China, with about 1.4 billion people (including Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan) as of May 2011, is the most populous nation in the world. According to the census of 2010, the ratio of men to women is about 51.27% to 48.73% female. The surplus of men is troublesome since there are not enough candidates as potential husbands for potential wives. About 50% of the population lives in the urban cities and towns whereas the rest of the population is in rural areas.
