New trend? Chinese migrant workers in Africa marry black women

New trend? Chinese migrant workers in Africa marry black women: "Over the weekend I stumbled across an interesting article on The Atlantic about Chinese workers in Africa marrying 'locals.' The article, 'Chinese Workers in Africa Who Marry Locals Face Puzzled Reception at Home,' was based on a post on the site ChinaSmack that wondered if these new marriages could be the key to solving the gender imbalances in China.
Because boys are lauded in Chinese culture and because families are limited to only one child per household, men far outnumber women in China. One of the many problems this creates manifests itself in dating and marriage. Some estimate that for every 100 Chinese women, there are 110 Chinese men, which leaves many men uncoupled and unmarried. And apparently, Chinese workers in Africa are finding ways to level the playing field."
