re: The Chinese have a.message for women over 27.

I spent some time in China as part of my international business residency and this statement is largely true.

A byproduct of the one child policy is not only that there are more men but also that those parents with daughters felt like they were disadvantaged. So they poured education into them and as a result this issue of women having high standards is a problem. They want a man of similar education and higher earning power but this is not what the average Chinese male produces. The vast majority of males end up in menial manufacturing or construction jobs. The middle class is growing in China but this isn't what these educated women are looking for.

Moreover, the fat cat Chinese males don't want an educated high maintenance woman. They want a pretty and subservient 21 year old girl from a notable lineage. Remember this is the country that was killing daughters at birth within the past two decades. Women are in fact disposable items in the eyes of some Chinese.

So it's easy to laugh at the poster but the fact is it's largely true and the suicide rate among unmarried 20-something Chinese women is alarmingly high in some areas.
