Zhang Ziyi is in the headlines here in China again. She was seen recently at a NY Knicks game with a laowai nanyou, or foreign boyfriend. The outrage from people writing comments is amazing. Although she has become famous in Japan, Korea, and the US, she has a hard time here in the mainland. Some Americans call her the female Yao Ming, but most Chinese mainlanders hate her.
I think Yao Ming is loved because he is a man. Yao Ming, like most Chinese men, can do whatever he wants, but for women in China there are certain roles that must be played in society. An international and cosmopolitan woman is not what most Chinese want from their women and the biggest insult is to “dirty†yourself by marrying a foreigner. Here is where the culture clash comes in.
The news has several pictures of her and a “foreign man†watching a Knicks game. The story is more in pictures showing her and the guy laughing together, whispering sweet nothings, and kissing. After introducing the event they go on to talk about how she is a horrible actress that only foreigners like.
If the story ended here I could put it down to opinion, but the comments sections are amazing looks into the Chinese idea of what women should and shouldn’t do. Here are a few samples:
“She is so cheap in the Chinese people’s minds. She’s dead to the Chinese people and should leave China forever.â€
“Women who marry foreign devils should be hung.â€
“She is shameless and cheap. He will leave her soon. Can’t she find a Chinese man to please her? After the foreign devils f#@k her she will be useless.â€
“After the foreigner tastes her snatch they will know she has a decaying one!â€
“The old man just wants to have sex with her.â€
“Zhang Ziyi is just a high level prostitute that only likes foreign d#$k!â€
Of all the comments I read, and I read about a hundred, only a couple were nice or defended her. Things like:
“Love Freedomâ€
“It’s her choice who she marriesâ€
The majority of comments, about 99%, were negative. I just can’t get over the level of nationalism and hatred that some netizens have in China. Internet maturity is not something that is easy for a whole nation to conform to, but reading this I feel like I am reading a Neo-Nazi website or a KKK forum. It is simply disgraceful.
Post Script: At the time of writing I did not leave a link to the original posting of the negative comments. I have recently went back to the original mainstream media pages and found that most pictures with the pair are no longer able to be commented on. I have found this one and this one to give you a taste, but it is much less vulgar than before.
Furthermore I challenge anyone to find a western maistream media source that allows such vulgar and racist comments. I want to see a ET (Entertaiment Tonight) or ABC comment site that has equal things to say about the affects of having a Chinese girlfriend, The gauntlet has been laid down, now prove me wrong.
well, as a Chinese, I have the same feeling as yours. Maybe it is not only nationalism, maybe people don’t really hate Ziyi, but Chinese men hate foreigners chasing after their women and Chinese women feel jealous to her popularity.
“Their” women? I hear what you’re saying though Laputa. Really, I think that public opinion is a tough battle for any celebrity to compete in and one can only hope that Ms. Zhang shrugs it off for the crap that it is – whether nationalism or just jealousy.
“Their” women comes from one of my favorite Chinese phrases, “咱们ä¸å›½çš„” that I heard from scores of my male students.
I must say some said that they were low blows and not their thoughts on the matter, but when asked what kind of people write these kinds of things and why do you not write a positive comment when you see a negative one, I was met with silence.
Most of the people I have talked to said that they would not say such vulgar things, but that they definately disagreed with marrying a foreigner. The other example I can give would be that Yao Ming was seen with a black girl a couple weeks ago and many of my students said that Yao Ming could very possibly lose some mainland fans if he were to continue the relationship.
This has nothing to do with Chinese/Western relationships, just a comment on the new colour scheme. Much harder to read small black text against a deep red backround. I know red is a Chinese colour . . . but . . . . Slightly OTT.
@floatsam: Fixed! Sorry about that – it’s amazing how easy it is to screw up the style of the site and not notice… my bad.

Excuse me,may i share this text?I have translated it into chinese in my blog,My english is bad ,but i’ve try my best.
Thank you!
^_^
Yes you can use it, thanks for asking.
I would say there are a bunch of reasons that fuel up such overreacting nationalism, which is how Chinese are brought up and educated. It is a deeply poised mentality just like you don’t like those who spit on street. Plus most netizens in China just don’t have a brain. They don’t actually want to say something but just to buzz for more noise.
I don’t care that asian women have foregin boyfriends, but can they look better. Asian women pick the ugliest forgein boyfriends. Zhang Ziyi is so pretty, she could easily find a better looking boyfriend.
He is just too OLD for her. Darn it!
