A million "excess" boys a year

Times thirty years.
A bias in favor of male offspring has left China with 32 million more boys under the age of 20 than girls, creating “an imminent generation of excess men,” a study released Friday said.
32 million is the population of California. So what happens when California has no women to hook up with on friday night? Elton John had the answer.

The problem, of course, comes from the Chicom.Gov's forced "one child per family" policy, which has collided with the traditional Chinese desire for male heirs. How's that government regulation of society working out, there?

But don't worry, the very smart people from the New York Times assure us that they have the answer: more government regulation.
They said enforcing the ban against sex-selective abortions could normalize the sex ratio in the future.
Well that's all settled, then. Glad it was so easy.

So in 20 years it'll regulate itself! Excellent. You'll have millions of 40-something men vying for a bunch of 20 year-old women.

Invest in Viagra.

Actually what's horrifying about this is a full generation of only-child males. China's going to get significantly more driven and aggressive a few decades down the line.

Not in a few decades..now! This is already a problem. Be ready for a 32 million man army to come pouring out of there sometime soon.
