Forums > Living in Kunming > China bans interracial marriage!

legislation that will ban Chinese women from marrying non-Chinese men, with the law coming into effect at the beginning of 2018 (The race is on to the marriage office).

Following decades of the one-child policy, China is now faced with a shocking gender imbalance – for every girl below the age of 18 in China, there are now three boys (1:3).

www.51test.net/show/5315044.html - More women are now attending college or university. (Female 54% Male 46%). This trend is similar across all provinces in China. Educated females seek educated men.

We need to ensure there are enough Chinese women available for marriage.

One of the more controversial aspects of the new law is the fact that Chinese men are not banned from marrying women of other races. Because we have such a shortage of women in China, we need to make sure Chinese men have as many opportunities as possible to find a bride.

Prepare an exit strategy - Better safe than sorry. In times of turmoil all things change quickly and people and countries act in self-interest. Get certified to teach in ANY country. Travel to neighboring countries to see if they are both Chinese and laowai friendly. Cambodia has few restrictions on visas (6 mos - 1 yr) for both foreigners and chinese. Most importantly, prepare your chinese wife to work or teach abroad. Many things can be done now in preparation because it is never too late to learn and re-learn.

For those of us who have been married for more than 5 years we ALL need to go to PSB and apply for the Green Card. Regardless of how many hoops we must jump through (time, expense, etc) I think it is in our best interest to get this done - the more the better, the sooner the better.

2008 - 2016 - A lot has changed in the last 8 years since the Olympics opened the floodgates to foreigners.

There are many examples in history where people did NOT see the writing on the wall until after it was too late. What goes around comes around - the US has done this many times.

What a catastrophe! Recently visited Nanning, Guangxi which also has a bike program. All the bikes are uniform in color (Orange) and there is 1 type of payment method. They are neatly placed in bike racks all over the city. They come in clusters of 20 and they are found at every subway station in groups of 20, 40, and 60 depending on location. There are cameras mounted on either side of the bike racks for safety and supervision. People can easily find the bike racks and use the bikes and return them to conveniently located bike racks in other parts of the city.

Kunming has 3 types of bikes and 3 types of payment. There are very few bike racks so there are no central locations to get a bike if you need them. I live at the edge of the city in a village and there are bikes scattered everywhere. The people here use them, drive them home and park the bike it in front of their door where no one else can use them. They now have their own private bikes that they can use and abuse and when it gets destroyed they just go get another one. The bike sits idle all day until that person (Temporary owner) is ready to use it again. Kunming should learn from the many other cities that use bikes and create a system that serves all. I am sure the companies who operate these bikes will lose a lot of money from this program.

I enjoy reading the articles on this site but what really drives me nuts is when the article does not clearly state where this place is located - a basic essential in writing - missing.

Village name is great - how about a county and a prefecture along with that.

Very annoying and NOT the first time.

1 - Once the image was published on Chinese social media the firestorm began, and continues unabated nearly two weeks later.

2 - although some more vocal microbloggers have called for a police investigation and arrests.

I can teach reading and comprehension for a small fee.

The new Visa office is located at 118 Tuo Dong Road. There is no number on the building yet so do not bother to look for it. There are 2 passport photo shops on either side of the building. The office is located directly in front of the Kunming Museum. The bus stop is named - Shi Bo Wu Guan - Bus 1, 62, 109, 117, 145, 213, A1 and K3 stop directly in front of the office. Foreigners need to go to the 3rd floor. The Tuo Dong Stadium is located to the right of the office while Baita Road is located to the left of the office.
