Was really confused by “singledom” for a second there. Wondering if it was suddenly popular to self-spank or whatever.
Huh I wonder what those numbers mean, I need more context, articles claiming China is declining is a red flag, given that I’ve seen them for the last 20 years and they’ve been wrong every time.

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.

Which is a big deal for Chinese people (source: am Chinese). It makes no mention or comparison whatsoever of countries external to China.
