The Chinese one-child policy has reportedly encouraged families to abort female children. With the high population, that is probably causing a large imbalance of males to females. That's a lot of "surplus" young males who will be condemned to live life without female companionship. In the event of a ground war, the Chinese could probably field an army of several million of these disaffected youths.
Maybe that's how they intend to solve their burgeoning population of young men.
Which would work for the Chinese about as well as recruiting Crips and Bloods into the US Army would work for us--and it would fail because of the same underlying issue. Read some of George Gilder's early stuff (from before he tried to become a geek guru).
"Maybe that's how they intend to solve their burgeoning population of young men."
Reminds me of something Mao was supposed to have said when presented with the prospect of a nuclear war with the Soviet Union, "Good! Give me a hundred million fewer mouths to feed."
