專家提議大量引進外國女性來解決光棍危機

About 30 million men in China can't find wives in China due to the country's gender imbalance issue. That's nearly half of the population of Britain.

由於男女性別比例失衡問題，中國將有約3000萬男性找不到老婆，這一數字差不多是英國人口的一半。

And a renowned scholar seemed to have found a shortcut to deal with the looming 'bachelor crisis': foreign women.

而中國一位著名學者似乎找到了一條解決即將到來“光棍危機”的捷徑：外國女性。

Mao Shoulong, a dean from the Renmin University, wrote in a newspaper column that more female immigrants should be encouraged to live and work in China, so that they would perhaps marry Chinese 'leftover men'.

中國人民大學一名名叫毛壽龍的院長最近在一篇新聞專欄文章中表示，應該鼓勵更多的外國女性移民到中國來工作和生活，如此一來她們就可能會嫁給中國的“剩男”。

He wrote: 'It could be an advisable tactic to aptly improve the reformation of the immigration policy and let more foreign women to come to live and work in China so as to relieve the "bachelor crisis".'

他寫道：“適當改革移民政策、讓更多外國女性來華生活和工作從而緩解'光棍危機'是一個明智的策略。”

The article was published today on The Beijing News, a publication affiliated to the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee of Beijing.

這篇文章被刊載在《新京報》上，該報紙是北京市市委宣傳部的一份刊物。

Mao claimed in the article that the recently launched two-child policy will not fully resolve the gender gap issue.

毛壽龍在文章中表示，近期推出的二孩政策不會完全解決性別差距的問題。

To conclude his column, the man pitched some possible methods the government could use to deal with the 'bachelor crisis', such as to encourage more companies to offer marital service and to reduce marital cost.

在文章結尾處，毛壽龍提出了一些政府可以用來應對“光棍危機”的可行辦法，例如鼓勵更多企業提供婚姻服務、降低婚姻成本等。
