China has a young male problem.

In 6 years that demographic problem will be a crisis. That many young men with no prospect of a family; a girl friend; or future...will not bode well for the CCP.

They need to act soon to either get them more people under their control, or to wipe out the young males who will be “anxious.”

Gee....I wonder how a country does that?

China has a young male problem.

I started reporting that scenario to my officials in 1998, and the amount of flack I got was stupendous. Flack from about 50% and total disregard. Missionaries were telling me and others about the death rate of females versus males in infanticide and selective abortion.

Ultimately, the numbers came out to 30 million females short, which meant there would not be wives for those men. Without the wives, they would not have children, etc. on down the line. With this, the one child policy, and with the upside down support triangle, the population demographic drain funnel for China is about to hit full stride.

I am not sure how Xi is planning on dealing with this. Maybe the same way that Hezekiah did "Is it not good, if peace and truth be in my days?".

Chinese military and political leaders have considered dealing with the excess male population via what they called a “wasting war” in which vast amounts of infantry would be sent against India to be slaughtered by India.

These would be conscripts and not regular forces. So far there is no inkling of the PLA calling up conscripts so I’d say this is not a concern for now.

So, it will be a ‘client war’ that the Chinese can fund and direct. I’m sure the CCP can parlay their political clout into an agenda that will attract eager fighters.
