Yup, that’s why I argued that China should focus on opening its borders to foreign women (both educated and less educated ones) because most nation states today are still patriarchal, meaning men are in positions to set political agendas and construct narratives. If China were to imports lots of foreign men (especially from less developed countries that remain strongly patriarchal), China WILL suffer the same consequence France and Britain did.
China has a unique case of men actually being weaker (with the exceptions of few CPC leaders and corporate CEOs) than women in societal influence and setting narratives partially due to the CPC’s entrenched feminist ideology/policies. PRC is already somewhat of a quasi-matriarchal nation in most social strata with exception at the political top brass and Muslim regions. Lower class Chinese men are equivalent to the Dalits of China. So giving work permits and PR to foreign women would actually help stabilise demographics and enhance social stability/justice. Kids born to PRC fathers and foreign mothers in China are also more likely to be ideologically and culturally assimilated.
For example, Vietnamese and SE women married to Chinese men in Guangxi and Yunnan (as well as Russian women married to Chinese men) are more like to stay and work in China. Meanwhile, middle class Chinese women married to foreign businessmen in first tiers cities are likely to immigrate abroad and spread hatred toward China. This issue is a combination of gender conflict, colonial mindset, and economic inequality.