I think she is an excuse for pointing fingers at Mainland Chinese as being insensible so if they (as in 100% of them) troll on the internet about her then Chinese complaints about anything may be disregarded. No one bothers to take American trolls on the internet seriously or Korean trolls or Japanese trolls. Trolls on the internet say hideous things. American celebrity websites write much worse things about all the American celebrities. I read celebrity websites more often than Chinese expat ones because the latter tend to cop a condescending unfair attitude about the Mainland Chinese before the Chinese are strong enough and informed enough to respond. I don’t read Perez Hilton’s celebrity blog because he is vicious and unfair. These comments about Zhang Ziyi don’t even compare. Nice try at hanging the Chinese out to dry. Chinese suck. They can’t do anything right. Everybody else’s shit is oh so fragrant.
Mary you are an excellent example of what I am talking about. Everything is “us vs. them”. Many cannot look past their nationality and it is glaringly clear here.
Many westerners make comments about stars and I for one hate the whole section of so=called “News”, but most western media do not allow comments that refer to the degree of how disgusting a woman’s vagina is because she has slept with a man from another race and furthermore will neverget laid in her own country because of the fact a foreign penis has entered her. It is fowl and racist.
I challenge you to show me three big name media outlets that allow denoucing of a star in such racist and nationalist terms.
Hey Mary, you just let us know how much time dem der Chinese need to be “strong enough and informed enough” … 5,000 years wasn’t enough?
Your remarks about Chinese definitely illustrate the inferiority complex that is seen on so many sites. The truth is, and this may be a bit of a news flash, there’s not an entire world out there just waiting to ‘get’ the Chinese. No one waking up each morning and etching out one more inch in their plan for Chinese domination or humiliation.
Sean’s right that celebrity rags do say a bunch of crap about celebrities – and any EDUCATED person would know enough not to bother with them. However , I got the sense that this information about Zhang Ziyi came from a credited national media source, and the fact that they allow such comments degrades the whole profession.
Now, Sean doesn’t post where he read it, but if you need any more shining examples, just visit China Daily’s forum.
You know I really made a huge mistake in the original blog not citing my sources. Now as I return to Sohu and 163 to revisit those pages full of comments, they have all been wiped clean.
BTW: Those China Daily Forums are quite a find. the sad thing is that I think most locals will find nothing unflattering about them at all.
Part of the issue is Hollywood’s constant emasculation of Asian men while go out of the way to create sexualized images of Asian women. White men have go out of their way to make Asian men look bad while trying to make themselves the ideal men for all women. How many times have you seen on Hollywood screen where a romantic lead is a man of color and the woman a white woman? Even Will Smith admitted while filming “Hitch” the part for his love interest is suppose to be a white woman but he had to change to Latino to avoid “upsetting” white male egos.
Yes Chinese people have the right to be pissed. Once they figure out how bad American Hollywood and the media continue to stereotype Asian men badly in this country, I hope they vote with their pockets and don’t ever give any money to this white controlled VERY RACIST media.
Rob you are using a typical, “yeah, but look how bad the Americans are so we can do anything” attitude that I see in many Chinese.
Whether you agree with what’s going on in Hollywood is irrelevant to the original post. The arguement is flawed in every way.
Modern conceptions and roles played by Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Chow Yunfat all show that your argument is not accurate.
Not to mention that Chinese TV and cinema have never looked at non-asian men as less than honest or good.
Again I challange anyone to show real substancial proof of an equal reaction by mainstream media.
Recently the use of certain word depicting African American people have been raised. Here in China you can be as racist as you want online and on TV with Japanese racial slurs, but as we have seen with Imus, assholes are held up to a bit more public scrutuny. Where are the Japanese activists on mainland TV?
I have went back and watched Hitch. I would love it Rob if you would quote your source. That movie has so many people of non-white background it will make your head spin. Secondly I don’t know any white man outside of the KKK and other like minded hate groups that would think like you say white men think. You are out of your mind frankly speaking.
How many Chinese movies have minorities in them? How many Uighurs are in Zhang Yimou movies? How many Tibetians get the leading role in any movie? The only minorities that make the news in China are flag-humping communist lapdogs like Daolang and his Xinjiang loves Chairman Mao shit.
Rob, seriously, get a life!
Rob BTW when was the last time you gave Hollywood a dime?
