not to mention a potential army of unattached 8 million chinese men who could easily be drafted and sent out to war with who increases their level of frustration.
A very good friend of mine who lived in china for many years told me that the extent of male-female unbalanced ratio is often misunderstood. Yes, on the official papers there are indeed many millions more males than females. However, one has to actually live there to know that there are literally many millions of unregistered females. Why? With the one child policy, a family has to (1) find out if it's male or female and abort if it's female, (2) somehow kill the baby girl and proclaim death at birth, or (3) just don't register the baby girl and hide the fact that you've given birth at all.
Most people in China can't afford to have ultrasound find out the sex of the unborn child. Most people would at least feel uneasy killing their own child. With China's population still being overwhelmingly farmers and peasants, not having the authority know that you've given birth is a relatively easy thing to do. Choice 3, therefore, is the logical choice for most people.
But as riverrat suggested, since all chinese people are going to hell anyway for not being christian (I'm joking here) there's nothing for them to lose so they should just turn gay...

Occasionally, owing to the deficiency of the English language, I have used he/him/his meaning he or she/him or her/his or her in order to avoid awkwardness of style.
He, him, and his are not intended as exclusively masculine pronouns. They may refer to either sex or to both sexes!
