China Bans Interracial Marriages For Females; No Plans To Restrict Men

[Deleted]

The Supreme People’s Court of China today passed legislation that will ban Chinese women from marrying non-Chinese men, with the law coming into effect at the beginning of 2018. The policy had been fiercely debated for a number of months before it finally won approval from the required number of legislators earlier today. Civil rights groups in China have condemned the restriction, pointing out that it discriminates against women by still permitting males to enter into interracial marriages.

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.”

Is apartheid repeating in china?

Nevermind. It's apparently fake.

Well there goes my master plan

But yeah, this is pretty ridiculous, taking a sledgehammer to a serious social issue of gender imbalance, if anything I think this is unenforceable and will lead to a huge amount of criminalisation of the public in China

Something about this sounds kinda silly though, surely there is no way this could ever happen

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. “The law was introduced in order to promote social harmony,” commented one of the People’s Courts legislators. “We need to ensure there are enough Chinese women available for marriage; otherwise there is a high probability of increased levels of rape and other violence.” 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.”

Government regulates civil rights to get desired results, creates even worse problems, double-downs on same mistakes.

I somehow doubt that this regulation will have the effect China is looking for. They're fucking up their culture more and more through authoritarianism.

OK - never mind

It's a hoax, I had to check because it sounded so crazy

Fake

Hoax based on government advise to workers to not date foreigners, especially tips for their women being seduced by foreign intel.

Not as if China consists of the same ethnicity anyways, even though most claim being of Han descent.

You also have the Uyghurs which are Islamic and of Turkic descent and look rather different than most Han Chinese despite being Chinese themselves.