With pirated ripoffs on every corner and available on every website I do not think that Hollywood gets anything from you. Nothing at all. So where do you get off saying
“Yes Chinese people have the right to be pissed. Once they figure out how bad American Hollywood and the media continue to stereotype Asian men badly in this country, I hope they vote with their pockets and don’t ever give any money to this white controlled VERY RACIST media.
laughable at best. I assume this was a joke on your part.
THANK GOD FOR ASIAN WOMEN. THEY ACTUALLY LIKE MEN-UNLIKE THEIR FAT WHITE SISTERS.
Sean –
All I got to say you have no clue what it is like to be an Asian American in America. One of the reasons why Americans are seen as rich and wonderful is because of Hollywood. Their propaganda is everywhere. Hollywood has gone out of its way to marginalize Asians and Asian Americans. If we do see any Asians on TV, it is usually Asian women and they always are paired with white men. Should Asian men be pissed? Hell yeah. Also, Asian men are not allowed to be romantic on screen. Kissing scenes for both Jet Li (Romeo must die) and Chow Yun Fat (Replacement Killer) at end of each movie were cut out by the director deliberately.
BTW, it is obviously you are one of those white men who have a thing for Asian women. Believe me, there are plenty of you guys around. If you are trying to get with an Asian woman, it might make you seem a little sincere if you actually both to learn something about their culture. Some of the most racist people are people who seek out interracial partners. You might want to do a search on YELLOW FEVER on the Internet and educate yourself a bit.
@Rob
Again off point. You are simply hijacking the post with an excuse for why it is ok to be racist.
I happen to agree that it is bad for minorities all over and not just in the US, but your revenge theory for racism is immature and dangerous. It is the reason we have so many problems in the world today.
You mention that Jet Li and others have endured many levels of racism which is true, but using your theory I can turn it around and ask how many white men have been allowed the leading role in a mainland kung fu movie? Only lapdogs like Dashan are allowed such opportunities, and they never play heroes.
I cannot begin to understand how it must be to be an ABC. Racism is a terrible thing. It must suck sometimes and I cannot begin to understand how that must feel, but to say that every white man that has an interest in Asia has an Asian fetish is really just a cheap shot.
If anything living in China for 6 years has taught me how it is to be an outsider. Being white in an Asian country and seen as the frenemy by many has given me a unique view on how it must be for others around the world.
BTW You might want to check out the current debates on Chow Yunfat and how the PRC is receiving his character in Pirates 3 and Cameron Diaz in Peru “Serving the People”.
@Rob: I’m with Sean (not sean) on this one. I have several “ABC/CBC” (why do they all have the names of major broadcasting networks?) friends and they are absolutely the coolest, most well-adjusted people I know.
However, since coming to China I’ve met a whole other subsection of ABCs that just spin me round. This whole “so hard done by” attitude with the weight of Whitey on your shoulders… I just don’t get it.
Not because I’m white. Not because I’m privileged. Just because it’s damn counterproductive.
I imagine that many ethnically Chinese Westerners must feel a bit caught in two worlds, with no one place that they can call “home”. Feeling they are not the racial “norm” in their homeland, and feeling that the country of their ancestors doesn’t fit either… I don’t envy the situation.
However, blaming Hollywood stereotypes, or white guys with Asian girls is just stupid, and it just perpetuates the already rampant (and equally ignorant) idea that Asian men are a bunch of hyper-sensitive crybabies.
For the record, I had heard that Jackie Chan didn’t do kissing shots (and had no major love interests) in American movies because his Chinese fans couldn’t accept it and he made a point of it in his Hollywood contracts.
And as for Asian women with white male leads – that’s just a fallacy. The Asian girls with male leads are almost always in movies where they play the eye-candy love interest.
Percentage-wise, I don’t think there are more roles like this given to Asian women than any other culture group with a strong presence in the States.
There is no question that Hollywood is a bunch of racist craphustlers, but I’m certain their motivation isn’t White Male Egos, but rather Green Presidential Portraits.
However, as it comes to Asian male actors, and their lack of representation. You need to look to Hong Kong and the “type” of actor it produces. There’s virtually no market for anything but leather-jacket wearing, cop/triad-type, leg swinging, punch throwing actors.
Hollywood generally has higher standards (god it pains me to say that, as those standards are still remarkably low).
Aside from Wong Kar Wai, name an HK director that produces anything but crap Kung Fu movies.
You of course do have people that hone their craft and learn enough English to break out of that HK action genre, but they are far and few between. And is much more likely the reason they are under represented in Hollywood.
