I love how the woman being interviewed laughs at the fact that both men and women in China "believe" that a woman unmarried at 27 is a leftover. Laugh all you want honey, it's true there, and it's true here.
Women in China seem to be much smarter about marriage than women here in the U.S., given that 80% of Chinese women lock down a man by age 25. I don't have the data, but I'd bet that there is also a larger age difference between the spouses in China. That alone leads to a more stable marriage. About a 10-year difference seems ideal, so that SMV values track more equitably over time.
Also, who is the target market for this "Business Insider"? The combination of relentless uptalk and idiotic graphics putting up a key phrase every few seconds in the left half of the screen makes this seem like something targeted to 5-year-olds. Ugh.
