Gender imbalance is really the least of the nongmin's problems. As for the urban Chinese, they won't be significantly affected by this.

After welfare people, the military, and bankers finish destroying the American economy, Chinese cities will be able to import American mail order brides by the boatload.

Isn't the solution to an overabundance of men a war or two? Use up the extended resource.

Personally I feel the world needs more giant statues. A statue taller than the new building in Dubai would be a real Wonder, and give the Chinese something to boast about.

Yeah, I just don't see China going to war. Its too much against their inclinations. But a Wonder? Possible.