I agree with Sean that China is a nationalistic and xenophobic country. Although this is very difficult for an American to adjust to, we should recognize the vast gap in multi-cultural experience between China and America.
China is relatively homogeneous. A great deal of its direct experience with other cultures throughout history has come from invasions. America is the great melting pot land of immigrants. We have contended, sometimes successfully other times less so, with issues of race and ethnicity from day one. The result, after a hundred years of abolitionist and civil rights movements, is today’s politically correct public culture.
China may never become as multi-culturally enlightened as mainstream American public discourse is today, but over time and with every increasing contact with the outside world, I do believe the situation will improve.
Montel,
I agree with you and hope you are right. I think it will get better as China has more contact with foreign nations on equal footing.
The thing that bothers me is that it is no longer ok in this age of digital media where people’s opinions are so easily read all over the world to be so provincial and small-minded.
The times have changed and I guess I hope that more people can learn how to act appropriately in a global digital community rather than have whats happening now where corporate China endorses racism while protecting its national socialist identity.
When you talk to Chinese about who should shoulder the responsibility for their nation’s problems like pollution or even something as small as traffic, 9 out of 10 Chinese will say it is the govt’s responsibility.
One of the aims of writing the blog was to point out that state-run censors were approving this language and it was unacceptable that they were ok with it all considering the tight hold that the govt has on the net.
Who’s responsibility is this?
I completely agree with Montel’s comment. China has gone through some amazing changes and transformations in the last two decades, and is continuing its progress towards a more civilized and perhaps more importantly, a democratic society. It isn’t there yet, but there is always the hope that someday it too will become a society where every citizen enjoys the right to vote, the freedom of speech and expression, and the freedom to date and marry whoever they may choose regardless of race or nationality.
All progress takes time and effort. And for that reason humanity celebrates the great men and women who help to facilitate and bring changes that better our societies, people like Martin Luther King, Sun Yat-sun, and Robert Kennedy.
So instead of criticizing all that is lacking in China and its people, why not give them the gift of patience, and do what little we can to be a part of the force that brings positive change?
So are you suggesting that people keep their mouths shut and not point out what is obviously wrong all in the name of being patient?
I would believe that the great people you mentioned that brought about change are the ones that saw the problem and pointed it out in an effort to make things better. If no one says anything how are people to know what is right and wrong. From what i understand the blog is just saying that the level of hurtful and racist comments left on the sites would never stand a chance in western comment spaces and that the people posting them need to recognize its not right.
If you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem.
Does it really matter??? The last time I checked nationalism had nothing to do with who a person choses to be with. what’s wrong with dating outside your “own” (for lack of a better term)?
It seems like China just can’t do right in the eyes of the world! If they sensor, they are criticized for not giving their people freedom of speech. If they don’t sensor they are labeled a government who supports racism… There are web sites in America that teaches anyone interested to build a bomb, and give instructions to blow up an office building or your local high school, even the KKK has their very own web site. We don’t need to agree with it, or like it for that matter, but the rights of the individual are nonetheless respected. We might all hate bigots, but people are given the right to be bigots if they want to. At least it seems that way in America…
@Alex: I agree that if you have to err, erring on the side of more freedoms is a better choice. However, I think what’s been said here is that because there is so much censorship here in China, when stuff like this doesn’t get censored, it appears that the powers that be support it.
In there lies one of the many difference between the US and China.

“Yao Ming, like most Chinese men, can do whatever he wants”
Very, VERY untrue. Chinese men are VERY heavily burdened by Confucian obligations. Yao Ming in particular had to put all his commitments to the CNT in China first before any of his NBA games. This was quite exhausting, but he’s done it wthout complaint. He also stayed loyal to his first Chinese girlfriend and recently married her. Despite being a huge star in the NBA surrounded by temptations.
Now would a White guy ever do all this? No.
Yet another reason why I’ve come to love Chinese men. They still have a sense of nobility and loyalty. Values that have since been long lost in American culture, that few ever had.
I pass no less than 10 little red-lit “hairdressers” on my way to school every day that proves Chinese men are loyal. Damn loyal customers.
Perhaps Yao Ming married his high school sweetheart because he loves her. Perhaps he married her after poking every hot lil’ basketball groupie to think he was just so darn cute. Or perhaps he married her because everyone in China would think poorly of him if he didn’t, and he wasn’t willing to face that burden even if it meant being stuck with someone he didn’t love for the rest of his days.
People are people Rebecca, and as you’re so keen on illustrating, some people are just dumb racist twats.
