The author seems highly paranoid, but he does make some good points. Its definitely been proven that a nation with too many males can lead to a volatile geopolitical situation. Africa has proved this several times over. China owns trillions of dollars in US debt and with 32 million additional males the future military potential of the country increases significantly. As a Canadian I have wondered whether in a Sino-America war which side we'd be on. No doubt it would eventually escalate into a world war situation if it were to occur. The middle east and any country with communist leanings would of course side with China, but Canada has positive relations with both china and the US. As Global economics become increasingly volatile and nations begin to focus more on resource grabbing I think the possibility of WWIII becomes more and more real. In 15 years I'm sure the headlines will be topped with openers regarding tense relations with china as well as with fear about scarcity of water and other natural resources.
LOL, lots of supposition in what is essentially a scaremongering article with little chance of its predictions ever transpiring. The PRC is a government that strictly controls its public, hence, having roving bands of AK armed youths running around like they do in Africa is not even remotely a possibility. Heck, even Falun Gong, can't perform exercises without being bludgeoned into submission. The idea of 32 million males in the military? LOL... Read that as 96 million meals a day, x 365 a year. Would they even have money left to buy uniforms, much less guns and bullets for all of them? (The current total uniformed services in the PRC is about 6 million, inclusive of standing military, reserves, militia, and armed police). Frankly, if the PRC wanted to, they could mandate girls (by more female births), just like they mandated the one child policy, as they have no political freedoms in China. But they won't, simply because having less men marrying women means less babies (ie mouths to feed). In order to quell social unrest of having too many unmarried men with no women, the PRC will (I predict) decriminalize prostitution, make it easy and encourage single men of no, or little skills to leave the country, and or transfer as many of them into politically restless areas as possible. I foresee the PRC mandating Tibetan or Uighur women to marry Han men, both to satisfy the social need of single Chinese men along with the eventual subsuming of those societies, making them more Chinese in culture and alliance. As for taxing US debt as an impetus to go to war? Hogwash, just unload the debt to someone else; that's what the stock market is for and it's a lot easier, cleaner, and you don't have to pay soldiers. Yes, the dots are there; but the author is connecting them every which way. Such a haphazard conclusion makes little real sense at best, but at worst may confuse readers who are genuinely concerned about the direction of world events. Frankly, I found it to be a waste of time and suspect that the author is broaching areas clearly afield of his expertise.
