Chinese officials warn of gender imbalance (Globe & Mail)

“China has about 117 boys for every 100 girls, with nearly 13 million more boys than girls under the age of nine, the official Xinhua news agency said.

If that trend continues, by 2020 China could have as many as 40 million men who cannot find a spouse, Xinhua quoted an official of a key government advisory body as saying. ”
