>> The current immigration statistic for the USA indicates that 25% of the new immigrants are from Asia. Then we could announce ‘Problem Solved’; except that the major boom hasn’t matured to manhood yet.

Which means China still has time to fix this on its own by implementing more girl-friendly policies, especially since men tend to marry younger women.

>> This trend is continuing in other countries and regions of the world.

Where are you getting your information from?

>> I find your idea of simply sending hundreds of millions of men to Europe and the USA to find wives, fundamentally flawed.

My point was that this is a man-made problem and it shall have a man-made solution. Whatever the situation, the imbalance cannot possibly compare to that of post WWII Europe. I just don't see it being the big alarm bell you do.

Now if it was a genuine shift in our genes or something with long and slow fixing process, like the global warming, then I'd be concerned.

Another thing to consider:

If the imbalance becomes as pronounced as you are thinking, then women in China (and presumably other countries you are concerned with) will have great influence. This may very well moderate the traditional male-oriented structure of those societies and I don't see this as a bad thing.
