Growing Chinese surplus of male children
Joel Skousen's World Affairs Brief, May 17, 2002

Valerie Hudson, a professor of political science at BYU, warns that by the year 2020, the Chinese nation will have 30 million surplus young males with no hope of marriage, and likely to be uneducated, unskilled and unemployed.

Historically, when such a surplus has existed, China's totalitarian regimes have tended to use them up as soldiers in war. Given China's ultimate hegemonic goals, the timing of this upsurge in male children (a direct result of China's limitation of one child per family combined with the culture's preference for male children) may not be a mere coincidence.

Why so many? (one-child policy has produced millions of orphans). MaineSunJournal, Aug 10, 2007
...The Chinese government estimates that its policies have prevented 250 to 300 million births. But, the one-child policy is also tragically flawed. In Chinese culture, a male heir is expected to support his parents, while a female, when she marries, becomes part of her new husband's family. In a society without a Social Security safety net or a strong pension system, obtaining a male heir is a form of retirement planning. Without a son, an elderly Chinese couple may be left without a means of supporting themselves....Poor parents who feel they need a male heir often end up with a girl baby, which they feel compelled to abandon in order to try again for a boy....As a result, some sources estimate that 70 to 80 percent of China's orphans are girls. Most often, the only boys who end up in the orphanage system are disabled....The one-child policy has had a secondary serious consequence: China has a growing gap between the number of men and women....Demographers now believe China will be "missing" 60 million females by the end of the decade. China's 2000 census found 117 boys per 100 girls under the age of five, and this gap is expected to widen over time, resulting in practical social problems that can only be imagined.

THE CHINESE ARE COMING!

WHERE HAVE ALL THE CHILDREN GONE?
