What would you do with 23 million bachelors?

Bachelor generation 'threatens China's stability'

China will have more than 23 million men unable to find wives by 2020 because so many more boys are being born than girls, according to a study.

The widespread practice of aborting female foetuses is being blamed for creating a generation of bachelors who will pose increasing social problems, it says.

So, what is the Chinese government going to do with 23 million "bare branches"? How will it deal with 23 million men who don't have families and never will? Hmmmm.... War might be a good option. With that much cannon fodder it should be easy to conquer the world - and have all that sweet delicious oil all to yourselves.
