    Basically if you're a man and you live in China and you want to marry you must get an apartment/house. My favourite line from the article is a quote from a gold digger: "I would rather cry in a BMW than smile on the back of my boyfriend's bicycle." Really? Really?!

    Anyway, ever been given ridiculous conditions by your OH that'd end your relationship if you don't follow them? Or had the displeasure of meeting a gold digger?

    And the Gentleman's Club state that you can not marry a woman if you have not checked her internal plumbing system

    an indoor plumping?

    Is that like a feeding trough for large country women housed in a barn?

    Or indoor plumbing, this is typical of country women they are so full of s***

    Young Chinese are coming of age at a time of exploding wealth and rising expectations for material success.
    Should have learned from out rapidly increasing collection of vapid celtic tiger cubs.

    the Chinese system appears to be based on taking Capitalism and Communism and attempting to achieve the worst of both worlds
