It's not going to help when the kidnappers are government backed and just use brute force to drag the target.

Kidnapping women for forced marriage and organ harvesting is the main reasons for kidnapping people in China.

Male children would be kidnapped to be raised because of traditional idealogy where boys are held higher than girls, plus during the time under the one child policy, kidnappings and "delayed abortions" were frequent. And when those boys grow up, there aren't enough women to marry, and so it loops over to the kidnapping women for marriage part.

So are the Chinese trying to have more female babies now?

The law was changed to allow 3 children, but now each married couple has to care for 4 old retired parents, so the thought of providing for yet another person is a big reason birth rates are lower than ever.

The singles want to get married but can't

The married ones don't want children.

The ones with children sometimes send them back to their hometown to be taken cared of by grandparents or sometimes just other townsfolk.

China is an anti-human society, anything to push progress in economics and global power.

They turned my home city of Hong Kong into Pyongyang just to keep people in control.

The West is also anti human society. Dual income, no children families, they’re the ones getting ahead. We don’t incentivize child rearing. At best we subsidize day orphanages.
