Preamble:
Take Chengdu as an example, the ratio of men and women left in 2023 is 100 to 165.6, according to statistics, there are currently more than one million leftover men in Chengdu.
Why can't these men over the age of 30 find a partner? As a result of a combination of various factors, the reasons why older urban men are not married are more complex, including personality, income, and the vision of girls.
However, for older boys in rural areas, the economic aspect is still a major factor, especially the phenomenon of high bride price.

In view of the large proportion of rural older surplus men, Associate Professor Ding of Economics at Xiamen University suggested that it is hoped that the relevant state departments will lower the threshold, introduce transnational marriages, let the older rural leftover men go out and bring in, and let foreign women of appropriate age enter the country and marry men of appropriate age.
In this way, the high bride price and vulgarity in some parts of the country will be curbed to a considerable extent.
But this proposal has also been opposed by some female netizens.
Doesn't taking hundreds of thousands of dollars in fees the same as buying and selling people?
But some male netizens said that the hundreds of thousands of high dowries in China are not also buying and selling people?
Actually, Associate Professor Ding proposed before. For example, there are marriages with Russia, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, especially Vietnam and other countries, as well as women from some African countries who come to China to get married.
Of course, there must be some problems in this, such as different customs, cultural differences, language barriers, and even three views in transnational marriage.
But if you really want to live together, problems like language will be overcome.
The purpose of Associate Professor Ding's suggestion is that some relevant units such as the civil affairs department and the neighborhood office should provide some convenience in the formalities of transnational marriage, such as work, employment, children's schooling, etc.
I believe that this move can really be implemented. For the decline in the birth rate of our current population, including the phenomenon of high bride price, it will be effectively improved.
Netizens commented:
1. In fact, before Associate Professor Ding's proposal, a considerable part of the mainland was already taking the road of transnational marriage!
2. The existing problem is that it is difficult to settle down after giving birth to a child, cannot be employed, cannot apply for an ID card, etc.! This is a big obstacle, that is, the threshold that Associate Professor Ding suggested should be lowered!
3. As for the divorce rate that you are worried about after getting married, some netizens see it this way:
4. Some netizens can't wait!
5. Some netizens believe that the key is to solve the employment problem first!
6. Some netizens agree and are optimistic about the introduction.
Write at the end:
Judging from the current situation of the declining birth rate in China and the rapid aging of society, Associate Professor Ding's suggestion is relatively good and timely.
Since the effect of suppressing the phenomenon of high bride price for a while is not easy to see in the short term, it is necessary to improve and maintain the phenomenon of transnational marriage that has already begun, so that it can develop more healthily.
It's just that I don't know if this future will be opposed by feminists?
I don't know what everyone thinks about this?
