As China globalises the number of marriages between Chinese
people and foreigners is increasing. These Chinese-foreign
marriages have profound implications for China s cultural identity.
This book, based on extensive original research, outlines the
different types of Chinese-foreign marriage, and divorce, and the
changing scale and changing patterns of such marriages, and
divorces, and examines how such marriages and divorces are
portrayed in different kinds of media. It shows how those types of
Chinese-foreign marriage where Chinese patriotism and Chinese
values are preserved are depicted favourably, whereas other kinds
of Chinese-foreign marriage, especially those where Chinese women
marry foreign nationals, are disapproved of, male foreign nationals
being seen as having a propensity to infidelity, deception,
violence and taking advantage of Chinese women. The book contrasts
the portrayal of Chinese-foreign marriage with the reality, and
with the depiction of Chinese-Chinese marriage where many of the
same problems apply. Overall, the book sheds much light on changing
social processes and on current imaginings of China s place in the
world."
