CHAN URGES FOREIGNERS TO MARRY CHINESE WOMEN

A chaser for the previous post - I guess it will be interesting

Martial artist and actor Jackie Chan is urging western men to marry Shanghai women, to help spread Chinese culture and language around the world.

The RUSH HOUR star is disgusted by the global ignorance surrounding Asian issues, but hopes his campaign to lobby foreigners to wed Chinese women will improve the situation.

He says, "We can encourage more foreigners to marry Shanghai ladies so their children will be able to speak Chinese.

"It will help spread Chinese culture far and wide,"

Chan is also fighting for Chinese-style sesame seed cake shops and teahouses to open next to McDonald's fast food restaurants and Starbucks coffee houses, to educate people about Asian food and drink.

I am not sure if it is wise to marry Shanghai women, they are reportedly very authoritative and demanding, so that the whole drive smells of the wish to push the Shanghainese ladies away onto the foreigners :) On the other hand with the men-women ratio in China not in favor of the former, it may be not a politically supported decision. Chan, for one, being a foreign citizen is also married to a Taiwanese woman.
