What and why?
As many of you already know, in China there is a preference for male children over female. This results in an imbalance of males over females, the current rate being 117:100. These are alarmingly high rates, which will lead to as many as 25 million men unable to marry by the year 2020.
Most of the issue is believed to be caused by the One-Child policy, as most families still want to have a boy. Therefore there is a higher rate of gender-cide, throwing away baby girls as each family may only have one child without paying a hefty fee.
