I think China may be more on the brink than people realize. Right now there are about 30 million men in China who can't get married,not wont, can't. There simply aren't enough women in China for the men to find a bride. That's 30 million men who may be left jobless, and without a relationship. That is a recipe for disaster, maybe even a revolution

If your figure is correct that's only 2% of the population.

Unfortunately, these 30 million are "men of marriageable age" (the imbalance is due to the practice of aborting female foetuses during the "one child" policy). This would mean perhaps 15-20% of young men are doomed to bachelorhood... potentially a volatile situation!
