> There is way less women than men because the Government let people basically kill girls with selective abortion or after being born.

To put in in to perspective, there are 1.06 males per female in China [0] which though high, isn't materially different to other large developing countries such as India and Pakistan.

Your link does not seems to work for me, but after a small Wikipedia research : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_sex_ratio

On another note, the ratio for Arabic countries in the peninsula are quite fucked up. If you see the TV show "Generation Kill" from HBO, the character played by James Ranson has a theory, which is quite interesting watching the numbers : there would not be a single war if there was enough women in the Arabic Peninsula.

Those numbers get a lot worse when you look at sex ratio among children under 5. I've seen estimates as high as 1.25, with some provinces above 1.3.

Anything above 1.07 at birth is proof of selectively aborting girls.