“I pass no less than 10 little red-lit “hairdressers†on my way to school every day that proves Chinese men are loyal.”
Uh, what’s wrong with a single man getting a haircut?
@Betty: Nothing, well… nothing ethically as it relates to the sanctity of marriage. But if these “hairdressers” simply relied on lonely “cant get a dates” to pay the bills, they’d starve. Ditto the plethora of KTV spots and “massage” parlors.
Rebecca’s point (as it ALWAYS is) is that white guys are horrible, cheating, yellow-fevered, womanizing bastards, whereas Chinese men are ethical, loyal, upstanding specimens of perfection. Both of which are just stupid examples of ignorance.
Crazy,. this blog is still getting ignorant posters. I really hit the patriotic nail on the head with this one.
i m not going to read all post but about this issue i think i know what i m going telling you(by the way really nice site!!).
My friend just got his shoes spitted in suzhou by a old local suzhonese,my ex gf has been called bitch from some guys because she was with me(god sake i didnt understand chinese that time)and i have to agree that chinese peopel are pretty nationalist and kinda way racist against foreigners,and despite their politness somethimes u can get it if u understand chinese.
The hardest life belongs to blacks in china,i guess but also white people are considered 色狼 usually.About “our woman” and so on i just think dont need to add nothing to such misery way of expressing nationalism.
Interesting from language point of view is that the word KAIFANG which should be open minded,which in western has a good meaning in china many times means many time just bitch when refered to woman….

Another white man with a holier-than-thou attitude.
Maybe they can’t stand this pairing is because white men have gone out of its way to stereotype Asian men. You see it in all the media representations in North America. You see it in all the Hollywood movies. It is pathetic and obvious what these white men are doing to make themselves “the men” while stereotyping minority men (especially Asian men) in negative light. It is most obvious racism Asians living in North America experience daily. Until America or other Western media wake up and treat all the people fairly, there will always be a huge resentment towards white men using their self propagated status to get women or whatever. Until America treat all men equal as stated in the constitution, there will always be resentment towards the white men.
Im speaking as someone who has the experience of growing up in China and the understanding of abit of sociological theory.
There is more than enough evidence to show that China netizen have little maturity in posting comments but it would be naturally falling into a kind of culturally biased perspective to compare such negative comments with western racism that has diminished but yet suvived at an institutional level together with the progressive advancement of a civil society.
For quick introduction, these points are mentioned. They are not hard and fast rules but frequent patterns in their conversation and culture.
Chinese netizens like to use “tongue in cheek” remarks or abusive language without a deep conviction in faith or “logical deduction” for the sake of criticising and making fun of issues.
There might be popular inferiority complex towards “laowai” from “powerful” (developed)countries but Chinese people, almost all, have no deep belief in coloured coded form of racial bigotry. An abusive remark can be directed Southern/northern,(size, culture) migrant worker of different provincial ancestry (poverty) or an American (arrogant imperialist) or more intensively towards Japanese(history of aggression and genocide in China) But yet philosophically Chinese perception of a value of a person is based on his merit,(paper qualification, money, attraction or power)due to (confucian?) and the physical existence of a person being distinct from what he is due to (Taosim? Non-abrahamic conception of existence?) General popular belief in success coming from hardwork independent of giftness (as compared to American belief such as bell curve, race and IQ).
Inter-marriage between non-Han and Han in China and intermarriage involving Han-Chinese dispora oversea remains statistically high. The non-seriousness of insensitive remarks by Chinese Netizen, (cursing other’s ancestors, making fun of ugly people, popular celebrity, and occasional jingoistic militant remarks in Cross-strait political ties) must be understood with reference to contemporary chinese culture and best described as a temporary phenomenon in a transitory phase of the nation marked by high level of dissatisfcation from inequality and stress.
To examine xenophobia or bigotry, we need to look like more concrete evidence such as beliefs and action.
My open challenge to Sean and those who agree with him to show me literature, campaign or movement dedicated to “scientific”, “religious” or spiritual racism and evidence of Chinese people subjugating minority into inferior political/socio-economic status or deliberate and significant practice to avoid “miscegenation” or practise segregation in Modern China or in Chinese histroy.
China girls are all bitches!! What they want is just your money, money and more money!! Nothing else is in their mind. when they come to a new country, the China women already have their mission statement, which is “to cheat money from the local Man”. The China women are so shameless, fucking shameless. hate their attitude and hate their look! Why they must become prostitutes? Can’t they find any other job that is legal and stop digging the money from MAN?
