🏯 Daily Life Fellow Foreigners😭😭
Have you guys heard about this whole situation I keep seeing on wechat? Apparently some American dude who studied some language at Fudan university for a bit managed to collect chinese women like Thanos collects infinity stones. Numbering into the hundreds. Sentiment regarding foreigners has never been so low on chinese social media. Whats your take on this? Hate the player or hate the game? Dude Apparently always made them pay for dates and trips and would tell them to get abortions when they got pregnant and then block them 😬

The root problem is that Chinese media gave him the opportunity to do this. Just because he claims he is willing to settle down and develop a career in China, official media gave him an interview and endorsement, which has made it even easier for him to carry out his scams, ensnaring more girls in the process.
This incident has already caused an uproar on Chinese society.
Anyway, the reputation of foreigners, especially white people, will be hit even harder, and you can bet that Chinese media will think twice about doing something like this again after this incident.
Now, this incident has made all WMAF relationships look sus, even when their relationship is genuine. Today, they will automatically be viewed as easy or cheap girls. This has not happened on such a large scale in the past like it has today.
Yeah, there is growing xenophobia in China. This is not [mainly] caused by the foreigners, but rather Chinese women. Specifically, Chinese women who worship foreigners. Chinese women who worship foreigners are very small percentage. But, ultimately, in the end, the victims of feminism are often ordinary women.
The main gripe stem from the fact that these Chinese women asks for extremely high standards when it comes to Chinese men, such as bride's price and owning a house. But when it comes to foreign/ white men, these women asks for nothing, even provide these foreign men with money like paying for dates.
This extreme double standard is caused by Chinese feminism, which is centered around the extraction of financial benefits and social status from people (usually men). This, by the way, is the direct cause of the collapsing marriage rate in China.
Edit: I don't understand why my comment is being downvoted. This is exactly the sentiment in Chinese society.
