18 million males - conspiracy theory

It was in the news a few weeks back, it is estimated that in China, there are 18 million more single males in the wedable age than there are of single females in the same age group.

This is due to China's single kid law they had for years, another brilliant idea from Mao. To think in an economics sense, the supply of males have increase, but the demand hasn't, so the "price" of males will drop. So, it will be very apparent that it will be a lot harder for males in China to find someone to get married. There are a few things they can do:

1. Work harder so they will increase their own prices in a way to attract single, but limited number of women.

2. Become gay, there will be 9 million pairs of gays in China. They will be bringing love, peace, and art into China. It will be a culutral revolution part 2!

Now, you have to know that ever since the single kid law came out, there have been social problems. First, parents in rural areas will only want to have boys instead of gals, because boys are better at working in the field. Second, if you have a generation of kids who can have the caring of not only their parents but also the caring of grandparents from both sides, like many single kids out there, these kids are likely to be very very spoiled. Compounded with an economic booms in China, spoilness will likely to increase.

Okay, so you have a lot of single guys in rural areas, who are likely to be spoiled. It is unlikely for them to do option 1 I listed before. The parents will likely to tell them, they are perfect anyways. Also, it is still quite traditional for guys living in rural areas, so option 2 is probably out of question as well...

If you go back to the number, 18 million, that is a huge number. According to my friend from China, he thinks the number is grossly underestimated. Because there are many many men (presumably rich) in China with multiple wifes. Also, Statistics China like to underestimated all the bad things in China. Maybe, that number is say... 5 million higher?

23 million single males? God damn, that is the population in TW! Can you imagine when you wake up in the morning, everyone you see becomes a guy, the news anchors, the guy on bike, everyone on transit, everyone in your office, and everyone in the mall...?!

Maybe, there is something behind this Single Kid Law. Maybe one day, the Chinese government will gather all these single guys up, hand them AK47s, and put them in fishing boats. Then tell them, "over there is TW, there are girls there, they all look like 臨智零!". TW will be reunited by these single males very quickly. Or another country, like Japan, "over there is Japan, there are girls there, they all look like 冰奇不!", Japan will fall as well!
