more locals marrying foreigners

NEARLY 3,000 Shanghainese tied the knot with people from 55 overseas countries and regions last year, growing 22.97 percent from a year earlier, Wenhui Daily reported today.

The average age gap between Shanghai women and their foreign husbands is 10.5, and 13 percent of the foreign husbands are 20 years older than their local brides, the report said. (source)

Well, no surprises there. While there are some marriages truly based on 'love', do these other men seriously expect their wives to -

i). be the subservient little asian housewife who cleans up after them?
ii). stick around long once their citizenship has been issued and the welfare cheques start rolling?

Me thinks not... cunning little badgers.
