[ExI] China's upcoming major problem depicted in a SF novel

[John Grigg]

As we already know, there is going to be a major challenge for mainland
China when a skewed male/female child demographic results in many young
adult males not having potential female mates.  I see this causing the world
mafias to view the situation as a great opportunity for female human slavery
and smuggling.  The Chinese government will pass laws not allowing parents
to use medical technology (or abortion) to determine the sex of their
child.  And at the bio-tech level, I could see China pouring resources into
artificial womb technology so they can be absolutely be sure there will be
enough females.

I came across a SF novel on lulu.com (self-published books, so be warned!)
titled "The China Clones."  It is an over the top thriller about a Chinese
general who has a beautiful Eurasian model kidnapped for his cloning lab.
