    Would help if you explained your reasoning beyond just throwing out a link with worldwide data.

      The average age of marriage in China and the gap between the male and female age of marriage is not abnormal for developed nations. It’s slightly lower than America and most of Europe, significantly higher than developing nations.

      Given the context, the statistic is not noteworthy, despite the impression the article goes to great lengths to create.

        I’m not sure what your point is. The article isn’t claiming that China’s marriage rate is abnormal as compared to other developed nations, merely that it’s reaching record lows IN CHINA. Which is a big deal for Chinese people (source: am Chinese). It makes no mention or comparison whatsoever of countries external to China.
