Young Chinese women are being encouraged to lower their sights in marriage and settle for a “more or less OK” partner rather than holding out for a soulmate
People are quick to point out that China is the most densely populated country in the world. However, many fail to realise that due to a low birth rate, the Chinese population is a rapidly ageing population.
The government is not unaware that the low birth rate is a potential source of instability and is doing all it can to encourage marriage.
State media is in the forefront of encouraging marriage. An editorial in the regional party-run newspaper Sichuan Daily said,
“Marriage is a process of tolerating each other, and it’s impossible that everything goes your way
“Change your attitude, return to the reality. Maybe there’ll be some imperfection, but your life will be full for it.”