Anyway the impression of the China WOMEN for me is DISGUSTING!!!!
You have a nice blog. I’ve added it to my faves.
That Guy was a fucking Jew. Not a white male. A Khazar Ashkenazi Jew Bastrad.
I find it highly amusing the amount of anger directed towards white guys. My experience here has been that many really don’t like us but want what we have. They pay us more money than their own teachers but have a hard time accepting what we teach, even when their chinese teachers are wrong. We get invited out for free food and booze but will call us monkeys while serving us. People make fools of themselves trying to impress their friends at our expense. This kind of behaviour makes no sense to me at all. As for the women I have met they have told me they are interested in foreign men because we tell them what we want. My male friends tell me how they would never talk to a person they don’t know because there is a chance they will be shot down. All of this just makes no sense to me at all. I can get angry about it but instead I choose to laugh because at the end of the day its so ridiculous. I believe jealousy, self loathing and fear play a big part in some of these extremist attitudes.
whats even funnier are the comments posted by the women here.
“Yet another reason why I’ve come to love Chinese men. They still have a sense of nobility and loyalty. Values that have since been long lost in American culture, that few ever had.”
I have met more men here that have no problem visiting hookers as part of their daily life and than going home to their wives and family. I have been amazed at how nonchalant their attitude is in regards to disloyalty. When I first arrived I was invited by a group of married men to go to a sauna. When I declined they could not understand why. Fidelity here does not seem so important as long as your partner does not find out.
@mary
You seem to be yet again another example of someone who can read and write english but has no clue what is being said. You react with anger because you assume that we as foreigners think China is bad. But if you were to think about it for a moment “why would we live here if China was such a bad place to be?” My hope is that there are less of your types as the years go on.
It is obviously white guys here are oblivious to all the racism practiced in the good old USA.
To one of the guys who said they do that in China too. Well, the problem is Chinese movies and drama are not being seen world wide. Hollywood movies are. Hollywood are controlled by bunch of racist Jew white men. There is a reason why we see a zillion movies showing the Jewish experience while discounting all other minority experiences.
Have anyone ever wonder why Palestinians are bunch of terrorists while Jews are bunch of heroes?
1. When Jews kill 1000+ Palestinians, they are protecting their country and fighting terrorism.
2. When China is trying to put down a domestic Uighur riot, they are violating human rights and committing genocide.
See the difference how media in this country portray both parties? It is not surprising considering Zionist controlled media is as bias as it gets. Yes America has freedom of speech, but that freedom is only as good as the person sending out information. When that person is a racist white person, the message is always bias and self serving.
Yes Jew white men control Hollywood and media right now. Something like 95% of media in USA are run by white Jewish men. This is the reason why everyone thinks all white men are rich even when it is not true.
What is this obsession with Asian women? It seems these white guys only want to put Asian women in movies so they can pair with white men. They either make Asian men invisible or try to make fun of them through ugly stereotypes. We don’t even see an Asian man with an Asian woman in American movies or TV. How much more obvious can these racists get? These white men obviously got some major fetish for Asian women. Their brainwashing plan is working since there are definitely some very brainwashed whites and Asians aboard and in the USA.
As for folks who are arguing about Hollywood racism against Asian men, I will leave you with a documentary regarding this very issue. You can hear it from actors themselves.

Just remember the American domination won’t last forever. History will change again. 200 years of dominance is nothing in the history of mankind. When someone else controls the media and economic power, things could change again.
This is an article that rings very close to home. As one of the most harmless laowai in Beijing (I am polite, would never go for a ‘dirty haircut’, work hard and who spends most of his money in the country), I still get hissed at, stared at, glared at and called things just for breathing the same air as my girlfriend (who yes indeed, is Chinese). My girlfriend bares the brunt of the name calling in Chinese (race traitor, slut, anti-east…etc)
I have come to the conclusion that 95% of Chinese men hate me. My girlfriend has lost a job because she told to her boss that she is dating a foreigner. It’s a lost cause, if you live in China as a foreign man, Chinese men will hate you because chances are you have one of “their” women. I guess women are chattel to them. They own them or something.
Many times I ask myself why I don’t just give up, be a suck and get on a plane back to my home planet. The answer is now obvious: I’m staying in China just to spite all of those bastards! I will continue living here, making money and enjoy life with a beautiful and open-minded (yes it is possible) Chinese girlfriend.
