Hannah Beech, a Time magazine journalist, has reported that China is now experiencing severe gender imbalance due to its one-child policy. She reports that many Chinese families selectively abort female unborn children, meaning there will possibly be as many as 24 million single men by 2020. Beech says this is likely to cause a major rise in criminal gangs and trafficking of women. [Time, 12 July] http://bit.ly/bKZEz9
