    China will have 30 million more men of marriageable age than women by 2020, making it difficult for them to find wives, according to a national report.

    The gender imbalance could lead to social instability, the report by the State Population and Family Planning Commission warned.

    I guess the price of Russian mail order brides will go up as a result?

    I wonder if West Virginia/Kentucky/southwestern Virginia might become the new hot spot for mail-order brides.

    China has begun addressing this through government incentive programs for parents producing daughters.

    The real issue is the value as it relates to daughters and sons. Once that is disgarded things can begin to correct.

    I'm not a math major, but isn't 30,000,000 like 1.5 percent of China's population?
