China’s Marriage Crisis: Foreign Women Compete for Chinese Husbands, Leaving Single Women Panicked

中国的婚恋危机：外国女性争抢中国丈夫，本国单身女性陷入焦虑

China’s marriage market is facing a surprising new trend as more foreign women enter the search for Chinese husbands. From Russia and Belarus to Japan, South Korea, and other countries, many are looking for serious relationships and a chance to build a life in China.

At the same time, older single women in China are facing an increasingly competitive matchmaking market. High bride prices, housing costs, and growing expectations surrounding marriage are putting more pressure on young people and changing the way they view marriage.

中国婚恋市场出现了一个出人意料的新趋势：越来越多外国女性希望寻找中国丈夫。许多来自俄罗斯、白俄罗斯、日本、韩国等国家的女性，想要寻找稳定的伴侣，争取在中国安家生活。

与此同时，中国大龄单身女性在相亲市场面临的竞争愈发激烈。结婚要付高昂的彩礼，要买昂贵的房子，再加上人们对婚姻越来越高的期待，给年轻人带来更大压力，也改变了大家对婚姻的看法。

以下是各国网友的评论：

This is interesting. Personally, if I can, I would rather go to a real matchmaking area like these for serious relationships where we actually see each other and talk openly about our marriage/future together with honesty, love, passion. loyalty, respect and integrity rather than playing cat and mouse. No matter how nice you are, online dating sites are just full of scammers and liars that never want to meet up. For online dating, your gift cards or money gram are most likely not value sincerely and the relationship is not going to go anywhere if either of you only hides and never wants to meet up. I feel really happy for these couples. May you all live long life and always be happy with each others. Wish there’s a marriage market in USA too. Please let me know if there’s a marriage market in USA. Go China

有意思。就我自己而言，如果有机会，我更愿意去这种线下相亲场所找对象。大家能够当面相见，坦诚地聊婚姻、聊未来，彼此真诚、有爱、有热忱、守忠诚、互相尊重、守信用，而不是互相试探、捉迷藏。线上交友平台再好，也是骗人的，他们根本不愿线下见面。网上谈恋爱，你送出礼品卡、汇款，大多换不来真心。只要一方一直躲着不肯见面，这段关系就不会有结果。真心祝福这些情侣，愿你们长久相伴、幸福美满。真希望美国也有这种相亲角，如果有的话麻烦告诉我。加油，中国！

这种婚恋竞争早就该出现了。

good to show the wise ones understand future potential instead of wasting so much material wealth for surface level exchanges.

看得出来，聪明人更看重未来的发展潜力，而不是为了表面的往来耗费大量物质财富，这点很好。

So China's too many males compared to females is not a problem anymore .

这么说，中国男多女少的问题就不再是难题了。

 

dongshengdi773
Not true. They don't even want to date me.
You can add them in WeChat, TikTok etc while they're live streaming. None of them want to date Chinese men unless you're super rich and super handsome.

不是这样的。她们（外国女性）根本不愿意和我约会。你可以在她们直播的时候，通过微信、抖音之类的软件加好友。除非你特别有钱、长得很帅，否则她们不会愿意和中国男人交往。

China's living standards are increasing while the countries where these ladies come from are decreasing, at war or unsafe. One way of staying in China is through marriage.

中国生活水平不断提高，而这些女性的母国生活水平在下降，有的还处在战乱中，缺乏安全感。结婚是留在中国的一种途径。

 

dongshengdi773
BS. China has already collapsed.
Not sure what Toxc Kool aid you have drunk

胡说八道。中国早就不行了。不知道你被什么媒体洗脑了。

Que un chino pueda darle casa a los padres de la chica de la esposa, por la guerra en ukrania, es algo que no puedo competir, que loas mejores mujeres se queden con los mejores hombres, solo me queda aplaudir nomas, yo aunque quisiese no podria hacerlo, bueno me alegro que los que si valen la pena puedan hacerlo

乌克兰在打仗，中国男人能给女方父母提供住房，这点我比不了。优秀的女性选择优秀的男性，我只能送上祝福。就算我想这么做，我也做不到。不过我替那些有能力做到的人感到高兴。

Gradual Migration is happening from the Western part to the Eastern part, just like what happened back centuries ago when eastern people migrated to the western countries when the Wests are more developed, advanced, more stable livelihoods and better living conditions. That advantages are now gradually shifting to the Eastern part of the world with many EU nations getting unstable due to huge migrants, personal safety issues, economic issues and livelihood affordability issues

人口正在从西方慢慢流向东方，和几百年前很像。那时候西方更发达，生活稳定、条件更好，东方人就往西方迁移。如今优势慢慢转到东方。很多欧盟国家因为大量移民涌入、治安问题尖锐、经济压力太大、生活成本高昂，局势变得不稳定。

The current concept and/or the demand in China by the bride (or bride's family) for a 'bride price' is insane.
In (outdated & abandoned) Western culture, there was a 'dowry'.
The bride's family would offer a payment (valuable property, $$$, or land) to the groom.
Why? The justification was the groom (and his family) would now be forever burdened with the responsible of taking care of her.
So, they smooth things over and make this transfer of debt more palatable, by offering something of value to close the deal.

