> I built one of China’s first multi-channel networks in 2014 with Thoughtful Media Group. We grew channels on China’s YouTube-equivalent platforms. I eventually struck gold with a video called “The Beauties of ChinaJoy 2014” (CJ2014: 最性感的视频), which went viral on a video platform called Youku in July of that year.
The irony of a company called "Thoughtful Media Group" making its mark on the world with...a 4 minute YouTube video of scantily-clad models at a gaming expo.

Interesting perspective, thanks for sharing. I don’t know where either road (America’s approach vs China’s) will lead. I do think suppressing desires in a society is likely to lead unhealthy outcomes, but perhaps there’s a balance.

I think immigrants (oh, sorry, expats) in the USA would get a fairly obvious rebuke if they complained about living or doing business there.

In China, there are first tier cities and second tier cities, and there is also the issue of migrant workers . The reason college students are so strongly opposed to the 'return to the countryside' movement is that they know once you go down, there is no way back up. And joining the Communist Party, and inheriting about half of the party's positions, is part of that reality. In that sense, it's not that women have a fantasy about marrying up, but rather that they are making a survival driven choice. Even within our East Asian cultural sphere, there has been a strong preference for sons due to the agricultural way of life. As a result, selective abortion has led to a significant shortage of women.
There is criticism that my country's K dramas encourage marrying up, but I don't think women's choices in the subtly stratified hierarchy of East Asian society are wrong. It's not a war; I see it as women simply surviving

American Expat == it's not neutral
