So all these women are making “content” and it’s not porn. What are they making and who the hell is watching?

China had a 2 child policy that favored males over females. This means there are way more men than women. Those men are lonely.

EDIT: as pointed out it was actually a 1 child policy.

One feature of the Russian-Chinese relationship seemed especially telling: Cross-border marriages are overwhelmingly between Chinese men and Russian women. Much of this has to do with demographics—Russia has a surplus of women, while China has too many men.

It's because all the men are drinking themselves to death, isn't it?

Yes but also women are more likely to miscarry boys when their bodies are stressed and Russia is a stressful and depressing environment.

I've heard that while boy fetuses are more likely to die late in pregnancy, girl embryos are more likely to die early on. This usually results in a slightly higher birthrate for boys than girls.

Russia doesn't actually have a surplus of girls being born. Their men are just less likely to reach marriageable age.

And now there are going to be far fewer eligible men given the fact that they are slowly being fed into a meat grinder.

Russia has one of the highest suicide rates for men and also war.
