"(CNN) -- Some 24 million Chinese men of marrying age will find themselves lacking wives in 2020, partly because of the country's one-child policy, which has led to the abortion of female fetuses, state media said Monday.
Sex-specific abortions have led to a large male population born since the 1980s, the China Daily newspaper said, citing a study conducted by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences."
So, what happens when young men don't have access to women? Take a look at the Muslim world, where polygamy has caused a similar situation. War - that's what happens. Without the prospect of marriage, and having no women to "civilize" them, young men get violent.
I say we find a way to steer these two trains toward one another.

Funny. I ran across that story and was thinking the exact same thing. And I think those trains will indeed meet one day. China is all over the globe now. Accumulating raw materials. The one difference is, however, China won't be bothered with any political correctness when it cracks down on Islamic fundamentalism.
Even stranger, most Chinese women are trying to marry foreigners.
'two trains' - what a good idea; perhaps its already begun...
