Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

I don't think it's a matter of being spoiled, though you bring up an interesting idea.  But picking up on the issues surrounding the One-Child Policy, I do think you're going to make millions upon millions of young men in China who are eventually going to have trouble finding work, and who are, yes, sexually frustrated.

The One-Child Policy has produced a generation of boys, because male children are seen as an insurance policy for Mom and Dad in China.

Here's an idea, though, from an economist's perspective:  The One-Child Policy provided an incentive for parents to have male children and avoid female children.  But with a massive surplus of males, and no females to wed them to (and you know how we men need wives and girlfriends to discipline our lazy asses -- I'm guilty as charged), might this raise the value of women and help bring the society back into equilibrium?

Be nice to America. Or we'll bring democracy to your country.
