A Solution to the Male-Female Imbalance in China

Umm... wars deplete male populations and famine deplete populations of both sexes equally. A male-to-female imbalance is problematic because it creates social tension.

And just because China has experienced all kinds of disasters in its history doesn't mean we should take current problems lightly and expect them to be "resolved on their own".

I think importing brides is a perfectly good way of solving the gender imbalance problem. It won't solve the problem by itself, but it's certainly a good contribution. Another solution is to export bachelors.

War also depletes female population through famine plundering of villages and towns, not to mention rapes.

True, but China doesn't need some obnoxious social science grad student to tell her what or how to do it. It's already been resolved through polygamy marriages (in this case, one girl and several guys) in some places, but not all. Whether you agreed to it or not, it is part of the solution to resolving that problems IF they want to keep the race and culture intact. Of course I'm not advocating this solution to another, but my argument is why beat a dead horse with this subject matter? Let the people resolve the problems themselves. There is no one universal way of doing things.

How much population do you expect a war to deplete? A million or two? If that happens, the world would go insane.

World War I and II depleted population of millions in Europe and ravages that generation a lot. Luckily the baby boomer generation were able to replace the lost with many babies. If the population of young people gets depleted it will ravage that nations demographic for generations to come.

I think those gals are there just to earn some $$ while they can. I don;t think their intention is to marry Chinese men and live there forever. I could be wrong BUT native Chinese men with western' wives are extremely rare in China.

Polygamy means many wives, polyandry means many men. I read somewhere that in some very poor regions in the Himalayas a woman can marry a group of brothers to assemble enough people to produce enough to raise children.
