Age 27 the ‘leftover’ age in China for women. High quality leftover women can only find rural bachelors (and would have to live in countryside), not the high quality older bachelors they seek. One rural woman who got a docterate as a medical doctor found men didn't approach her because they felt they were not worthy. She also doesn't want to marry a vulgar person in the country or stay there.
30m more men than women in China. But about 1m leftover women. China's economy now declining, employment reportedly more difficult. Many Chinese study for masters and some an envied doctorate (which would put you at age 28, missing the ‘best time to get married’ for women).
High concentration of leftover women in the big cities. Possibly, (university educated) men are forced to leave big cities by age 30 because of the high housing costs, after struggling for 5 or 10 years, and he returns to their hometown and their parents prepare a base for him. Women, however, don't leave the city because if they did their situation would become worse, especially if a poor family, because matchmakers will only introduce her to low quality matches. In the country the degree is often worthless.
Career comes first and relationship second for many people. Work leaves them too tired to put effort into another person.
Some women seek a perfect marriage.
For example, although the ask ‘isn’t too much', an educated woman, age 35 (who graduated 5 years earlier), who makes $1400 per month, has a house and car, 168cm in height, seeks a man with at least a bachelors, who makes at least $1400, who has a house and car, and is 175cm. There aren't many available. Such a man would probably look for a girl in her 20s ‘who has no problem with childbearing.’
Men like girls who don't spend a lot of money, but many girls like to spend a lot and have many material things.

Men are also looking for things (physical, thrift) that are difficult for them to find.
Some stop thinking about getting married, and instead can devote themselves to their career which can have a better return possibly.
At dating meetups the ratio is reportedly 9:1 women to men, but anyway there are many women for each man.
