The economist Yew-Kwang Ng, who suggests that women should have multiple husbands to address the surplus of bachelors in China, misses the point entirely. Women in China refuse to get married because they are disillusioned in men as partners. Women are more independent financially nowadays, so there is no need for them to choose marriage if they haven’t found a man worth marrying.
