China News Thread

Most Chinese that marry out of China are women marrying to foreign men.

Foreigners that marry into China are more even, maybe even biased towards Chinese men.

I get the gist of what you are saying but I think the wording is imprecise. First China only has stats on official marriages in China, so I'm not sure what "marry out of China" means. Foreign countries won't share stats with China on whether Chinese nationals got married abroad. Second, since marriage legally is concerning joint ownership of properties, the meaning becomes more complicated. A Chinese foreigner couple can choose to register their marriage in 0, 1 or 2 different places, does this impact the statistics?

Does marry into China mean the first country the couple register their marriage in is in China, as opposed to say getting married in USA then using the US marriage certificate to also register the marriage in China?

The stat that is similar to the one you described I've seen is like foreign groom/bride numbers in China every year, which might be more relevant for our discussions.

have to look at the detailed original data to determine that, this is just a news article which is never as good at data if you want insight.

The soil underneath many Chinese cities are very soft, so this is a real challenge that must be addressed. Many Chinese cities are built in flood plains / river delta, where the soil primarily consists of sediment deposited by rivers. Note the non Chinese cities mentioned in the article, Houston, Delhi, and Mexico City, all share the same geological/geographical conditions.

Most historic large cities were built in such places to begin with. If you aren't close to a major body of water like a river how are you going to provide water for the local population? And a lot of them are near the sea as well.

China’s border ports processed over 141 million inbound and outbound trips in the first quarter of the year, up 117% from a year earlier, China's National Immigration Administration said today. Among them, over 69.5 million were made by Chinese mainlanders..

China is especially unfortunate due to the size of the Yellow River flood plain and the extreme amount of sediment deposited by the Yellow River due to the Loess Plateau, coupled with climate change contributing to water stress in North China. Not all cities built close to rivers suffer from this soft soil issue, for instance the ground below New York is primarily hard rock. It's just geography/geology, there is nothing you can do but deal with it. I'm sure China has plenty of engineers that are capable of coming up with a solution.

Maybe we should forget about ASML, because large swaths of Netherlands situated below sea level.
