#2 1. Resettling them back home won't work, local government officials will simply steal any money allocated for development.

2. The workers can come back any time, and indeed will when business picks up again.

3. China passed a new labor law this year that prevents factories from firing workers en masse. This was supposed to prevent this sort of thing happening. However, the law is only enforced against foreign companies, Chinese companies are largely exempt.

#3 Responding to an unusually lucid JM comment, there is no way that a Chinese man would take an African bride - uh-huh. They regard Africans as little better than beasts.

#4 And the Chinese male/female population imbalance could just as easily be solved by marrying literally boat loads of Filipinos - but it goes back to that cultural 'inferiority' thingy. In the US, the government erects laws to inhibit such marriages when the culture is open to it.

More to the point, there is no shortage of women in urban areas. The shortages are in farm country - nobody wants to marry a farmer with a postage sized plot (1.66 acres, on average). Men with the savvy to survive in Africa would have no problem getting Chinese wives. It's the farmers who are having to kidnap women from Vietnam and/or other provinces to get hitched.
