After almost 30 years of the policy, China now has the largest gender imbalance in the world, with 37 million more men than women and almost 20 percent more newborn boys than girls nationwide.
--estimates in a People's Daily interview that 10 percent of Chinese men will be unable to find wives, which could have a huge impact on Chinese society
testosterone levels, which are linked to aggression and violence, dropped when they married and increased when they divorced. Eternally single men, by extension, maintain high levels of testosterone--a recipe for violent civil unrest

"Serves them right", Deepti?
.... because they're Chinese or for their ugliness....
.....and if they were rich... I guess they could buy themselves a chain of interchangeable wives... like harems.... in the Middle East?.... ....or create another religious sect, the Western way....
... Love and marriage... go together with a horse and carriage...... just remembered that from my childhood....
.... Nowadays, we would substitute "horse" with "assets" and carriage with "Ferrari"... never mind the rhyme....

I shouldn't point fingers at the Chinese as the very same thing is happening in my country, India.
I meant serves them right in the sense they are reaping what they sow...things
have gotten to such an extent that very soon tables will turn on the
males in both countries, and they are going to lose whatever supposed 'cultural superiority' they have over the women.

I guessed that you were Indian...
losing "whatever supposed 'cultural superiority??"........
...are you worried about there not being enough women, or about the mentioned cultural superiority they'll be losing ??.....
What if they never really had any of that at all ?...
They'll have nothing to lose then... and if that's the way their minds are ticking (in fear of being overtaken by the female brain), they might as well just curl up and forget about the race altogether..... The race was over a long, long time ago.... they bungled that and got amnesia, or maybe they're just pure dumb anyway....

Of the two, I'd say it worries me that there will not be enough women...it just puts more stress on the few women who manage to make it through this maze.

I'm glad I was born female in a part of India that doesn't see me as a liability, I was never held back by my family because of my gender.....but my heart goes out to those who aren't as lucky...
