CNN had a video / article on it today

Homosexuality has GOT to be rampant over there

Since introducing their policy of only one family per child, since males are the preferred sex for a child in China, women have aborted female babies while holding out for a male. Consequently, only 100 females are being born for every 118 males. It's even worse in poorer or rural areas where the figures are 100 females for every 130 males.

Those Chinese sure know how to build a population, don't they? I'm rather certain that any walk of life could have warned that a shortage of females in time would produce diminishing returns for a population in the long run.

So, if China's population curve peaks, how soon will this world realize the strongest army ever before the male population gets too old? Hmmm....

Yep, They screwed their selves playing that hand to limit children a couple can have. I guess it came back to stick them in tha ass the hard way.

also this could be very dangerous time to come for china and parents. They might impose a law where that if boys are produced in the womb. They must be aborted or they will be killed at birth. It sounds out there but knowing china this is very possible to happen. And will the US come into prevent this kinda of murder if the malechild makes it to birth?
It is quite a possible scene for china in the future.

I don't believe China ever had a boys only policy to build up their army. The y have apolicy of one child and girls aren't worth squat to their families. So many were killed upon birth or aborted.

This problem is a reality of country life in China," said Zhang. "We have a 2,000-year feudal history that considered men superior to women, that gave boys the right to carry on the family name and allowed men to be emperors while women could not."
He called gender imbalance "a very serious challenge for China
