改革开放初期，一位日本女子在访问中国后非常震惊。她说中国女子好厉害！中国女子社会地位高，中国是真正的男女平等。我记得她举的一个例子：在中国某市街头一辆公交车和迎面的车辆有摩擦。开公交车的女司机跳下车当街和另一辆车的男司机吵架。这位日本女子说在日本没有女性开公交车，在日本女子从来不敢对男人大声讲话、更别提跟男人吵架了。

Why China Has So Many Female Billionaires

Dong Mingzhu: The Face of Female Enterprise
Dong Mingzhu is the most visible face of female enterprise in China. The 64-year-old boss of Gree, the world’s biggest maker of air-conditioners, is everywhere: in television ads, on billboards, and, on one occasion in 2018, in two places at once—at Gree’s headquarters in Zhuhai, while also jaywalking in the city of Ningbo (police cameras were mistakenly triggered by an image of her face in an advertisement plastered on a passing bus). Ms. Dong joined Gree as a door-to-door saleswoman in 1990. In 2012, she became its chairwoman. Her life was the subject of a TV drama, and she has written two popular memoirs. Her steely, unglamorous image (a confessed penchant for skirts notwithstanding) inspires young women. Matters of gender bore her. Asked about her rise in a country run by men, she responds: “Men or women, few are up to the challenge.”

A Generation of High-Achieving Chinese Women
That may be so. But Ms. Dong represents a generation of Chinese women who have climbed higher than their sisters in South Korea or Japan. Fully 51 of the 89 self-made female billionaires on the 2019 Hurun Rich List, a Who’s Who of the ultra-wealthy, were Chinese—well above China’s 20% share of the world’s women. Relative to population (one for every 13.4 million Chinese females), that was not far off America’s tally of 18 (one for every 9.1 million). China’s dozens of female billionaires include Wu Yajun, a property mogul with a $10 billion fortune; Cheng Xue of Foshan Haitian Flavouring & Food Company, known as “the soy-sauce queen”; and Li Haiyan and Shu Ping, co-founders of Haidilao, a chain of hotpot restaurants. Ms. Dong may be more famous, but with a net worth of a mere 3 billion yuan ($440 million), she did not make Hurun’s list.

Why Have China’s Women Excelled?
Why have China’s women done so well? If socialist egalitarianism—which encouraged, even required, women to work—were the whole story, you would expect many women in the upper echelons of the Communist Party. In fact, just one sits on the 25-member Politburo, and none has ever joined the inner sanctum of the Standing Committee. A likelier explanation is China’s manufacturing boom, which gave women unprecedented opportunities. In 1968, Mao Zedong enjoined female laborers to hold up “half the sky”; by the 1980s, their labor-force participation hovered around 80%. Britain’s then stood at 60%, and America’s lower still. India, with a similar GDP per person to China at the time, barely managed 30%. Many successful Chinese businesswomen rose from the factory floor. In 2015, Zhou Qunfei, an erstwhile migrant worker who went on to found Lens Technology, a maker of screens for Apple, took the title of the world’s wealthiest self-made woman. Women make up 56% of Chinese graduates, even though only 87 girls are born for every 100 boys (the world’s most unbalanced sex ratio). According to the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, an index of startup activity, for every ten men starting a business in China, eight women do the same.

Challenges to Continued Progress
All that ought to guarantee a steady supply of talent to follow in Ms. Dong’s footsteps. But it may be stymied by a general slowdown in the pace of female progress. Between 2010 and 2018, China dropped from 61st (among 134 countries) to 103rd (out of 149) in the World Economic Forum’s Gender Gap Report. Normally, economic disparities between the sexes narrow as countries grow richer. China’s have widened, as women have moved into lower-paying service jobs or left the workforce. Relative to that of men, female participation has been flat or fallen every year since 2009, to 69%, similar to Japan and below Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. Female wages, which were 17% below male wages in the early 1990s, are now 36% lower. Women also face discrimination in China’s fast-growing and male-dominated tech industry. Hurun’s list of 46 self-made billionaires under the age of 40 includes 16 Chinese founders. Only two of them—both wives in couples who launched internet platforms—are women.
