There's 34 million more men than women in China. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2018/world/too-many-men/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2018/

  But there are more than a billion chinese citizens... In fact the gender ratio among 15-24 year old chinese (the peak of the one child gender curve) is 1.17. That's not low, but it's hardly a strong effect either. In particular those 17% of citizens having trouble finding a mate seems like a rather smaller effect than the significantly larger increase in workforce participation among their more numerous female coworkers. So China loses a few men who check out because they can't get a date, and gains women by the truckload (no, I don't have demographics) who are entering the workforce. I still don't see why this is a social problem. So I look to other people trying to claim this is a social problem, and I'm sorry, I see a lot of "der der redpill" and not much else. If this is a serious economic argument, then please make it.

    It’s not “a few men”. It’s tens of millions of men.

  They solve that by legalizing polyandry, but I don't know if Chinese social dynamics would support such an arrangement. Actual red pillers won't like that solution, for sure.

    Wow, legalizing polyandry? I'm genuinely amused by how you guys demonize China.
