#4 There are many stereotypes about only children. They like to be the centre of attention, they are lonely, they are maladjusted and they are spoiled brats. Picture an entire generation of kids growing up this way. There is a term for this: The Little Emperor Syndrome.

Here we call them Trust Fund Babies.

#5 They like to be the centre of attention, they are lonely, they are maladjusted and they are spoiled brats. I don't see how this applies to the vast number of dirt poor boys / only children. It takes money/resources to spoil a child.

#6 Maybe China will export its surplus of A-quality women.

#7 I teach these kids English in China. To compound the M/F disparity, the little boys are often complete sh*ts while the girls are generally little angels. The ratio is just the first issue, the second is Chinese girls know the boys are often not worth having as a spouse.

#8 the little boys are often complete sh*ts while the girls are generally little angels My teachers of Mandarin here in the USA were all native born Chinese women, excellent people.

#9 Maybe China will export its surplus of A-quality women.

An excellent idea. I don't know if it's still true or not but at one time a lot of baby girls in China were being offered for adoption. I remember thinking it would be a good thing to adopt one but could never scrape up the cash that would have been required.
