China's poorest men should be made to share wives because a shortage of women means there are not enough to go around, says top economist

BRIDE SHORTAGE, UNMARRIED MEN AND FOREIGN WOMEN FOR SALE IN CHINA

BRIDE SHORTAGE IN CHINA

The high number of male births has also resulted in a shortage of brides. According to the Chinese Academy of Sciences one in five young men will be brideless. It is estimated that one million Chinese men will reach marriageable age every year and be unable to find a wife. Studies indicate that one in ten to one in six men “a number equivalent to the entire population of Canada---will never get married and that unmarried men between 20 and 44 already outnumber their female counterparts 2 to 1.

In the total population of only 284 in Jin's tiny hamlet in Da Xin township in China's Hunan province, the number of single women is zero. There hasn't been a wedding or a new home built here for a decade. "I'm poor and I'm no longer young," says Jin, who's 33 and still boyish-looking. "There are so many bachelors that I will never find a girl to marry me."

they have many older people who sacraficed alot for mao's madness so they cant denigrate them and they also got their own power and legitimacy from that.

violent chaotic revolution agains the upper class and calling it a successful technique is hardly a viewpoint they wish to indulge ahha.

The [former] dictator is enjoying a surge of popularity. But the rise of this neo-Maoist movement could upend China’s stability.

If Beijing keeps breaking free-trade rules to make its foreign-policy points against rival nations, it will hurt domestic markets and lose international stature

Quite.

Middle class women in urban China have three minimum criteria that men must meet:

Own a house, or at least a sizeable apartment, in the city.
Own a car.

Have a respected well paying stable job with good prospects.

Other factors include family background and class which have re-emerged as significant considerations.
