They have over 30 million more males than females. The Chinese may have equality, but that's a lot of sexually frustrated men that's going to contribute to unrest.
You do realize that's less than a 3% difference, right?

Actually I would think the US version would be a nice watch. The article seems to stress that it is a status indicator for business purposes.
Except that watches are kind of going out of style, with all of the electronic devices people have. Perhaps the US version would be a nice smartphone, a nice MP3 player, and nice, non-Apple earbuds.
Hence, not a status symbol.

My original point was that equality should begin from start where infanticide shouldn't be allowed in this regard.
My cousin recently visited home from China, and brought his designer purse along with him. I was kind of amused.
Was it really a purse, or more along the lines of a soft briefcase or messenger bag? I ask because the image in the article showed what looked to me like a soft briefcase with a long shoulder strap. Incidentally, here is a random link demonstrating that Indiana Jones carried a purse: http://thesatchelpages.com/keeping-up-with-the-jones-bags/

Bottom line, it's still 30 million guys not getting laid (or married, at least). I think this is an instance where the raw number is important.
It's not a purse! It's a European men's carry-all. Regarding the "7% of men in the U.S.", I wonder how many of that sample bought them as gifts for women? I mean, I've stepped into Coach once to buy a wristlet, but it was because my sister had it on her wish list as a gift. Then again, Coach does make men's accessories. I have a belt from coach, which my sister gave me as a gift. To be entirely honest, it's held up f…

Very true point, China has a good record of gender equality. Much better then it's neighbors and also the West.
I would dispute this - China did not permit women to own land until 1950. Furthermore, laws against domestic violence weren't enshrined until 2001. China certainly has been liberalizing its gender laws at a faster clip than the west, which took the Women's Suffrage Movement several centuries.... but it's never been ahead of the curve.
