the supposed "topic") already know this.

    So, if they're a little bigger than 1 of them should be enough for two or three Chinese guys.
