She said no: marriages in China plummet to record low

Or the democracy protests, pre-covid

All that and you can't provide a single example of weight? That's literally all I asked for.

How does being married or not change that? Say I beat my wife and she runs away. She can get a police escort to get some of her things. I've been on the escorted end of that scenario. (Obviously they won't wait for a moving service.)
no legal claim to your belongings
So you're saying the law considers everything in a home the property of the person remaining, if they're married? You should meet some people going through a divorce. It ain't like that.
Of course it should be easy to divorce. My first two words: "It's wrong..."

Experts warn this decline could accelerate China’s demographic and economic challenges.
I'll say it again. The labor market is a market.
Lower supply ==> higher price.
In the context of the labor market: Fewer workers ==> higher wages. That is good for the workers.
-
It would be good to back that up with actual arguments.

Old people is where that gets messy. But it's absolutely true

Old people is where that gets messy
... as long as you assume that retirement has to be paid for by the worker's taxes.
Rich taxes would solve the problem well enough, i think.
-
So so. It still takes a worker out of the market for their care. Which from above is established to be at a premium.

I thought overpopulation was pretty well known by know. American education system?
-
There was this experiment with a rat city that showed behavioral changes in large populations. Coupled with lack of child and aged care in China, completely unsurprising that this would happen.
Additionally, when you have digital boyfriends like Love and Deepspace, who can blame the ladies for wanting something low effort and convenient?
-
Maybe people should look into human trafficking into "bride" by Chinese with unfortunate women from neighbouring countries.
Even after giving birth to male child, some women are sold to next man in line. Quite a fuckery ignored by CCP.
-
It's not overpopulation that is the problem, it's overconsumption of natural resources. Population will not grow indefinitely, see the notion of demographic transition. It would possible to live sustainably with the estimated population peak if we respect consumptions quotas such as the 2 tones of CO2 per year per capita. Most developed country people are far above this though.

The men are also very picky. Women outnumber men, but they are also looking for a certain age, body type, and background. People are even buying/kidnapping little girls to raise as brides for their sons so they can mold them versus just finding a bride. Half of the time, they don't want the women available. They're too old, too fat, too ugly, divorced, have kids, outspoken, and all the other things that they've been conditioned to dislike. Also, a lot of women have rough married lives over there.
Women also belong to the groom's family in a way. If you "only" have a daughter, you really have one shot (and a clicking clock) for both you and her to pick the "best" family. Society has made it to where a woman is expected to serve her household and handle whatever they throw at her, but then punish them for wanting to pick the cage they're locking themselves into. Like, yeah, if it's super hard to get divorced, let alone marry again, and the man/family I'm marrying has a lot of power over me, and I'll be under the households thumb, I'm going to at least make sure I'm take care of. If their society was more equal, I think they'd be able to marry more for love/desire/want than security. But women over there don't get a lot of agency so they take it where they can.
Bith sides are saying "fuck it." Men don't want to be wage slaves and women don't want to be indentured bang maids.

Your post would be more valuable if you did not directly insult them at the end. Im not sure why you made that choice.
-
Malthusian economics were debunked centuries ago. IDK what educational system you came out of but you shouldn't be insulting others if you are this far behind.
-
Good, weddings are a stupid human invention.
-
Women outnumber men
Wait, did the topic of the conversation change? China absolutely does not have more women than men.

Historical example of: fewer workers -> better conditions. https://historycollection.com/4-reasons-black-death-wasnt-bad/

Lord, you're right. Thanks for the fact check.
