1. Gender/sexuality power relationship
Gender refers to a wide range of norms and expectations connected to how girls, boys, men and women behave. On the other hand, sex refers to the physiological and biological features that distinguish women from men. China is one of the developed nations in the world that is experiencing a significant gender imbalance. The population of the male is 52 million more than that of women. It is because men are more preferred in China than females.[Entwisle, Barbara, and Gail Henderson. 2000. Re-drawing boundaries: work, households, and gender in China.

Son preference in modern China
One of the major contributors towards this problem is the rigid Chinese culture that gives more choice to males than females. It is evident from the ancestral worship that is strictly carried out by men. Parents also prefer having male children to care for them at old age. It is because women will be married to other families where they will care for their husband's parents instead of their parents. The one-child policy of 1970 prohibited people living in urban centers from having more than one kid; as a result, many individuals giving birth to boys. Parents also prefer having male children for prestige. It is because having a boy child in more prestigious than having a girl child in China&. Additionally, people preferred boys more than girls because they had a chance of securing better jobs after completing their studies. The situation is contrary to the females who prefer starting a family at an early stage instead of completing their studies. Gender bias and discrimination against women is high in China thus influencing people to favor boys over girls. It is essential to research on the topic to understand the history of China and its population trends.[Hong Fincher, Leta. 2016.