现在中国女方或者女方家庭索要的彩礼的太高了，高到实在离谱。西方古代有一种嫁妆制度，现在已经过时了。新娘家会给新郎财物，比如贵重房产、钱、土地。为什么这么做？当时的理由是，新郎和他的家庭以后要一直承担照顾新娘的责任。所以女方拿出值钱的东西促成婚事，相当于减轻男方的负担，让婚姻更容易接受。

By their culture and nature, Chinese men makes very good husbands. They are hard-working and loyal as long as they are given love and respect.

受文化和天性影响，中国男人很适合当丈夫。只要能得到爱和尊重，他们会努力工作、对感情专一。

 

omariswandi9960
Chinese women should really VALUE AND APPRECIATE those Chinese men who are diligent and willing to work together. And stop with the mentality of treating non-Chinese AS IF they're god.

中国女性应该珍惜愿意一起奋斗、踏实肯干的中国男性，不要再高看外国男性

The thing the language is a problem in long run. If the cultural differences is too huge it’s not a guarantee for long lasting happiness

长期来看，语言沟通是一大难题。如果文化差异太大，跨国婚姻很难长久幸福。

For 5,000 years, Chinese marriages are based on $$$. Only in the last 150 years do they meet they meet before marriage.

五千年来，中国人的婚姻都离不开钱财。直到近150年，婚前男女才能先见面。

这些俄罗斯女性会不会没法和中国男人长久走下去？如果她真心爱对方，也许会留下来。

Wow no need bride price Thai Lao Vietnam Burma all country need bride price

哇塞，以为不用彩礼，泰国、老挝、越南、缅甸这些国家全都要彩礼。

 

michaellim7002
Bride price is different from dowry. Bride price is only in Co unist China with ridiculous amount request, plus gifts, jewelleries etc . They don't have bride price in Taiwan, Singapore, Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia, Myanmar and Vietnam etc.

彩礼和嫁妆不是一回事。只有中国大陆会索要高额的彩礼，还要加上礼品首饰。中国台湾、新加坡、泰国、菲律宾、印尼、缅甸、越南等地没有这种彩礼习俗。

Can somebody tell these women of the risk!
that even if they marry a Chinese citizen , they can NEVER become a Chinese citizen / get a Chinese pasport !!
The same Goes for getting permanent resideny , the Chinese greencard , also called the 5 star card , has only been issued around 13000 times since the programme inception in 2004 !( for comparison the us gives out over a million green cards per year !)
If she were to have children Their children Will be considered Chinese by birth !
Meaning if the marriage where to fall apart , they would be kicked out of the country and lose acces to her children!

能不能有人告诉这些外国女性嫁到中国的风险！就算嫁给中国公民，她们也永远拿不到中国国籍， 拿不到中国护照！也拿不到永久居留权。中国绿卡，也就是五星卡，从2004年政策推出到现在，只发放了大约13000张。对比一下，美国每年发放超过一百万张绿卡！如果婚后生育子女，孩子出生即为中国籍。也就是说，一旦婚姻破裂，女方会被驱逐出境，很难再见到自己的孩子！

darvidkoh2707
Utter bollocks. You should look at videos of foreign women married to Chinese men who became citizens.

胡说八道。你可以看看那些嫁给中国男人、成功入籍的外国女性

They are young models working in China paid to play the role for chinese medias propaganda

她们是在中国工作的年轻模特，拿钱配合中国媒体拍宣传而已。

Im really ho this trend comes to India as well.. We Indian men can be nice too, and be worthy life partners, unlike what popular news otherwise makes us out to be.. Off late, marriages in India have literally turned dangerous for men, and its time for a reset to this system

真希望这种趋势也出现在印度，外国女性也蜂拥嫁到印度来。印度男人也很优秀的，值得托付终身，和主流媒体塑造的形象不一样。最近在印度，婚姻对男性来说风险很高，是时候改变这套婚恋体系了。

違和感を感じるのは私だけですか？日本で人気があるのはアメリカ人とかヨーロッパの人だと思う。アジアの人と結婚したい人はあまりいないと思う。私の主観だけどさ

只有我觉得怪怪的吗？在日本，受欢迎的是美国人、欧洲人。想和亚洲人结婚的人并不多，这只是我的个人看法。
