The above 20% is probably wrong.

Just note that the citations from the CIA world factbook is probably worthless. In the official demographics of South Africa for example, neither illegal immigration or temporary migration is noted.

This is fairly high though (as much as 3 million Zimbabweans and many people form other African countries such as Somalia).

I read this in a South African newspaper. But in fairness, without a citation this is worthless.

I see posts claiming a 100,000 works in the formal sector (i.e. working for formal companies). The number of Chinese working in the informal sector or illegally would be unknown.

But the 20% figure is most probably wrong.

Whether or not they are seeking or not, they are getting it.

20% of Angola's population is Chinese.

Also note that there are countries (although without such a Chinese influence) who will have major demographic shortages. A good example is Botswana which has an HIV/AIDS prevalence rate of 38%.

Parent's in some areas can have girls that aren't subject to the one child policy (i.e. they can get another).

> Debatable. Women in the West were forced into work due to declining wages. A single income was no longer enough to support a family, and as more women went to work the other families would bid up the price of goods.

That is debatable. A bigger problem is that living standards increased significantly. To keep these living standards (two cars per household, etc...) two people must work.

You should remember that there is already a selection process going. Most women will refrain from marrying a violent person. The violent person will therefore be "unmarried" yet the high crime rate hasn't anything to do with marraige.

Men compete for women (that is one reason their economy is booming).

> How much money is enough to pay a hundred million men that there simply aren't women for?

There are millions of Chinese living overseas (esp. in Africa). They will change local demographics.
