    Abstract
    Broadcast Transcript: No good deed goes unpunished but no property deed might. And for young Chinese bachelors the punishment for having no property deed is no dates. The one-child policy coupled with the Chinese preference for boys, has resulted in a generation where eligible bachelors greatly outnumber potential wives. It's estimated that by the year 2020, the number of bachelors could reach 24 million. This means that single Chinese women can afford to be choosy, and they prefer men who own homes. Seventy percent of single Chinese women say they will not marry a man who does not own his own home. Chinese dating websites won't even accept men that don't have property. Sure, good looks, a sense of humor and a good karaoke voice are important. But when it comes right down to it, home is where the heart is. #boyd #ceas #china #hacker
