    With the history of the one child policy and Chinese culture favoring male heirs, there's going to be a lot of Chinese bachelors that can't find wives.

Prime fodder to have their frustrations directed outward by a war of expansion where they can be burned off as cannon fodder.
    A good investment would be for propaganda promoting the gay agenda in China.
    I am only partly joking here.
