香港南华早报: 中国真正的问题是"剩男".
中国真正的问题是"剩男"
South china morning post: China's real problem is leftover 1 men.
"Leftover women" has become an interest issue of young unmarried women generates in China.
The media writes relentlessly 2 about them, feminists 3 seethe 4 at the stigmatisation, and matchmaking and accessories industries thrive solving the "problem".
In contrast, there's far less interest in China's real leftovers 5 - its men. Years of the one-child policy and sex determination caused by preference for boys means there are now 20 million more men under 30 than women.
Even if all these women took the state's advice to be less "picky", it would still leave 20 million leftover men. By 2040, there will be 44 million such leftover men of marriageable age.
"Leftover women" are an avoidable social phraseology; "leftover men" are an inescapable statistical 6 reality.
