CHINA’s one child policy may have created a massive gender imbalance with millions more men than women in the country, but one city is bucking the trend with so many women living there that most men have two or three girlfriends.

The bizarre twist in the Chinese shortage of women story centres around the populous city of Dongguan, in south China’s Guangdong Province, known for producing popular electronics such as iPhones and iPads.

But local manufacturers running assembly plants prefer not to use men as they find them unreliable and instead offer work mainly to women.

It’s meant the city has far more women than men, and the men who are there tend to have only odd jobs and casual work, leaving them with plenty of time on their hands.

And that means time for more than one girlfriend, with some admitting they have two or three permanent girlfriends at the same time.

One man told local TV: “It is a lot easier here to find a girlfriend than a job.”

The disproportionate number of women has recently led to Dongguan being branded the capital of sex with many women still willingly and knowingly involving themselves in relationships with men who already have other partners.

Li Bin, a migrant factory worker from south-western Sichuan Province, said: “I have three girlfriends, and all of them know about each other. Many of my friends also have many girlfriends.”

He added: “There are so many young and naive female workers in the city.

Why not have more than one if we can? Look, everyone is here to have fun; if you don’t do it, others will.”
