CHINA will be short of 30 million brides within 15 years, according to an official report into the country's burgeoning population.
About one in every 10 men aged between 20 and 45 - equivalent to almost the entire population of Canada - will be unable to find a wife.
The findings, from the State Population and Family Planning Commission, outline bleak prospects - and not only for bachelors.
The report says the gender imbalance could result in social instability - a threat that the Communist Party regards as the greatest risk to its grip on power.
It is almost three decades since China's rulers implemented a strict "one couple, one child" policy.
It replaced Chairman Mao Zedong's focus on a high birth rate, which had been intended to ensure that China could fend off enemies with human-wave warfare. The unintended consequences of those severe controls have become increasingly pronounced.
China's population is forecast to peak at 1.5 billion in 2033. That growth, coupled with demographic imbalances, will threaten social stability, the economy, the environment and jobs.
One effect of China's strict population control has been a jump in gender selection of babies. The traditional preference for a son means that more and more women abort their baby if an early-term ultrasound examination shows it to be a girl.
Officials deny that the gender imbalance is a result of the family-planning policy.
It is illegal for doctors to tell parents the results of an ultrasound test without a medical reason, though many do so.
As a result, abortions of female fetuses are widespread, especially in rural areas, as parents try to ensure that the one child they are allowed by law is a boy.

Solution: Send them all of our commie feminists. However, I imagine even godless commies have their standards. ;)
What else did they expect for their abortions of sweet baby girls. Either become gay or learn to satisfy yourselves. Are there any other options? Reap what you sow.
Could make for a rather large military force. And who do you think they might challenge?
hillarycare in action.
In a purely practical sense, if they become gay it will solve two problems, mitigate lonliness and further lower the population.
Well, if they all become fags, maybe they'll give each other AIDS. I could live with that.
The traditional option has been conquest.
There is ONE social phenomenon that ALWAYS occurs when females are at a premium. Humans will always trade on scarcity value and many women will find that they can fare much better in such circumstances by satisfying the needs of more than one man - many of whom will be prepared to pay the going rate.
Think mining camp.
We chop down rice, we wear high heels, and read from Chairman Mao...
Holy crap, that's crazy! Chinaman comes more than ten feet away from me and he's goin' down!
Live by the sword, die by the sword.
It would be cruel and heartless to send Cindy Sheehan to them.
We have a few extra Mexican's we could donate.....
I have heard that some believe that China will take Siberia from the Russians, since it is so resource rich and the Russian population (hence available military forces to defend it) is collapsing.
China needs women!
