I read Entropy-7's post and had to share my perspective.

I'm an engineer who is the director of a startup. We manufacture in China and also our investors are from China / Greater China so I spend half my time in tier 1 cities (Shenzhen, Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Taipei). I'm in a LTR so these are just observations but I wanted to briefly respond and to discuss on why China can be seen as a paradise but also why it isn't.

Red pill is knowledge; and amongst our community there are two types of men, men who see a sinking ship and will drink themselves to a stupor as the ship goes down, and men who want to repair that ship. I think it's important to recognise the symptoms of an ill society and not project those on other cultures like China.

Chinese; particularly Chinese women are very hypergamous. Chinese culture is defined by status and your guanxi (关系 face). This is derived from wealth, status, title etc. With the 1 child policy it is incredibly important to marry up - parents instil these values as if you marry a Chinese woman, you marry their family and you will support the in laws as they retire.

Many Westerners will find China to be a paradise because by most respects even a solid 6 white male foreigner (Laowai) will be regarded around a 8-9. He is inherently seen to be exotic, worldly, tall, and there is a perception that he is wealthy. The reality is that most foreigners are relatively either underpaid poor English teachers or relatively wealthy expats there for work for a few years. One will often see older foreigners who just never left, the loss of this privilege can be a massive reverse cultural shock.

There is a massive wealth inequality in China, Chinese are by Western standards either poor (peasant or rural family) or very wealthy (Fuerdai - 富二代 second generation rich, Hongerdai - 红二代 second generation red blood). There is a growing middle class however it's overplayed by the Chinese Govt and is far smaller demographically than in the West.

For me, although I am paid perhaps just above average for an engineer in the West, in China, you have a driver, dress well (HK is heaven for tailored suits), have a nice car (a m5 for example will cost at least 3x than in the states) and a nice apartment. The lifestyle also can be very different than in the west, with the exchange rates it is easier to never cook, clean, do laundry etc, for yourself.

For the millions of poorer Chinese women in big cities; a foreigner is seen (perhaps incorrectly) a step up. Many foreigners can with little ease bed these women, there is little 'game' required. Such behaviour is frowned upon; as there is an implicit social contract that that sex outside of marriage is a display of an intention to wife her. Chinese are typically shy, but if you are a foreigner you will find it incredibly easy to meet, date and bed the lower or middle class Chinese (I'd argue almost too easy); even more so if you are a white expat, tall, handsome, dress well etc.

Many ESL expats know the above either implicitly and exploit this. Many do not dress well as they don't have to, don't observe or respect the local culture and treat local women rather poorly - just another lay. I say many, not all, some a very hard working young men on a gap year or there to explore a new culture or language. However, some of these expats are the worst human beings I've met, they are basically there for a subsistence wage (as English teachers or a white monkey) and easy lays. It is a symptom of what is wrong with the West culturally; as they are tied down to hedonism and the CC.

Many men find it incredibly difficult not to ride the CC in China. A significant proportion of my social circle of businessmen and friends in China that are either expats or fuerdai (educated in the West typically) will spend literally years banging local girls - whilst being married too. In this respect it is a paradise but I think many would also recognise that it's also a fools paradise. It's easy for easy lays, but as challenging for the women who inspire you to be the best man or father you can be.

If you're an expat wanting to date the upper echelon of Chinese it's still difficult, firstly you're a foreigner; most Hongerdai (second generation red) can't have relationships with foreigners and secondly even if you are wealthy and have a valuation of $5-10M; you're still poor by their standards. Most of these upper class women will look down on most Westerners; we are seen to be the help - even if you work for a big 4, or are a management consultant, you work 50-80 hour weeks to earn what they define as pocket money. The behaviour of many other ESL expats; drunken fights in Sanlitun, vomiting in the streets, promiscuity etc can tarnish the reputation of you as an expat instantly.

Women will never marry down; if she is a millionaire and over 30 she will find it difficult to marry. Many other wealthy Chinese men will never consider to marry a wealthy woman over 30 unless it was for business or her family is very well connected. You do see a lot of either divorced wealthy Chinese women (fuerdai or hongerdai) who will choose to be alone (and have male mistresses) than marry down - despite the pressure to marry in China.

Many TRP men see China as this paradise for the exact same reasons the West is not, easy fucks. Everything Entropy said was correct, but the conclusions that it makes China more desirable are from a purely hedonistic perspective. As a TRP writer who is older by 20 years and perhaps wiser; I would hope he would impart this wisdom to those looking to China, not just how you have to teach your Chinese plate anal.

Overall China is different, interesting culture but not a place to find a wife unless you're invested for the long haul. On behalf of the few men I know who have married Chinese women largely, I can only put it concisely; don't.
