#2 Excess number of young men. Excess testosterone. Sounds like conditions are ripe for war.

#4 South Korea is experiencing some surprising consequences.

As late has the 80s most of the girls in the bars, and many future 'war' brides, outside of American installations were native Koreans. Now it appears from the net, they're imports largely from the Philippines. The Philippines also seems to supply the same trade in Japan. It will be interesting in a decade or so given the degree of tribalism, let alone racism, that underpins Asian societies. Not only didn't the Americans have problems marrying regardless of origin, but they had no reluctance to also adopted the orphans and small ones that their own society refused to incorporate. I suspect the Philippines could also put a dent into the Chinese problem, but the xenophobic elements of Chinese history and culture will probably inhibit it.

#5 Procopius,
The problem is one of scale. South Korea has half the population of the Philippenes, Japan has 30% more people. China has 15 times as many people.

Importing outside women will just be a band aid. I fully expect China to turn its young males loose on its neighbors, where they will conquer or die. Either outcome will be good for the ruling clique.

#6 They do not mention it by name but here is the cuase:

ABORTION.

Any questions now about the evil effects of elective abortion?

#7 These young men won't be the children of successful people. In Chinese cities, girl babies fit in just fine and people don't think anything of it. It's only in the rural provinces where sons mean the difference between a retirement of indolence versus being alone.

If they could just have 'both families' like we do, it wouldn't be so much of a problem. But a woman becomes part of the husband's family and must take care of his parents. I wonder who came up with that idea, eh?
