I can see why they did this.
Not that I agree with this; far from it.
But, with the excess of males due to the one child policy, they want to allow males to marry foreign females, but ensure that Han Chinese females will marry Han Chinese males.
IN short, males have a problem finding a bride their age in today’s China, while females have no such problem. They try to solve the problem by allowing men to marry outsiders but not women.
So much for what’s left of my yellow fever. /S
But can a woman marry a woman?
This is at least as racist as anything South Africa was accused of. I expect all American businesses and institutions to divest and cease business dealings in or with China forthwith.
The irony is Chinese parents get real upset if their son marries a non-Chinese, but on the flip side don’t care if their daughter marries a non-Chinese (expect a Black, the Chinese are very racist against Blacks).
Actually Chinese parents are very happy when their daughters marries a White guy.
“Following decades of the one-child policy, China is now faced with a shocking gender imbalance – for every girl below the age of 18 in China, there are now three boys.”
Holy crap! What an imbalance! Especially for boys from poor areas because women are expected to marry above the stature they are born into.
I wonder if this has any force outside the PRC?
So, will we see Apple, Facebook, and Google leave China?
This policy has the advantage of keeping Muslim men from marrying Chinese women. Non-Muslim man marrying Chinese Muslim woman is not likely (there ARE pockets of Muslims in China).
They can’t restrict the men. Too few women there.
Stupid Chinese communists! As a father I can tell you when you tell your daughter that they cannot date someone that guy can become the most attractive person in the world to her.
I think I might take a trip to China and take advantage of my “forbidden fruit” status.
So what is their policy for Han Chinese with XY chromosomes who identify as female?
they care so much about their women that they abort them all..?
I have to wonder if this is real.
It’s been two days and you would think this news would be everywhere.
But so far I can only find this ban referenced on the one site you posted (and a blog referencing it) but no News organizations (including CCTV) mentions it anywhere.
Muhammad Ali advocated this ban. He is on video saying it. The media is boycotting the footage, as it might confuse people who were told Ali is a racial hero.
Apple Corp is happy to support these racists. Every Iphone purchase goes to line the pockets of the chinese.
So if you’re considering that mail order bride, you’d better hurry.
This is a load of bunk.
The story is fake from a news site (East Asia Tribune) with other fake stories. China is not banning interracial relationship for females.
