The China Syndrome

China's decades of promoting abortion has resulted in a shortage of women.  WSJ:

Using data from the 2005 China census -- the most recent -- a study published in last month's British Journal of Medicine estimates there was a surplus of 32 million males under the age of 20 at the time the census was taken. That's roughly the size of Canada's population.

Those left are literally making out like bandits. Perhaps this is what the feminists had in mind--the surviving women are more valuable--a new elite. 

The bride price has gone up and some brides are taking the money and running, leaving devastated families behind.
