Interesting. Poetic justice, if you ask me, since they have been quick to abort their baby girls under the "one child" policy. Anyhoo, there's a glut of single men in China who want wives and the problem is getting worse. Any takers?

Poetic justice for all those unneeded abortions. "Kill a baby, retire a penis".

No way, don't tell me you've never tried that one

White rice, bean sprouts, scallions, ajno moto..... a few pineapple chunks.

It just blows me away

But seriously, they have such a high male birth rate coz the communists intended to have a standing army that will be the biggest known to man, and they have already achieved that, yet Population Inc., thrives..... thanks to Walmart and GM too

Y'all can come over for my infamous Five Peppers Egg Drop Pasta. I can whip up a fresh Lemon/Honey/Cilantro/Rosemary Sweet & Sour sauce that will curl your toes.

Seriously though, my favorite inlaw is a dude from Shanghai. We have a grand old time crunching numbers quantifying demographic trends (this is recreational for us). And since he's pulling down seven figures, he's making my cousin one very happy girl. He earns, she invests. Perfect marriage.

China needs to start realizing what they are doing to their own people. Its bad enough that for centuries women couldn't walk because their feet were disfigured due to the notion that small feet were sexy and so they had their thumbs and toes under their soles and their feet looked like the shape of a kite. Then someone came up with the idea that eating babies was okay. Now ,they are in need of women. I'm not trying to talk down to modern chinese men, but with all that history behind them, no wonder women don't want to marry them. Besides, as far as I know, its the men that don't want to marry.
