    China in the report:

    China ranks 107th and has achieved 67.8% gender parity. Compared to the previous edition, this represents an 0.4 percentage-point decline in score and a decline of five positions in rank. China is at 93.5% parity on Educational Attainment, with full parity on tertiary education. On Economic Participation and Opportunity, China has closed 72.7% of the gender gap and attains 81.5% parity in labour-force participation rate. It also secures 11.4% parity on Political Empowerment, with 4.2% women ministers and 24.9% women parliamentarians. China continues to have one of the lowest sex ratios at birth (89%), affecting parity Global Gender Gap Report 2023 28 levels on the Health and Survival subindex (93.7%, 145th).

    I raise this not to dunk on China but because China and India represent such extremely large populations that if a real drive were to occur in either of them it would overwhelmingly affect this "131 years until parity" figure.
