Why is this important to know about? Liberalization is changing the conditions for sexual selection, a primary evolutionary input. This is taking place not only in China but also in some other traditional societies, although it is resisted in others. From the standpoint of evolutionary theory and group selection, it is a big deal. Arguably, one factor in America's success has been "the melting pot," and the looser ground rules for sexual selection are key.

This is just one of the many evolutionary effects of liberalization going global. History has a liberal bias, and it has been given a big push.
This bias toward freer choice affects social, political and economic development hugely. For example, it is has direct bearing on collective consciousness in addition to individual consciousness as the group mindset shifts, which gets reflected in culture and institutions like marriage. As a result the change become culturally heritable through memes rather than genes.
