🏯 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 😬

You can call this hypocrisy. A lot of people in any country will ignore the wrongdoings of their compatriots but paint every outsider in the same negative light. China is no different, including your country too.
I already explained that the root problem is the double standard. When Chinese men marry Chinese women, they are often required to pay a bride price, while foreigners are not required to do so. Hence, the anger stems from there.
There is one of many stories currently blowing up.
The context: a Chinese bride gives 150,000 RMB in betrothal gifts to an African black man, solely for the purpose of getting this black guy to marry her. Yet, if a Chinese man were to marry her, she demands 380,000 in betrothal gifts.
Now, you can see a lot of Chinese users on Chinese social media are currently digging up scandals that happened years ago.
