When I read this article, "Chaina faces growing gender imbalance", I can think about my country, Korea. easily because of similarity. The article reported that "more than 24 million chinese men of marring age could find themselves without spouses by 2020. The reason of this is the favour of male kid, a traditional concept. Chinese can have only one child according to thier law, so many parents prefer having a boy than a girl.
Many Koreans have similar thought as chinese'. Nowadays, although lots of things are changed, koreans still keep their preference of male kids. In reality, many males in marring age can't get thier spouses. Some have to visit other country lto get their bride, but in Korea, there are many social problem which are contributed to this; cultural conflict and misunderstanding between spouses, domestic violence, divorce, etc. Because they don't have time to take a good careful look each other. This gender imbalance will be kept, if the preference of boys are not abandoned.
