TJ, the male:female ratio in China should be as easy to determine as me determining the ratio of right:left hand cellphone holders.

In various cities it ranges from about 64% to about 75%. Auckland is quite highly right-handed. Melbourne is at about 64% [I would have to get my notebook to get the precise number]. I'm a leftie, [note, that does NOT mean left-handed] so I assume that means I'm more attuned to life in Melbourne than Auckland. I can see that might be the case after a recent visit there.

The male:female ratio is merely a fact. I don't see why you think it's not a fact worth knowing. It seems you are fearful of the conclusions that would be drawn. Facts are just the current manifestation of nature TJ. Totally neutral mere arrangements of the four forces of the apocalypse. What matters is what one does as a result of knowing facts.

You seeing a lot of girls around might be simply a matter of you noticing them. When people like something or are otherwise attuned to them, they notice them and will not even be aware of the things to which they are not attuned.

When our our daughter and spouse bought a Jeep Cherokee, I didn't know they even existed. After they got it, there seemed to be swarms of them everywhere. But they were not new vehicles, so I suppose they had been sneaking around the streets hiding from me.

Perhaps with your obsession about panty-sniffing people you are constantly on alert, keeping an eye on girls to make sure nobody is around who might be sniffing the air. As a result of your focus on females, which you have separately alluded to on many occasions without the sniffing aspect, you might simply not notice those blokes roaming around who are not worth noticing.

I used to be able to spot an oil drum in dense bush at 100 metres. Now I am barely aware of them and don't search for them. But I can spot a cellphone antenna from kilometres away.

Since you think the fact is not worth knowing about, I think I'll believe the official government and other data than your biased anecdotal observations. I expect they have made some attempts to get the data. From other things I know about China and Chinese, it seems more than a reasonable proposition that there are about 19% more males than females.
