It's basic biology among all animal species capable of controlling access to resources and requiring heavy parental investment that females choose partners almost as soon as they are able to produce offspring to get access to the highest value males where males generally have to wait till they have secured access to vast resources before they can secure a mate. This is why, male elephants typically have their first offspring at 50 years old where females are closer to 15 years. Women holding out till the end of their childbearing years to get the highest value mate fail to understand the basic biology driving mate selection among species like their own. It is much better to find a man while you are young who seems relatively competent and driven than to hold out for the perfect sugar daddy. This is particularly true in eastern countries where having a male offspring to carry on the family name is still of paramount importance. Rich guys aren't gonna gamble on an older woman giving him an heir on the first and possibly only try. The CCP's real fear isn't unmarried women, it's the unmarried men who are their inevitable counterparts. In lions, horses, and many other species, low resource single males have nothing to do but to rove in groups trying to get stronger to overthrow the existing order and the males who control the resources and thus the most desirable females. In humans, these people would be the men who lash out against the government and seek radical reforms that married men would be disinterested in. China fears leftover women because the leftover men have nothing to lose risking their lives against the CCP.
