The gross mismatch between male and female births in China is creating significant problems which logically will continue. With 118 boys born for every 100 girls, millions of Chinese men will be forced to live without wives.
And then there's this:
Police in China have launched an investigation into the suspected abduction of 100 Vietnamese women who had been sold as brides to Chinese men, state media said.Therefore, women have become a marketable commodity in China. Naturally, we can expect feminist leaders to express outrage in the near future.
The missing women had been living in remote villages in the central province of Hunan, the official Xinhua news agency reported, quoting local police and family members.
After the women disappeared, some husbands received phone calls ordering them to pay ransoms or their wives would be sold again, Xinhua said.
The report did not say when the women disappeared.
