This map shows the sex ratio at birth:

When you hover over each country it will give the figure. The average for most countries is about 5% more boys are born than girls. Kazakhstan is the only exception. There are 6% more girls than boys for some reason. I'd love to know what's going on there to buck the trend. Are male babies aborted?
India and China have 12% more male births than females. I truly feel sorry for guys there. This is going to cause incredible misery in these countries. Whoever engineered that should be crucified. That must be soul crushing. To not only live in that kind of poverty but know that the chances are you will never have a woman no matter what you do because there are none available.
I don't think anything can be done about higher male birth rates since evolution worked it out that way. If the premature death rate of men ceases to be higher than it is for women, then maybe over tens of thousands of years our DNA will correct that and the ratio at birth will be 1:1. Either that or it'll take another major world war to thin out the male population.
But when you account for the fact that, in the UK and US at least, 50% of the women in the 20-35 are fat and thus undatable, the ratios in China are actually more favourable to a guy, especially a guy coming from the West, since the obesity rate is much, much lower in China. So, even with 120 women per men, it's still a more benign dating market for guys than in the UK. For example, when I put up an online dating profile on a Chinese dating website, I got far more interest from slim, good-looking women with decent careers than I could have ever imagined. In the UK even the obese girls on POF and OKC have more options than the average-looking guy and will behave accordingly.
