Chinese Parents Really Prefer Sons

(Via QandO: "China will have 30 million more men of marriageable age than women by 2020, making it difficult for them to find wives, according to a national report" and "It found that around 118 boys were born to every 100 girls in 2005")

Chinese parents not only decide to have 118 boys for every 100 girls but they do this knowing that sons will be at a significant marriage market disadvantage compared to daughters.
