If 老外 like me are attracted to Chinese gals, it’s just our body chemistry, the way other guys are attracted to blondes or redheads. Yet even my sisters say I have “yellow fever” and a few Asian friends call my dating preference a “fetish.” It’s easy to laugh this off. I’m not the only American guy who regards Chinese people as “white” because they share our Anglo-Saxon family values and have a deep appreciation for the European heritage of classical art and music. If Chinese guys were less ethnocentric they would probably find a lot of Western women attracted to them, too, and for the same reasons. This has nothing to do with Chinese nationalism, which is simply pride and patriotism in an exceptional nation. Long-term, I think 卧虎龙藏 is a better strategy.But I’m sure the webmistress will disagree.

I think your perspective is extremely simplistic and skewed. And I don’t appreciate this sort of incendiary language that you use either.

Even as a superpower still looks up to the west and so many women interacial relationships with non Chinese men. Fight like a lion, dont die like cowards.

As an Anglo sojourner, I don’t know (much) about China, when I consider all the topics you cover from Valentine couples to pop stars and organ transplant attitude.
Keep it going.
