  • Boiling an issue like this down to “China Bad” is a brainless understanding of the issues.

    The same thing happened (and still does happen) in America with the “Mail-Order Bride” services.

    As an economy advances and provides greater opportunities for women, many of them will choose education and careers over marriage and motherhood. But, for better or worse, men still want wives. This gender imbalance (exacerbated in China’s case by the now-revoked One-Child Policy’s unintentional demographic consequences).

    Most of these women aren’t being “kidnapped”. They are women who knowingly travel to China because they believe the opposite of what you claim - that China is an opportunity for a better life than what they live with in Burma or Thailand or the Philippines. But this hope is taken advantage of by human traffickers and desperate men and they end up living not a free and equal life but one of domestic servitude.
