My comment: This is an old issue. There is no need to read it.

Quote:

"China, already short of women, provides from 32 per cent to 70 per cent of the foreign brides for the three main importing countries, South Korea, Taiwan and Japan.

Soohyung Lee, an economics professor of University of Maryland "found that in 1991 fewer than one per cent of brides in South Korea came from foreign countries, but in 2007 that percentage had risen to eight. Over roughly the same period in Japan the percentage of foreign brides rose from two to five. In Taiwan, the number of foreign brides is 22 per cent and in Hong Kong it is 39 per cent, up from two per cent in 1991. In both those cases the foreign brides are almost exclusively from China
