They may be protectionist but their market is still 1.4 billion strong.

What does that even mean?

That is like me saying something like this: they may be 1.4 billion strong, but most me are considered unhappy and sexually frustrated by policy design.

>China has many millions more men than women, a hangover of the country's one-child policy, which was overturned in 2015, though its effects will last decades more. The gender imbalance is making it hard for many men to find a partner – and the gap is likely to widen.

>By 2020, it’s estimated there will be 30 million more men than women looking for a partner. In his book, The Demographic Future, American political economist Nicholas Eberstadt cites projections that by 2030, more than a quarter of Chinese men in their 30s will not have married.

So 2.14% (30 million / 1.4 billion) of the males are potentially sexually(?) frustrated as monogamy is not an easy option for them, how is this relevant to the discussion exactly?
