BEIJING (Reuters) - China may have 30 million to 40 million frustrated bachelors by 2020 as a cultural preference for sons prompts couples to abort girls, leading to more prostitution and trafficking of women, a senior official said Monday.
Many couples selectively abort female fetuses after medical screenings, resulting in a skewed sex ratio that could set off crime waves and social unrest, said Li Weixiong, vice-chairman of a national advisory body's population committee.
"This is by no means a sensational prediction," he said in a an unusually frank speech assessing the extent of a problem triggered by the controversial one-child policy and which threatens to create a population of unmarried men bigger than the entire population of Malaysia.

Just think about it, your walking down the street in China and all you see is nothing but guys. 
damm thats creepy!! 
damm thats creepy!!
/gg chinese culture!
I visited China this past December and there seems to be an equal amount of men and women in the places I visited.
BTW Chinese men will have even a harder time other than the fact that there is a lack of females in China. I learn that they are facing competition from Westerners. A lot of ladies there, when exposed to the West, are going for Caucasian guys if they have the opportunity.
They are fascinated and turned out by their height, musculature, chiseled looks, and blonds are a big plus. Even here in NYC I see a lot more pairings of young Asian ladies with tall strapping White guys than with guys of their own ethnicity. I also noticed an odd thing when I was in China: While there are Asian female models on billboard ads and posters ads, but 85% of the male models are all Caucasians and those that looked Chinese were obviously bi-racial.
Well, I supposed that if you are a woman in China, you'll have no trouble getting a date. If you a White guy and you are into Chinese women, you will have no trouble either.
