Excessive male population is solved by war.

Exactly. With Japan, Taiwan, S. Korea, and thereby the U.S. If we wimp out with a wimpy government, then they get all the women they can carry back -- from abroad.

This is a serious problem a few years ago already. When my sister lived in Japan, there was a rash of kidnappings of Japanese women by Chinese men, and the Chinese government refused to put a stop to the practice. Mongolia, Russia, and more of China's neighbors are suffering from a similar problem.

I wouldn't put too much stock into this article. China's finding women well enough, it's China's neighbors that are in more trouble by this one-child policy.

That's right. From what I understand there is a 10 -20 year window of "opportunity" for China. (The exact window is debatable).

And HIV. The HIV rate in China is skyrocketing. Wonder why?!

The last population crisis in the mid-1800s led to a collapse of imperial government.

Muslim polygamy promotes war because you are left with lots of men with no sex partners, poor possibility of getting wives, so they go to war for booty and the enemy's women

Sorry to say you are probably right.
