China has the problem of way too many men (due in part to the one baby per couple rules). I wonder why they don’t go to the Philippines, Malaysia, etc and import willing brides for the young Chinese bachelors?

I don’t know how well this is going to work. It reminds me of our welfare system. Women having babies is not going to save Russia, people having families will.

“If we do not balance off the Chinese with Indians, Africans or aliens

Don't even think about it

Looks like even Russian women don’t seem to think much of Chinese men...or is this pure racism? Having lived in China for a few years, I can imagine why no one except Chinese women would be caught dead with Mainland men.

Putin, are you listening?

But then, given the inherent racism that is so rampant in Russia, what makes Indian men more acceptable than Chinese, Africans and (sniggering) ALIENS, I really wonder.

Looks like Indians are fast turning into the world’s favorite Immigrant group.

China doesn’t want all of the extra males it has, and it certainly doesn’t want any of them to get married and reproduce. It wants them to perform useful work and then die childless and as young as possible. So importing brides from somewhere else isn’t going the solve their man surplus. If Mao were still around, he’d probably make them all do forced labor until they died.

And Russia doesn’t want to import the extra males from China because they are fearful of losing their East to China. They already have an exploding muslim population, so that only leaves India as a regional source of men.

Incomes in China are lower than those in the other countries mentioned. And Chinese incomes are only a tad higher than those in Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. The problem in China isn't too many males - it's too many dirt-poor males making $25 a month down on the family farm. (Middle class Chinese males have no problem finding prospects - it's the peasants in isolated villages who can't find wives. And there's a lot of isolated villages, given that almost 70% of China is agrarian). Many of them will live with and support their parents until they pass on, by which time these bachelors will be too old to get married.

FYI, middle class Chinese are the ones making $125 a month down in the big city. These incomes are still lower than in the countries you mentioned.

1 million children in orphanages in this country. They're not "little criminals", as Russian tv labels them, and they're not the children of gulag prisoners anymore.

I once spent an entire day in Moscow asking women why they only had 2 children. Those kvartera need more bedrooms.

Can we send them surplus Mexican Nationals who have invaded the US illegal aliens on lend-lease?

Sorry, did not want to be branded a 'Raza-ist'.

How can she be sure that Indian men would want to marry Russian women?

They'll be certainly expecting family-inclined position from the supposed brides like no working for hire.

They won't find enough candidates in any noticeable q-ty.

Because, unlike Russia, China does not have a shrinking population problem.

That's true.

Russian tv labels them

Such statement makes an anware person think that Russian TV intentionally lies about those children. That's not so. On the other hand orphanage children do tend to be engaged in criminal activities due to natural reasons: poverty, poor orphanage keeping, social background.

I once spent an entire day in Moscow asking women why they only had 2 children. Those kvartera need more bedrooms.

Sure. They will say you that. The problem is whether its exclusive. Majority of Russians (women as well as men) just don't want to have many children - they want childless lifestyle. The same attitude is in the Western Europe and in the USA among whites. Official US stats says a there are 1.9 children per a white female in the USA.

Kvartera = apartment. Thanks for throwing in a Russian word. I took Russian 20 years ago and recently bought the Rosetta Stone language online software. I hope to one day be fluent in Russian. Fortunately for me my new neighbor is Ukrainian so I hope to lose some pride and start trying to converse with him in Russian.

True. Russians are nice looking till they hit 30. The transition from a HOTTTT 20 something to a Walrus of a Babushka is scary to say the least.

Besides..met very few genuinely nice Russians. A lot of them were just plain hostile. Some of the polite ones had their racially superior stereotypes.

Lots of Siberian ho’s in China. They re the only “westerners” the Chinese men are confident approaching.
