I think many foreign women are turned off by what most women perceive as bad habits. Habits like lack of cleanliness, lack of courtesy, constant spitting, loud farting, urinating in public and especially the way Chinese men, in general, treat their women - very badly.

 

Of course, this is not true of all Chinese men, so there are a very small number of Western women/Chinese men couples around. But very few indeed.

Also, western men can marry a Chinese woman and bring her back home and provide a good life and be the bread winner. But most foreign woman would not want a life in China, so they would have to go through the trouble of bringing them back to a western country, not many woman willing to do that I geuss.

I think most the mixed relationships that I see, a western woman and a Chinese man is the least common. In fact, I have yet to see a Chinese man with any woman who is not Chinese. Maybe they can't get, maybe they don't want.

Do ABC's count?  How about Chinese who immigrated to the US at young age?  I know several of these guys with non-Chinese wives.

 

As far as Chinese men born and raised in China having a foreign wife (other than those bought or bartered for from North Korea, Cambodia, Vietnam, etc)....nope, never seen that.

Chinese men are afraid of foreign women over whom they are likely to lose control.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
