1: Being in and out of China in hotels does not qualify. I've lived in second and their tier cities for seven years here. The most podunk the place, the more those standard seven happen.
2: I speak fluent mandarin, so the shock of that is amazing. When I didn't speak, I was told I needed to learn and was never taught. I taught myself to read, write and speak.
3: My wife is not a gold digger. . .but I've seen it, experienced it and dealt with it before I got married. To get married in China, you need to buy a house and a car because her family wants her to be taken to her new home in a car. . .and the man must pay for it all. Shanghai is one of the worst places for this.
4: Since I don't know where you are staying when you are here in China, you would not get this much, but again. . .I have not lived in first tier cities. Nanjing and Suzhou are second tier cities and Shijiazhuang was about as low on the totem pole you can get.
5: I am married to a Chinese girl (yes, girl. I made that mistake. A woman in China, as I have been yelled at, is old, fat and married. Even my wife calls herself a girl). The last part of what you say is correct. . .and she's a farm country girl from a small 村 called 李庄, outside of the 5th tier city of 丹阳 in Jiangsu.
6: When I first moved here, my answers were not sarcastic. But now, they are because the entitlement of answering comes with it. I asked you a question, foreigner. . .answer me!
7: I am a man in China. Foreign women get alot of sexism from men here too. Go onto echinacities.com and read the news articles and the comments on them. Your perspective might change.

Here are a few articles FROM China. Enjoy.
Again, meant respectfully. . .I don't know where you stay in China, but if it's a first tier, you might not get this much. I have worked to stay out of those places. So far, Suzhou is the only place where I have not gotten this much, but I also live, for the first time, in a the foreigner section of town (Suzhou Industrial Park 工业园区
. If I lived in 市区 or 新区, I might get the things I said.
