Due to the one-child policy and the cultural preference of having male offspring, there are far more boys than girls in China. 60,000,000 more by the end of the decade if birth trends continue.
This "gender gap" has alarmed even the Chinese government. On the news last night was the government's move to ban doctors from disclosing the sex of the fetus to the mothers. So they can't abort the girls.
This got me thinking: 60,000,000 more boys.
That's like an entire COUNTRY of boys.
Ayos.
