subject: More Well Educated Chinese Women Seek Foreign Husbands [print this page] Recent years, more and more educated Chinese women choose foreigners as husbands, This year over a million Chinese women married foreigners, half of these women at least have a college degree. In 1982, China had only 14,193 international marriages, most of them Chinese women marrying white men.
Yang Ling, a matchmaking agent in Jiangsu Province, said: "In the late 1980s, many women were poor and uneducated, therefore transnational marriage was a way to change their destiny. But now many women who got hitched with foreigners are children who grew up in well-to-do families and even went to study overseas. "
Li Mandi, a matchmaking manager from Singapore also said that some people still mistakenly think that most Chinese women who want to marry foreigners are poor people, in fact, "It is quite different." Her company is one of matchmaking agencies to put together Chinese and Singaporean, currently they have over 600 female members from China, all of them are between 25 to 45 years old, "most if my Chinese women customers have higher education, do white-collar jobs, such as teacher, assistant manager, and even biomedical researcher. "
According to a survey on 3200 women conducted by a Chinese website this month, 4 / 5 of Chinese women express that if they fall in love with foreigners they are willing to marry him. Wu Yuxing, a 25-year-old Chinese with master"s degree, said: "If both have chemistry, I do not care if he is a foreigner."
Only 7% of respondents say that when they fall in love with a foreigner their first consideration is money. Others expresse more concern for each other"s personality, lifestyle and career. Some well-educated Chinese women also believe that the men from developed countries are usually more educated than Chinese men.
24-year-old Huang Minjie is from a well off family in southern China, she had studied abroad. She criticized some bad habits of Chinese men, "many Chinese men like smoking in public places, speak loudly and often jump the queue. Even those highly educated do the same things, too. I like the Europeans better , they are very polite, very gracious . "
In addition, their affection for foreign cultures (especially Western culture) also promotes some Chinese women to marry foreigners. However, many Chinese netizens show criticism on this, considering it to be a disgrace to the country, and it is a blind worship of Western culture.
